Are you suddenly getting a lot of alerts from your Malwarebytes app? Are Google-owned websites and services suddenly not working anymore, perhaps even including the browser, Google Chrome? It’s not just you.

Many Malwarebytes users are currently experiencing these problems, and currently, there’s only one fix — disabling the software entirely. The question is, where does the problem lie? Is Google truly compromised or is Malwarebytes just broken right now?

Update: Malwarebytes has announced that the issue is now resolved and issued a software update. However, some people are still reporting problems. If you’re experiencing issues, try to update your copy of Malwarebytes.

Having trouble accessing Google.com this morning? Google isn’t down, but it might have to do with Malwarebytes being used on your device.

Update: Malwarebytes says this issue has been resolved, though the fix may take time to roll out to all users. The company has yet to offer an exact explanation as to what caused this problem.
