I installed a software named Malewarebytes' Anti-Malware. The software was working fine till last night. Today when I started the software I get the below mentioned error.

"Run-time error -'440': Automation error"
Kindly help me restore my software to previously working state.

Hi,
To fix the problem, do the following:
Runtime errors are caused by browser ad-ons in many cases. So, first of all delete all the ad-ons from your browser by going Tools and manage ad-ons.
Secondly, run a complete virus scan to remove all malwares from your computer.
Last of all, you have to remember Runtime Error 440 means your Windows registry. Whenever you install or uninstall a program, a signature' of that action gets registered in the Windows registry. So many combinations of records overlap each other, especially bad installation. It gives you a broken registry. So, try to keep your machine free from broken registry.
If you do all above mentioned tasks, you should have no problem.
