    Have been watching this thread. Noticed that Cutting_Edgetech went to bat on the Malwarebytes forums to advance resolution of the Word bug. That now seems to be resolved by Arthi to the benefit of all (in version 288 ) . Thanks Cutting_Edgetech.
    This version 1.13.1.288 could be a real keeper!

    cheers

    No problem Feandur! They resolved one of the bugs I was having with Word, but there is at least one more false positive that I am experiencing with Word. If I decide not to save a document or not to save changes made to a document when closing word, then it will trigger MBAE.

    Thanks Cutting_Edgetech. :)

    Also just noticed that a french poster (johnnycollet) identified (Wednesday) another bug with the promise from exile360:

    Hopefully, two fixes coming up.

    Thanks.

    Hi, guys. I searched quite a bit for some user experience of combining MBAE with ESET AV (not ESS) on Windows 7 but couldn't find anything conclusive. Can anyone share his experience.
    Thank you.

    I run Win7 and have run MBAE with trial versions of ESET & dozens of different AVs (I like to try apps out). Never a problem.

    OMG, what a nightmare. On a 1920x1080 resolution the GUI looks blurry and when changing DPI settings it looks very small, you would expect better from a company like Malwarebytes. Also, strangely enough no standard support for Vivaldi and still no sorting options.

    It's a beta.

    Malwarebytes surely appreciates your involvement in their testing program for Malwarebytes for Windows. That free beta testing program being what they announced in no uncertain terms back when they stiffed those who paid for Anti-Exploit Premium.

    I'm sorry about your problem. I hope Malwarebytes will fix it soon.

    It's sharp as a tack on my 14" laptop, as shown above in its actual size. As @Surt indicated, the MBAE freebies are all betas. Keeping the betas as freebies is how Malwarebytes kept their promise to users of this app before it was taken over by them. Their MBAE betas very VERY rarely have bugs.

    They will probably not fix it, because I just realize that anti-exploit is also a component in Malwarebytes AV, so they use MBAE to test new features, like Surt said. But I'm guessing that you have a low resolution on your 14 inch laptop, is this correct? The problem that I'm complaining about is explained in the link, certain apps will either look blurry or too small on 1920x1080 resolutions with a scale of 150%. Sometimes you can fix it by manually changing DPI settings, so both Win 10 and app developers are to blame.

    The efficacy of MBAE is without question, which is why I continue to use it. My post #3988 was in no way meant to demean that.

    As for Premium users being stiffed, I should report that after a strongly worded email in 2016, Malwarebytes did refund me a pro-rated amount I calculated to be owed based on the time remaining. About $12.00. I know, peanuts, but its the principle of the thing. But I wonder how many Premium users took that route.

    Though functionally ineffective, just for grins I still "validate" my license. Yes, it does connect to their server in that process.

    As in all betas, it's use at your risk. And you get what it is and what it is is what you get. You are 1) testing improved core mission components of their anti-exploit tech before integration into their premium product and 2) finding bugs. That was as the understanding about five years ago, so no one can be expected to know/remember that specifically; the beta is that good. Therefore, I don't agree that any promise was kept to the free users or the Premium customers of the then stable releases.

    There should be no expectation Malwarebytes will jazz up that MBAE user interface or feature enrich its user experience. Though it would be nice...

    Yes, quite a bit lower. I need icons etc to be large, because of my poor vision & the laptop's small screen. Lower resolution enlarges things. :D

    Do you also use a DPI scale of 150%? If you're using a scale of 100% then the GUI will look crisp but very small, but this is normal since it's a 1920x1080 resolution. But apps are also supposed to look crisp with a scale of 150%, and that's the problem. I also saw it with apps like Privacy Eraser and MSI AfterBurner.

    Don't forget that Apple MacBooks also have a very high resolution, but I'm guessing you can simply use a higher DPI scale without any of the problems that I see on Win 10.

    I have decided to give MBAE a try again since HMPA isn't ready for primetime yet on my machine. And so far I'm not having any problems and I was able to fix the DPI issue with the "System Enchanced" setting. I also figured out that you can add processes like vivaldi.exe to the protection list. All in all not that bad, I'm actually surprised that they are still offering this tool for free. And to clarify, at the moment I did stop using Sandboxie for browser protection, because I know it might not play well with anti-exploit tools like MBAE and HMPA.

    to mention: windows 10 defender already owns an anti-exploit module.
