Hmmm.... That is installed on my machine, but Windows will not recognize it and is trumping it with Defender.

Hello @dbartenstein:

If your W11Pro system is otherwise running correctly, please take the time and trouble to "Start new topic" in the Malwarebytes 4.x Beta sub-forum and supplement by first running the Malwarebytes Support Tool (MBST):

1. Download the Malwarebytes Support Tool from https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbst
2. In your Downloads folder, open the mb-support-x.x.x.xxx.exe file.
3. In the User Account Control pop-up window, click Yes to continue the installation.
4. Run the MBST Support Tool.
5. In the left navigation pane of the Malwarebytes Support Tool, click Advanced.
6. In the Advanced Options, click Gather Logs. A status diagram displays the tool is Getting logs from your machine.
7. A zip file named mbst-grab-results.zip will be saved to your desktop, please attach that .zip file to your new topic.

Only after the Malwarebytes Support Tool has successfully run, if you are convinced today's BETA is detrimental to you system's cyber safety, then "Uninstall and reinstall Malwarebytes using the Malwarebytes Support Tool" by carefully following the procedures at https://support.malwarebytes.com/hc...warebytes-using-the-Malwarebytes-Support-Tool and this will properly revert your W11Pro system to the current MB4 release version. Please do remember to disable BETA testing.

If you are unwilling or unable to do the above, please post a reply in this sub-forum.

Thank you always for your willingness to BETA test MB4 and your patience and understanding.
