How can the answer be improved?

Running Windows 10, with Malwarebytes version 3.0.5.1299. Usually after being on for awhile, I get a popup that a Real Time Protection Layer is turned off, which always turns out to be Web Protection. I've tried the Turn On button on the popup but it doesn't work, the popup just returns.

On the Protection tab, once you move the slider, it says starting but then just hangs there. A reboot seems to address this for awhile, but then it comes back.Is this due to the computer going to sleep or what? I did have some problems in December between Malwarebytes and System Mechanic, but I reinstalled Malwarebytes and all seems to be well, except for this popup.Thoughts would be appreciated. This is a pretty common issue in this release as several other threads show. I have a suspicion it might be a hard one to fix as it seems a bit different for different people.

In my case I never have it turn off. Approx 50% of the time when the computer is booted, web protection starts fine. Maybe 40% of the time it is off, but clicking 'turn on' in the popup fixes it. Of the remaining 10% or so of the time, 1/2 of the time clicking that button does not work and I have to open the interface and manually turn it on. The remaining times, even that does not work and I have to quit MB and restart to get it to stay on. Once on, it is on for good for me.But as your description, and other threads show, there are different scenarios for different people.

I hope that does not make it too hard to fix. Running Windows 10, with Malwarebytes version 3.0.5.1299.

I have malwarebytes version 3.0.6.1469. Says 'Your not fully protected Turn on real time protection layers to block threats'. I turn on, exit, open again and is turned off. Each time I open is turned off, turn back on, exit, open and is off again. I keep turning on and it keeps turning off. I had uninstalled and reinstalled 2 or 3 times in last couple of weeks.

On Wednesday 2.1.2017 I did a uninstall in safemode couple hours ago-after about 2 hours now it appears that the real time protection remained on. I forgot to set the rootkits on so am running scan again. Will see if that changes anything. Hi,i was in the same situation until this morning; just think about Winodws 10 anniversary update, which created more security requests than ever.

Here is a chronological event history:Due to the Web Protection turning itself off, I reinstalled Malwarebytes earlier this week.

At that point, the Web Protection was turned on, like it should be. Looking through various threads, one suggested enabling the self protection module early start, so I enabled that earlier this week.

I thought that was keeping the Web Protection module from turning itself off.At that point, it ran fine for about 4 days. Computer was on the entire time, did not shut it down, simply was using sleep mode. Then, surprise, tonight it turned off again, and while I tried to start it again, it just hung in limbo. Looking at the forum again, I saw one post that said to try disabling the self-protection mode and see if that helped. I tried to disable the self protection mode, and surprise again, I was unable to actually disable the self protection mode. The little bitty button wouldn't slide over.So, again I removed and reinstalled 3.0.6.1469.

After startup, all is working fine, and Web Protection is ON. I was going to follow your steps above to provide you some logs, but stopped at #6, as it seems that you are looking for logs that are showing something that is inhibiting the Web Protection module from starting. As my Malwarebytes is actually working correctly at the moment, I don't think collecting log files would do any good.Since enabling self protection module early start didn't seem to fix the problem earlier, I am leaving it turned off for now.Cheers.

This problem cropped up here for the first time today. What fixed it (so far, so good!) was Celee's 2nd option from his/her closed thread:(1) Under Settings - Protection, turn on 'Enable self-protection module early start'. Then reboot and see if your protection module starts up(2) If that doesn't work, under Settings - Protection, turn off the option for 'Enable self-protection module'.

Then reboot and see if your protection module starts up.

Earlier I had bit-defender AV but I uninstalled it (Even I used bit-defender uninstaller tool). Still it shows the error. Please suggest me a solution. Is there any kind of tool which detects the AV or removes any left over AV files?I'm currently on Windows 10 (version 1607) build 14372Attaching the screenshot of windows defender.Thank you:)Once you have Bit Defender completely uninstalled, try option #2 here.

Windows Action Center will give you a notification to turn on Windows Defender when it detect no other antivirus are running. No need to perform option #2 as it not necessary.I mean no disrespect, but @ and @ are both VIP/Gold Members/Gurus here at tenforums.com with many 1000s of posts between them. As such, their expert advice is generally quite sound and reliable.

They both 'know their stuff'.The OP's problem is that WD is.not. turning on as it should, so it would probably be a good idea for @ to try their suggestions, no???MM.
