    Hi guys a quick question if anyone can add anything to it.

    I have the Malware bytes premium app (paid for) but when it is running it fairly slows the laptop surfing time by a bit, the minute i exit the app the lappy runs fine and fairly fast net surfing,Anyone else ever had any issues with Malware bytes and slowing surfing down thx in advance.

    The lappy is an Acer Aspire running win 7 64 bit but as i say wen app is exited it runs fairly fast like normal.

    Don't Think I can add anything, I use MBAM premiun on all my pc's and laptops and never noticed any slow down. It's real time scanner only blocks IP addresses on the web and not URL's so I have no ideas for you.. Sorry o_O

    Thx for the replies guys and a quick update, i uninstalled the premium version and installed the free version and the issue goes away ie the browsing time is as normal. So don't know if it's something to do with the real time protection on the premium app as this is not included in the free version.
