Until this version, I had no issue with it, unless the beta expired. Other then that it worked fine with my Comodo firewall. That isn't the issue. Now when surfing Nine Forums in Opera, it closes Opera and announces it blocked an exploit. A Guy

Thanks for confirming that there's no longer a problem with Anti Exploit working alongside Comodo Firewall. I've just decided to install it again and it works fine with Opera - even on forums.

I haven't been able to reproduce your error but will try removal of Anti Exploit then a reinstall.

Interestingly I've discovered that it works with and protects Opera 64bit but doesn't detect when Cyberfox 64 bit browser is launched and there's no Cyberfox protection.

Hi,

I uninstalled Anti Exploit and rebooted then checked for leftovers. It uninstalled cleanly. Then I reinstalled and still no problems. Checked EMET configuration and found no issues there.

It seems that several Opera users are reporting the same problem. If it was happening on my machine I might try disabling Anti Exploit (right click the icon in the system tray and choose "Stop Protection" or "Exit") so that I could launch Opera then try disabling any Opera add ons by typing:

opera:plugins

into the address bar and disabling any plugins.

Then disable extensions: Ctrl+Shift+E

Just to check if these are the possible cause although it seems unlikely.

Then exit Opera and re-enable Anti Exploit and try launching Opera once more. If it still doesn't launch it would mean reversing all of the above!

EDIT: After further Opera usage - it crashed when attempting to view a video embedded on a forum. Exited Anti-Exploit and restarted Opera. The video plays.

It's something the Malwarebytes team need to fix.

I have Hitman Pro Alert also, but removing it made no difference. I don't have any extra plugins beyond Flash and Shockwave. It's an Anti-Exploit issue for me. If it doesn't work with Opera as is, as it has before, I won't change Opera to use it. Either they fix it, or I don't use it. A Guy

Hi,

New version released Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit 0.10.0.1000 with some fixes including the Opera crash issue if using Opera12 64bit (That's the version that I use). It now runs as a service. Couldn't find an easy way to shut it down. Had to kill the process and stop the service.

Installed and tested - worked with no crashes. Still doesn't support Cyberfox 64 bit and for that reason I uninstalled MBAE.

   Note

Edit: (May 2015)

Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Added Support for Cyberfox. In addition to the main browsers, MBAE Free now also protects Maxthon, Seamonkey, Palemoon, IceDragon, Cyberfox, Tor Browser Bundle, Waterfox and some others.

Uninstall leaves a couple of folders and files behind. Stopped the service and deleted it manually.


New features:

• New architecture runs MBAE as a Windows Service.
• New architecture runs MBAE in multi-user environments.
• New architecture prevents non-admin users from stopping protection.
• New architecture prevents non-admin users from managing exclusions.
• New architecture prevents non-admin users from clearing logs.
• New location for logs and auxiliary files under %AllUsersProfile%.
• New installer handles hot-upgrades to new MBAE versions.
• New installer completely uninstalls MBAE program files.
• Improved Start/Stop buttons have been unified into a single toggle button.
• Improved uninjection technique prevents crashes under certain conditions.
• Improved and less intrusive beta expiration messages.
• Improved GUI details.
• Fixed problem with traybar icon sometimes disappearing.
• Fixed problem when double-clicking on Desktop shortcut icon.
• Fixed an injection hook issue.
• Fixed an issue displaying Flash content under Opera12 x64.

Thanks Callender. Funny, I just checked for update 2 days ago after a long time. Bad timing I guess :)
