Inactive Malware Bytes has stopped working

[Dawn999]

I am inundated with adware and purchased Malware Premium thinking it would help.
So far I cannot get it to scan.
It freezes and "Stops working" as it Looks for Updates.
I did a clean install, rebooted, disabled Symantec Protection, and installed.
Same problem. I am so frustrated. Have reached out to them, but have not heard back.
Am running Windows 7 if that helps.
Any suggestions? Thanks,
