Latest Version of Malwarebytes

[Lady Fitzgerald]

Methinks I will wait a bit before upgrading until I see how it works for people.

I'm on a system right now with the V 2.0 RC1, and it doesn't show an update available.
Wonder if this is the final or I'll need to update the program.
Nothing on the MBAM forum about this yet...

Found the info in their News forum.
The RC1 version is the final prod release for 2.0

For those that were Beta testing and have 2.00.0.1000 RC-1 the final release is identical per MBAM. I also compared the hash on the install files and they are the same. Here is a list of the Known Issues:

The Scan names have changed:

1.75 ------------------ 2.0

Flash Scan ---------- Hyper Scan
Quick Scan --------- Thread Scan
Full Scan ----------- Custom Scan

A rootkit scan option has been added to all these scans but is off by default. There is a problem running the Custom Scan with rootkit selected as it can hang and lock up MBAM. The other scans work great with rootkit option selected.

Also on the Advance Settings if you click on Enable Self Protection Module it will take a few seconds for the click mark to show as it is turning on Charmeleon service and waiting for it to start.

I have been running it for the last 2 weeks on my 7 and 8.1 system and runs great.

I downloaded the pro version to replace the older pro version. I like the interface, the ease of operation and it seems a bit faster.

I thought the interface looked bloody awful, I think they got their GUI designer from one of the registry cleaner companies

I did like it, but I am slightly color blind. You do not want to know how I know I should stop when the light is red.

The same way I do, by the position of the light? If it is a flashing light that could be either red or yellow, I stop anyway.

 

[richc46]

LOL
I go by the position. Red on top or far left.

I think it's a lot better than the new W8 type interface.
Been helping someone setup a new W8 laptop, and I can't easily see where the edges of a window are ...
All I care is it works and I can easily find things.
I've been using V2 since the first Beta on one test system.

On my W7-64 test system I have Avast and MBAM Pro - both released new versions today.
That's my next challenge - think I'll update Avast before MBAM and go from there.

Red and yellow are the ones that can cause me problems. Green just looks white. I ran into horizontal lights only in El Paso and it's been almost 40 years since I was last through there.

I lived in Phoenix for 8 years in the 70s-80s!
I worked on Camelback Rd., near the interstate.
Is Lou Grubb Chevrolet still there?
Back then I had a HP auto parts business, and they were a customer and supplier.

Lou Grub passed away a while back and the Camelback location is no longer open.

I rolled back to v1.75.0.1300!

 

[andrew129260]

I hate the new interface, I like the old tried and true better.

Every **** program and webpage seems like it has to look like windows 8. Its awful.

Cnet changed their page and it looks like crap.

I am so sick of the 2 year old child like interface. Whats the point of having a good sized monitor when you have an interface that fills the whole screen for one word?

Not all of us are blind that we need everything giant.

Just an fyi...
There is no MBAM-Clean uninstall utility for Ver 2.0 yet (that I know of).
I would restore a System Backup Image from before updating to Ver 2.0, if I wanted to go back to Ver 1.75

 

[b0bl335wa993r]

Mine works well even after the update
