Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit

No, not correct. It only protects the applications that are specifically shielded (pre-determined + custom shields)

If you're looking for completely free exploit protection I think this is a good combo. But also keep in mind that for ex EMET won't protect against a kernel exploit like Duqu (Word) whereas at least MBAE will prevent the payload from executing via its Layer3 protection in those cases.

I don't think this is very accurate as those EMET mitigations are per-application rather than OS-wide.

 

DEP, SEHOP and ASLR are there even without EMET.

 

Thank you.

AFAIK at least DEP is stronger with EMET.

 

Is this a secret version?

Why is not mentioned in official Release History for all Malwarebytes products?

Hello anon,

My guess would be since Pedro released the new version on 05 September 2014 at 10:31 PM, that whomever maintains the two links you posted were already home for the weekend. I assume they will update those links on Monday once they are back in the office. Just a guess on my part but IMHO probably the case... HTH...

 

This is what I'm waiting on as well. I think that once this is both implemented, and ironed out to the point I see people commenting that all is well, that will be the time to invest in this product for me.

To ZVL... please ensure compatibility for SBIE v3.76 as well as v4, as many (including myself) are still using it. It's the last build of v3 and works very well. Many had problems when trying to upgrade to v4.

Thanks

 

Someone mentioned that the new version is compatible with HPA, in my case I still have compatibility issues (internet connection lost)
W8 x64 latest version of HPA and MBAE

 

Today my MBAE PRO automatically updated to 1.04.1.1012. It took me a couple of reboots because I forgot to put AppGuard into install mode. Also forgot to disable my antiexecutable. Then I discovered that MBAE apparently updates a driver so the install got killed by Driver Radar.

It's always *lots of fun* when my security apps start messing with my head. I wish MBAE's update alert would include a reminder, such as: "Hey dummy, don't forget to turn off other apps that might conflict."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

P.S. The "automaticity" of MBAE's update precludes my downloading the new version so that I can scan it for nasties. Of course a valid MBAE update would not contain nasties. BUT -- would it be possible for a bad guy to initiate a seemingly valid (but infected) MBAE update, thereby by-passing my scan & other security checks?

 

Thanks for the confirmation bellqamin. We're throttling the upgrades starting today to make sure everything is OK.

Other than the block by your Anti-EXE and DriverRadar, did the MBAE upgrade happen OK? Did it ask you to reboot or did it complete without an upgrade?

 

MBAE installed just fine -- steaming steady & straight. Reboot was not needed.

 

Haven't gotten my new version yet -- only thing that has changed for me is that I can't open menu using the tray icon

 

I currently have the Premium version installed. Is it possible to do a manual update to v1.04. If so, how?

 

Will it just install over the top of 1.03?

 

Yes, you can simply run the installer and it will upgrade whichever MBAE version you have to the latest 1.04.

 

MBAE auto upgraded yesterday. No need to reboot and no problems so far. XP32, SP 3.

 

I've just installed a bunch of Windows updates and IE borked. Error message 0xc0000018 and wouldn't launch. Turns out it was MBAE. It's happened before.

Anyway, I've removed MBAE and will take a look at the newest release. The issue has probably been addressed in the new version. Could be that I just needed to update it.

Running AppGuard too, so it may be the same thing Bellgamin experienced. I can't remember if the free version auto-updates or not.

Edit: Ha! Installed 1.04.1.1012 and IE is peachy. Good stuff.

 

Cool thanks for confirming!

 

I have 1.04 Free and it looks like it has a Counter for the number of times it has Shielded a App so far. My counter is up to 368 now.

 

Yes, Known Issue #1:
https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/135127-known-issues-conflicts/

We'll be fixing this for the next build.

 

The old tray icon bug survived in Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium 1.04.1.1012: rarely after a reboot there is no MBAE icon in the tray, until next reboot; and today system booted and i see two MBAE icons in the tray!

 

Not sure I understand correctly. So does the traybar icon show up correctly or not?

Please check to see if you have an MBAE entry in your TaskScheduler. It might be a left-over from an incomplete uninstall of an older MBAE beta.

 

Launch of Chrome took relatively long with MBAE 1.04, Launch of IE took even longer with EMET 5. Consequative program launches measured with Passmarks's Apptimer. Could some of the group policy settings have impact on dll-injection (I had also a ADM template installed for Chrome)?

 

How big a difference are you seeing between bare Chrome/IE and when adding MBAE/EMET?
