Malwarebytes 1.60 beta

I don't know that there's a clear line between viruses and malware, but I believe MBAM is technically an antimalware not an antivirus, and is meant to be used alongside a traditional AV.

 

MBAM is not an antivirus replacement, it is meant to complement a traditional antivirus program.

 

The class and distinction of AVs and AMs has undoubtedly blurred.

I believe that MBAM is supposed to supplement a traditional AV or other defense product (HIPS, DefenseWall...).

MBAM amazingly has been tested against traditional AVs and has beaten some straight-up.

And that's the amazing thing about the product.

It is a 'supplemental product' that does better than some of the systems it is supposed to supplement.

At hacker conferences, for awhile, hackers bragged mostly about being able to defeat Kaspersky. Now they have added MBAM as a 'bragging rights' defeat.

That says a lot.

 

mbam is a must

 

I no this is about MBAM, but EMSISOFT claims it can block virus as well if you look at there FAG on there website.Perhaps a wrong statement for MBAM but not according to EMSISOFT Antimalware.

 

I misunderstood, thought you were talking about MBAM.

 

Actually I thought if Emsisoft can block some virus then I was thinking perhaps its possiable that MBAM can.Thanks for your correction and last thing I want to do is mislead anyone.

 

Does Emsisoft have to engines or one.

 

I believe it can......
But it also is not a full blown AV.

Wow killer malware combo in sig.

 

djohn and behabiour blocker in paranoid mode

 

Have you noticed an enhancement on the speed scan ?

 

Two engines. Ikarus and their in-house engine.

You meant behavior blocker right J? LOL J are you paranoid?

 

yeap

 

OK that explains why it combats virus and malware.Thanks

 

Maybe if we stay in paranoid mode and keep changing or adding software we will drive the bad guys mental.

 

LOL. I hear the psycho ward calling

No Problem.

Sounds like you J. Why don't you add HIPS to your BB paranoid mode? You will be really cooking then

 

New beta just released 1.60.0.1600. Database downloads is now working.

"Build 1.60.0.1600 will download when you check for updates if you're using the current beta build (1.60.0.1400) and if you have the default option Download and install program update if available checked under Updater Settings."

 

Just downloaded nice amd smooth.Thanks

 

run time error for me on windows 7 64 bit

 

Same here, XP SP3

 

Suggestion: run mbamclean.exe and install beta again. It should update to the new verion 1600 as well as the defs to 2011.12.23.06 or newer.

Also keep in mind this is a beta!

 

No luck. I guess i'll wait for the stable release

 

Have you noticed an enhancement on the speed scan ?

Thanks in advance !
