Does Malwarebytes interfere with the tasks in anyway???

(moderation:
Hi there,
Since I installed Malwarebytes on my PC quite a few of my tasks are not validating. I was wondering if there is a correlation between the two or not. The work units that are waiting validation are: 182640274, 182501082, 181839081 & 181425272. Were there any issues with these workloads? Or is there perhaps so other issue with my PC that I need to be on the look out for? The thing is I'm not at all techie or sciencey so I don't really have much of a clue when it comes to this sort of thing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chevy

Validation occurs when two computers return the same results.
Awaiting Validation does not mean anything has gone wrong, it just means your computer finished the WU before the other person. (Either you got it before them, or have a faster computer).
You can see that some people with the WU had timed out (not finished by the deadline, or crashed it (marked as error while computed, such as 181425272). Those get sent to new people, with a brand new deadline, so you get to wait.
Malwarebytes shouldn't interfere. The free version does not do any continuous scanning (some Antiviruses do get unhappy, so you might exempt the boinc folder for your AV).
