MalwareBytes This this app gave me a lot of problems it begin to clean my system which use was nice then it started slowing my system down two days later as if it was loading a whole bunch.So I tried to uninstall it it got rid of the app but it left behind something that keeps popping up and going crazy my system speeded up I guess it's just running too fast for my system I don't know I don't want the program I think it might be a problem
