Updated here

 

Download: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

 

Install over top, or uninstall old version first?
What's the recommendation from MBAM?

 

I always do a clean install! and for BETA testers I recommend it for sure

 

then restart..

or right click on MBAM tray > check for updates > done

running smooths so far

 

It should just update over top. Let us know if you experience issues though.

 

When I went to update MBAM today and clicked on the updates tab it said there was a new version and launched the update process. So it looks like thats how they expect most people to do it.

 

I did an install over-top, that way your ignore list | quarantined files | saved scan logs are maintained.

 

what's the new database update size ?........

 

I should have listened to you.
I updated over top on two XP machines and both installs went bad... problems with mbamservice.exe and mbamcore.exe.
I uninstalled and reinstalled.
Okay now.

By the way, regarding this new feature...
Ability to password protect key program settings (paid version only)...
where the heck is it?
I have two licenses, both programs are registered, but I can't find this new feature.

 

Have a look at this post: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=103131&view=findpost&p=510069 or just look under settings!

It's in the Settings tab (the new Set Password button) .

 

Sorry Samuel I didn't see your post when I was taking a snapshot!

Thanks TH & Sam.
I'm a little bit embarrassed.
When I read the new feature description...
Ability to password protect key program settings
I misunderstood that to mean that I could password protect key programs on my system, like other security tools.
I realize now how dumb that was of me to think that, but I was looking for a browse function on the password set feature!
Duh.

 

oh darn!.......installed the new version.......but still having the same old ip protection problem........mbam support said the new program code might resolve the prob....but to no avail..............and now they don't reply to my support ticket anymore.........guess I annoyed Mr. Tom Mercedo enough with the ip protection prob......

 

Thanks for letting me know. I'm getting our Support team to look into this for you.

 

No worries

 

thx a lot .....Support ticket# 198354

 

Excellent, thanks . Given the nature of the issue, they may have you work directly with one of the members of our QA (Quality Assurance) team so that they can attempt to find the cause of the issue and replicate it themselves (hopefully so that they can assist the developers to get it fixed, assuming it's an issue with our code somewhere).

 

how's the ram usage guys? )

 

ah! what a relief........thx again .........it's been almost over a month now that I've reported it to mbam support........oh and I'm on win xp sp3 and only have wsa sandboxie mbam and secunia psi on-access/realtime as the third party software..........
