Latest Version of Malwarebytes

[Lady Fitzgerald]

Minor update released today. You will get a notification through Updates. Ver 2.0.1.1004. Mostly just cosmetic.

https://forums.malwarebytes.org/inde...58#entry813572

In about 2-3 weeks we're going to release yet another patch that will fix about ~30 bugs that have been reported or we've discovered. We wanted to make sure the UI issues were addressed first since we had some really great feedback from everyone.

To get the update, please download it from our website, or if you're already running 2.0, just check for updates. Starting Monday, we will start slowly migrating 1.75 users to 2.0; this is currently disabled. If you do not wish to participate, please make sure you've disabled the program updates on the Update Settings tab in 1.75.

Jim

Thanks for that heads up. I had to check to make sure but I already have updates set to notify only.

It still hangs for me on those W7 sample images.
Process Monitor shows no activity during the hang.
Task Manager shows I/O Other bytes flowing.
(Perhaps just moving the animation. I don't understand "Other".)

Thank you Bill. First post updated.

Ooops, looked for a thread, and didn't see it . Thanks Shawn Still hangs for several seconds during full scan, but so far it doesn't slow me down like it 1st did. A Guy

Edit: Spoke to soon, BSOD on full scan again

The hang that I'm testing uses these settings:



Have you tried that?

Hove you tried that?

I'll uncheck that and see if it helps. Going to bed and will let it scan as I sleep. Last time I did that awoke to the BSOD. A Guy

The installation and scan setup:




Notice the periods where mbam does nothing:




20+ minutes with no activity:



More than an hour later and there has been no progress on that image...
...or the hang/freeze is permanent.
edit: it did eventually continue.


The W7 Virtualbox VM has 2 of the host's 8 GB.




edit: I added a tiny portion of the 3GB Process Monitor log. This portion starts one event prior to mbam scanning img28 and ends at an arbitrary time designed to make the file small enough to upload/post. It looks like (and the 3rd video kind of shows) that mbam completes its processing of img28 (and other images) but the display does not show those items being processed. mbam clearly hangs for quite some time, but the "img28 file" being displayed is not the one currently being worked on when the hang happens. You can see this in the Process Monitor log. (I do realize that having Process Monitor running slows down mbab, but these hangs happens without Process Monitor or Task Manager running.)

Well if it is the one I ma thinking of Gary I have not had a reply yet so am still none the wiser as to whether I can transfer the full lifetime version I have on my tester to my main machine.
The problem was that up until recently Kaspersky and MBAM used to clash a bit hence putting it on my tester in case the problem still existed when I activated it again.

I am not up for paying each year for it and am disappointed that offer from Newegg wasn't repeated elsewhere even from MBAM itself:sarc:

Hum see that link shows up now it didn't in Gary's post.

John, I thought someone posted a way for you to transfer it from one machine to another. Newegg has made a special deal outside of MBAM. Check your local people, maybe one of them has it for a lower price as well. If you have a lifetime license you don't have to pay again. You should buy one for each machine you have, the lifetime is good for only one machine.

Yes, here it is
https://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/entries/25291497-How-do-I-uninstall-Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware-

Using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware uninstall tool
Our special uninstall tool, mbam-clean.exe, was created to completely remove all traces of the program from your computer. This can be useful if you need to remove your product ID and Key from one computer to register the program on a new computer or if you're having trouble with the program, as often a clean uninstall and reinstall of the software will correct many common problems.

To use the utility:

• Download and run mbam-clean.exe from here.
• Restart your computer when prompted.

Well MBAM sucks as far as I am concerned I just tried that link and it will not send the offer to Australia - WELL DONE MBAM!!

 

[Britton30]

How did you get the first time John?

What David said ^

 

[DavidE]

Anyone know how long v1.75 will be supported with database updates? I am strongly considering a roll back.

An MBAM Staff person says probably a year or less for V1 support:

The vendor in David's link also sells in AUD too.
Uncheck the extended download insurance, or that will make you mad too.

Thank you Bill. First post updated.

For anyone needing the Ver. 1.75 installer it can be downloaded from FileHippo:

Shawn,
What do you think of adding this "Older version" link to page one for folks that have issues with Ver. 2 and want to go back to Ver. 1.75?

Thanks, David

Maybe I missed this, but does the free version 2.xx also cause freezes, or just the Pro (paid) version?
