Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware Beta

This is from the above linked page:

"In the case of ransomware, we are able to block it in four different layers:

• Most ransomware infects using exploit-based delivery mechanisms. In those cases the best protection is to have MBAE in order to proactively prevent the exploit from ever triggering, thereby blocking the infection chain at the earliest step possible before the malware even downloads to the victim computer.
• Some ransomware infect using non-exploit based social engineering tactics. For these types of infection vectors MBAM's behavioral patterns, heuristics and signatures is able to detect and block most known (and some zero-day) ransomware from every executing, thereby preventing the infection.
• If a ransomware is delivered via social engineering (or if the user does not have MBAE installed) and MBAM is not able to detect it via behavioral patterns, the MBAM Web Blocker most of the times will block the ransomware from downloading the encryption keys from its Command and Control (C&C) server, thereby preventing the encryption of the users' files.
• Finally, with Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware we now have a fourth and extremely last line of defense. If (a) the ransomware is delivered via social engineering tactics or the user does not have MBAE,(b) the MBAM behavioral rules do not detect it and (c ) the Web Blocker does not block access to the C&C, then the new Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware will detect the ransomware activity on the system and block and quarantine it before it is able to encrypt the users' files."

 

Running MBAM, MBAE along with Winantiransomeware Plus from Win Patrol. All paid versions. Will this beta work along with Win Patrol

THanks

 

Just tried installing this beta and it hung on this screen and froze up.

 

Personally, I would rather run a lot of individual apps that address particular specific threat rather than a 'catch all' monster which might turn into a 'suite' type app (all eggs in one basket scenario). I use Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit as well as Malwarebytes Anti Malware on demand to check files that I am downloading in Shadow Mode that maybe will reside on my pc. I use Avast Pro as my main anti-virus. I also use Sandboxie paid lifetime in all Shadow Defender modes (shadowed or not) and No Autorun to protect the usb. I use Keyscrambler Premium against loggers. In Firefox I use Adblock Plus and Secret Agent Sandboxed but set to no javascript and Secret Agent turned off by default before Sandboxing. This means that if I get to a page that requires Javascript, I quickly turn it on in the Sandboxed session and the same with Secret Agent. When I leave the Sandboxie session and 'Delete Sandbox' then I know that my browser will go back to those default settings of Javascript off.
I know it is not to everyone's taste but I would much prefer to do it this way than have one big app that does everything...and in a way, it's more fun

 

Sounds like your MBAxx-clean.exe Forum Deity fix-all paste will get real complicated.

Count me in on that. When all the eggs are in one basket, a cracked shell is inevitable.

That and I'm already on board with MBAM and MBAE Premiums.

 

First install program froze
Second install got the fix now screen
Third install and now it works but it blocked CCleaner Pro

When looking in Quarantine there is nothing there.

 

Report it here as a FP

Hello boredog:

I encourage you to report your findings as a MBARW False Positive (FP) by reading How to report a False Positive and start your own topic in Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware Beta.

Thank you for beta testing MBARW and your feedback.

 

Nothing in quarantine

 

Thank you daman1.

 

I don't think I can remember my old username password for that forum. Sorry

 

Hello boredog:

As you attempt a sign-n, please single-left-click "I've forgotten my password" and email will be sent to your address on record.

Or create a new account with your boredog Username here.

Thank you.

 

Ok I reset my password and posted at the forum. I guess I gave away my old username for here in doing so :-(

 

O second detection the file now shows up in quarantine

 

I have uploaded the three files.

 

Even the uninstall went bad. My system is not ready for this program in any way

 

Your system or something has problems, I have this on two PC's and not one issue so far, not even a FP.

 

@daman1
Have you tried Process Explorer yet? If not, please download it and see if it FPs for you. Thanks.

BTW, which Windows you're running?

 

Ok,,I'm running w7 and 10

 

Yup, has happened to me a number of times with a number of apps that I would class as legit.

I like it how your testing and beta releases are going fast. It's rather unusual sight. But I like it.

 

I think having MBAM as a stand-alone and combining MBAE and MBRW would make for a good combination. Like it or not Windows Defender is only getting better and the future may be to find products that compliment it instead of replacing it. We here may have our views on it but the average consumer is going to use WD and buying a product like a combo of MBAE and MBRW to add to it is a winning combo.

 

I had to unintall the Beta the other day, since it grabbed my Mozilla Thunderbird updater and put the latter inside quarantine. I could not restore Thunderbird updater at all. I finally had to re-install Thunderbird.
