Quote from oraclewizard77:
Malwarebytes does not solve most of these problems. Another issue just happened today after updating flash, all videos on youtube were green screen.
I ran Malwarebytes since I thought maybe I accidentally installed some spyware, but it said I was not infected.
However, after a google search, I found out others had similar problems, and it was solved by right clicking on the video, then clicking settings, and unchecking hardware acceleration. I don't remember ever selecting hardware acceleration in the 1st place, but maybe it was installed by default by the updated version of flash.
Both of the problems you described aren't security issues - they are configuration issues, therefore it is not surprising that "Malwarebytes does not solve most of these problems"
There is a big difference between malware and poorly written software/unintended consequences.
And as someone else mentioned, if you are going to run things like Adobe Flash and Java you should let it update when it wants to - they are finding new exploit vectors for both of these all the time, running an older version leaves you vulnerable.
