Latest Version of Malwarebytes

[andrew129260]

OR you just got their latest stable version.

I think that is way more likely.

I miss the old program...........very much.......Simple lightweight and effective.

New version is bloated and buggy as ****** stars.

I like the new version but it's the first time I have used the Pro version. Very tunable to my likes.

I'm using the latest V2 version and it's working well for me.
I just ordered another Lifetime license in case I need it.
There are some still available :shock:

Hmm thought the offer had run out as I have it on two machines and would like to get it onto my laptop. So is the offer still through the official site or a mirror?

Maybe there are some still available.
I bought from the egg because I have an account...and I'm in US.

Thanks David I found a discounted lifetime Pro here https://www.antivirussales.com/ and a nice discount it was - running the first scan so should be interesting.

Thanks for the tip off

PS some other nice gear in there too.

You're welcome and glad that helped.
From what I found in that site it looks like the Lifetime license can still be had for ~20$ !

I was surprised to find any are still available anywhere ...

Nice find!
We're both testing Win 8 now and I'm also testing it in a VM to decide if I want to move my licensed copy.
I installed Ad-Aware AV (free) yesterday in the 8.1 VM to test drive it.
That AV is not listed in the report you linked, so now I have to install MBAM real-time to make sure it's compatible.

Yep that site was just so easy to use and if my memory is correct there are still 650 - odd licences to be had so I just might slip it in my Sandy Brigde too.

Mbam is fairly compatible and the opening paragraph on the PDF states that it is a partial list.
I'm sure Ad-Aware will work fine SxS Mabam - I'm fairly certain that I just read a post on the Mbam forums asking about Ad-aware and the answer was in the affirmative. But my memory ain't so good any more.

Man, you are way ahead of me. I'm still messing with colors - lol.

Here's the link for MBAM at Anti Virus Sales. It's a PITA to find it.

process usage

Forgive me if this was addressed already, but there are like 50 pages to this thread and I did not want to read them all, but has anyone noticed that the new version of malwarebytes pro/premium uses more than triple the amount of processor resources than the previous version. For me, the previous version ran at like 3,000k, the new version between 20-30,000k. What is up with that?

 

[Britton30]

I think you mean memory resources, CPU is measured in threads and processor time, which for me is zero ATM.

Here is what MBAM is using on my system, much more than 30K. MBAE is their Anti-Exploit Beta.

Britton I just mean when I hit control/alt/delete, bring up task manager, and then click the process tab, it shows mbam.exe running at about 19,000k right now, with the old version of malwarebytes, if I did the same thing it would show it running at between 3,000-4,000k. Yes I'm sure I used the wrong terminology before, but do you understand what I am saying? And do you know why this is?

The new version has new items included, a rookit scan program and also Chameleon which protects Malwarebytes.

Ahhh, I did not realize that. Makes sense, there is more going on inside the program so it requires a little bit more juice to run. I get it. I do not know anything about Chameleon, but I have heard a lot of good things, was not even aware I had it. Thanks for the info. Phone Man.
