The situation has not improved all that much unfortunately a quick Windows Task Manager check revealed that the Malwarebyte's processes used roughly 280 Megabytes on the test system with the interface displayed and about 220 Megabytes with the interface not displayed. One of the main issues that I had with Malwarebytes 3 was the application's high memory use. While it is not a lot easier to toggle a feature on or off, it is easier to find out if a feature is enabled or not at the time. The real-time protection modules have toggles now to turn functionality on or off whereas Malwarebytes used less visible text-only information previously for that.

The right sidebar content changed not dramatically but still noticeable. If you have not used Malwarebytes for some time you may notice that the interface changed slightly. Malwarebytes released version 3.5.1 of the client software for Windows recently reason enough to take another look at the software program to find out what has changed, improved, and what has not. It did not help that the company released a broken update in early January of 2018 that caused high RAM and CPU usage the update was pulled quickly but the damage was done. Core reasons were super high memory usage and stability issues which the first couple of updates that the company released to remedy the situation did not fix.
