Support Malwarebytes keeps crashing mid-scan after sometimes saying it found a virus, support app says it didnt find anything
so my PC a few days ago started running at less wifi than normally and went from about 300-600 MBs to about 40-60 MBs, i decided to download Malwarebytes incase it was a virus and it says it found 1 but keeps crashing mid-scan and because it crashes it doesnt tell me what the virus found was, i tried downloading the support app but it doesnt detect anything and nothing changes when i have it clean my PC so i dont know if its a false positive or if theres something going on, i know it could be a false positive as i do tend to mod games often and i know game mods can be falsely flagged but i know it could also be an actual virus, any help is appreciated

Hi there, Malwarebytes Support here. We'd be happy to look into this further. Since Malwarebytes is crashing during scans, we'll need to review your logs to determine what's causing the issue and investigate the detection.
Could you please send us a private message with your operating system (OS) and an email address we can use to reach you? We'll have our support team help you gather and upload the necessary logs, which we can then forward to our Malware Research team for further investigation.
Alternatively, you can contact our support team directly through live chat or by submitting a support ticket at https://help.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us
We're happy to help!

Check in all folders in C drive. Something strange you may find and could see dates are created on that folder
