Hey FAH@home forum! So starting at about last night, the client could not connect and I cannot fold.
I am on a private wireless network and have online access. Local host: 127.0.0.1 port 36330. The entire page of FAH control under the status tab is grayed out, and I can only press the 5 buttons on the top left side of FAH Control. I also have Malwarebytes. Could that program be responsible for blocking FAH from running? Any ideas as to what could be causing FAH from not running?
Thanks guys!

Windows 7 Professional 64bit

Intel Duo Core T6400 @ 2.00Ghz 3G RAM

With the new 7.3.6 client there should be a link in your startup folder called Folding@Home. This is different than previous 7.x versions that used FAHControl to startup folding. If it isn't there, you should be able to copy & paste it from the FAHClient folder. FAHControl, as it is now, only monitors and if you feel comfortable with it then there is no need to remove it.

FAHClient is a background process that must be running for folding to process anything. If it's not already running (normally hidden) or if the connection to it is blocked by a firewall, FAHControl (or WebControl) will not be able to determine what's going on.
