I decided the easiest way to fix was to uninstall and then download and reinstall Malwarebytes

However when I tried to uninstall Malwarebytes it failed
Error Message

Run time error
(at407.201)
Could not call proc

Advice how to fix problem would be appreciated

Windows 7 Pro 64bit

Antivirus Avast

Many thanks in anticipation

1454845 2018-10-24 00:52:00 I'm on the same version of Windows, and my MalwareBytes is running fine. A few days ago they offered a free upgrade to a newer version (which I've taken). Do you know if yours updated?

If you can't uninstall, try just reinstalling over the top of the copy you've got and see what happens.

1454846 2018-10-24 00:54:00 Additional... I see that you've got both Avast AND Malwarebytes installed. It's a good chance Avast is obstructing the installation of Malwarebytes. You normally need only one or the other. Not both of them. Paul.Cov (425)
1454847 2018-10-24 01:30:00 i have the upgraded version of Malwarebytes, but i only use it for additional system scans, not the two working at the same time.
It had been running OK up till now, and has now crashed without warning

1454848 2018-10-24 16:59:00 Just btw., and I probably should've sent this -just- in a PM - Avast! can be disabled via the tray right-click menu... You know, without having to uninstall it, to see if it may help (probably not). Worst-case scenario, since it (most probably) won't, suddenly, "start working" again: you could try to run a SFC scan to "repair" your Windows system files.

EDIT: Oh, apparently (!), this is some kind of a common error, or something?!??

As stated,
Apparently, the Qt5core.dll was a part of the Mbam program. I uninstalled the program, downloaded it again, reinstalled the program and the problem is gone.
