Most excellent, feedback on the new build goes Here

 

Thanks

 

Updated, just 4 more snapshots to go in my rotation.

 

Good info, thanks!

 

Thanks for update I have updated my backup copy.

 

I always keep previous builds of software such as this in the event a previous build nees to be re-installed.

 

Thanks

 

I don't understand why reboot is required ??
It's a on demand scanner FFS !

 

In my case it only asked me to reboot on the pc where I have the real-time module enabled.
On the other boxes with the freebie just downloaded, installed, and updated. No reboot required whatsoever. Running WinXP Pro SP3.

 

I'm running Windows7 Ultimate, updated from 1.50.0 , no real-time module was enabled , ever.
It asked me to reboot after updating.
Kinda weird, I mean there are numerous security suites with firewall, AV and all kinds of resident modules, and they are not requiring reboot (Norton for example)
In this case, I really can't find the reason for that.

 

Free version required a reboot on my XP Pro SP3 system.
I don't think it required it on 1.5 but I may be mistaken about that...

 

Update went fine no issues no system reboot required here.

Now if only Fedora would adopt the MS software numbering system.

 

I can confirm this exact same behaviour on Vista Home Basic x86. Free version asked to reboot after update from 1.50.0. Weird indeed. UAC enabled. But as I stated on my previous post, on WinXP Pro SP3 everything went smooth...

 

Yes, it also required a reboot on both Windows Vista and 7, both x86.

 

Even if its on demand there are still services that are started with Windows and drivers that load with the system. Without restarting, Windows cant replace those critical files.

 

That they don't ask for it doesn't mean that they don't need it to load the updated files/modules/drivers. They just don't bother the user and still do it when rebooting. Same is after the installation of some security suites/sofware, they might work without rebooting but to fully load all protection it will still need to reboot.

 

They need a reboot (at least, Norton does) when installing a program update, though.

I did not need a reboot.

 

Not to plug FileHippo, JR, that is a good site for previous and current versions. Thanks for the link

 

You're most welcome, always happy to spread a good word on software that offers layered protection, MBAM is part of my arsenal.

 

nice program

 

Ça me fais plaisir, mon ami
