Can be easily restarted from Services or start command or even from just running the executable itself!Ĭan you allow a 'Stop' command in Services? I can't see why not? Causes no corruption (from what I've found) to the programģ. Plus ending the process in Task Manager (without restart) is:Ģ. This is (from what I've found) that by forcibly stopping your Antivirus software, it is possible to corrupt the program itself, especially noted to larger (horrible in my view) antivirus programs such as Norton or McAfee.īut Malwarebytes does not fall into this category of being large. Similarly most Antivirus programs also do not allow 'Stop' as an option. Nor does 'Stop' option exist in Services alongside MBAMService? The requested control is not valid for this service. I notice that MBAMService.exe does not allow the stop service command:

But this requires a Windows restart, and then to manually re-enable the service again after that! Many state that you can just uninstall Malwarebytes, or even stop it using some startup manager. Yes we all love Malwarebytes, but sometimes we don't need it consistantly running in the background.Įxamples of this may be when installing a known safe program (ie Adobe products etc)) or even a local (safe) game.
