Just in case this helps someone else... I finally bit the bullet and went for the paid version of Malwarebytes instead of running the free version on occasion,
I first removed the old version just in case. Then followed the instructions in the MWB package and when the installation of the application started, it then stalled showing "Installing Package Scripts..." and the progress bar halfway along. I opened a ticket with MWB to find a resolution but got impatient and started reading the user forums on their website. One guy hit on a bizarre solution that worked for him. He changed his user logon icon from the large photo he has chosen and replaced it with one of the little Apple supplied emojis. I thought this was nuts, but then other users said that tip had fixed their similar issues also. So I gave it a whirl and changed my user account icon from the photo I have been using to an Apple supplied emoji and the progress bar instantly continued and the installation completed. And when I went to install MWB on my wife's MacBook Pro I had to do the same fix to get the installation to complete there too!
