The Chameleon is great I believe it lets people delete threats easily and lets MBAM run when blocked, small but useful update.

Thank you David. First post updated.

Several years ago I won the paid version of Malwarebytes and it always worked great. I have just updated to the most current version and find that the real time protection becomes disabled at each boot. I have restored Malwarebytes to the earlier version and it works fine, again. Might be a bug in the latest version. To all those that have the paid version,you may want to check that your real time protection is still enabled after boot.

Mine works fine in Windows 8. Have not tried windows 7 yet but will shortly.

Great, let me know. If yours works, I may update again.

I've updated a few Win 7 PC's with MBAM Pro to the new version and I haven't seen this problem.
I do see some people reporting the issue in the MBAM forum.

Here is one of those threads - post #8 is the post with suggestions to fix it.
Protection disabled in 1.65 - Malwarebytes Forum

I checked my updated version. I have a paid copy. After I restarted it did not start or show up in the notification area. As it turned out Win Patrol had blocked the startup. After I authorized it in Win Patrol, I restarted again and all is well.

 

[Phone Man]

I have now tested it on Windows 7 and it looks OK. The first time I booted it took a while before the tray icon appeared. It may be a little buggy as they now have 2 choices on the protection tab. File System Protection and Website Blocking. I have both checked.

Just tried mine, again, and same problem. I am going to use the prior version and then update again if they offer a fix or wait until the next version. Want to say thanks to all who took the time to help.

Hi Rich,
If you're interested, I noticed they put out a new BETA release for MBAM.

Issues Fixed:
• MBAMService start type now set correctly to Automatic on all systems
• Fixed a bug which did not start protection module with Windows on certain systems
• Fixed a bug which completed scans prematurely on certain systems

I do thank you, but those Betas can be a bigger problem than the one that I have. I really do appreciate you for telling me.

 

[DavidE]

No problem, at least you know something is in the works.

I just installed the Beta on a W7 x86 Test Box.
I installed over the top with MBAM, Avast, and WinPatrol running.
No errors installing, but the real-time MBAM protection became disabled.
I re-booted the PC and real-time MBAM protection is enabled, all is well so far...

I normally don't try BETA's for the same reason as you !

smart screen filter

hmmm - I get this on two different W7 pro systems:



I downloaded it via an XP box and uploaded it to virustotal.
https://www.virustotal.com/file/7d4...0c2bc4b80de552a2413637f3/analysis/1350719787/


So I went to filehippo and got/installed 1.65.0.1400. Upon updating that, I got 1.65.1.1000. One W7 system is running MSE, the other is a VM w/o any AV installed.

I'm not looking for a solution - I have the latest version now and am scanning the system.

 

[DavidE]

It looks like this a SmartScreen Filter false positive that was reported to MBAM.

I never knew that SmartScreen is site sensitive. It still fails from mwb site, but the same version works at filehippo.
