Malwarebytes has released a new version of the component package, 1.0.1236, which (allegedly) fixes this issue.
If you don't want to wait for the 'Update Available' notification, go right ahead and retrieve the update manually by clicking "Check for updates" in Settings > General.
What’s New in 1.0.1236:
30 day Security Summary
Additional Enhanced Compatibility for Web Protection
Improved detection and remediation
Improved Updating functionality
Dashboard sign in forgot password (additional corner cases)
Some Issues now addressed:
Fixed: MBAM consumes all RAM if a scan scheduled to time of DST adjusting
Fixed: MWAC BSOD with Pulse Secure VPN
Fixed: Websites are still blocked using excluded browser when Barracuda Content Shield is installed
Fixed: Scheduled scan changes are not read correctly by Narrator until UI restart
Fixed: Can not set password with backslash (\) or double quotes (") in Forgot Password Wizard
Fixed: Several Upgrade Issues that occur under certain circumstances
I did not see this RAM feasting by MB, but do note that MB Premium (real time) is the biggest consumer of RAM on all my Win 10 PCs. About 250MBs of RAM used by MB service. (Compared to Windows Defender service, which uses about 150 MB if it is activated). On PCs with 8-16 GB of RAM, the effect is negligible. These numbers did not change when I upgraded MB to 1.0.1236.
Then again, it appears the RAM problem was associated with a MB scheduled scan that conflicted with the DST change. This is a good example of unintended consequences. FWIW I never schedule any MB scans.
But I was interested to learn that Malwarebytes is the hungriest of RAM consumers, at least on my PCs ...
