Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Updates

Thanks. Installed through Malwarebytes. Maybe not what I desired and asked for regarding clearing Protection History but it's better than nothing. No longer see files scanned just Real-time Protection detections and Scan detections.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Malwarebytes 3.5

 

I just updated MB to 3.5.1 on one machine. The GUI looks dumbed down to me. Resizing it still doesn't stick after closing.

Oh well, I don't care much about the GUI but I certainly hope they lift their game as far as protecting a machine goes.

 

+1

 

anon thank you!!

 

that was fast from closed beta to final.

Moments ago we have released a new components package upgrade: v1.0.374

 

Seems that these "moments" never came.
The package upgrade v.1.0.374 not released yet.

mb3-setup-consumer-3.5.1.2522-1.0.365-1.0.5354.exe

1.0.365...…..

 

They must be rolling it out gradually; it was there immediately for me when I clicked the install application updates button.

 

Via the program's auto update (Install Application Updates), maybe.

But the manual installer? See my post above, the installer still says: 3.5.1.2522-1.0.365-1.0.5354

 

Why does it matter that they haven't updated the installer yet? The program installs updates automatically as part of the installation process.

 

I'm on 1.0.365 and I can't get the 1.0.374, that's why.

a) via auto update= I have to wait because "the rolling it out gradually"
b) via manual update = Not possible, installer not updated yet.

 

Did you try clicking "install application updates" on the Application tab? I just tried it on one of my laptops and received the new component package.

 

'No updates are available' here as well (from 1.0.365).

Edit: Got it, 3 hours later.

 

OK; sounds like a question for Malwarebytes support. I don't know if any of this is helpful:

Yes (yesterday, today, again and again) = 'No updates are available'

 

Just got the update

 

I received it manually on three machines before I posted above.

 

I had an infection today, for sure, but Avast couldn't find it. I installed a trial version of MBAM Premium & it DID find the infection plus a slew of PUPs. MBAM put the nasties in quarantine & told me to reboot. I did. MBAM again told me to reboot. I did. Then MBAM told me yet a 3rd time to reboot, so I ignored that instruction, went to MBAM's quarantine locker, & deleted all the bad stuff. Then I uninstalled MBAM.

So MBAM solved a problem for me & I would buy it except for the reboot problem, which indicates some sort of instability.

I could find no support click spot on MBAM's website so I am dead-ended.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Maybe it was persistent infection, that Malwarebytes had trouble removing. But, most likely it's a bug.

 

@bellgamin avoid AVs they are useless and bloated with crap, time to move to real security, anti-exe or SRP or sandbox, etc... but you have a learning curve to achieve.
