    It seems that the new version of WSA, v8.0.4.24 is not blocking mbae.dll to be loaded into chrome anymore. At least on my PC

    We've had reports of MBAE + EMET 4.0 with Deep Hooks enabled resulting in browsers not launching. Does anybody have this configuration who can confirm or deny this behavior?

    Thanks for the tip @Windows_Security. I guess we'll have to dedicate some more time to do in-depth compatibility testing with EMET4.

    It seems that it only happens when I set chrome://chrome/ as the starting page. I use to do this so that chrome search for updates every time that I open it. With a normal internet page as my starting page I don't get alerts for now.

    Has anybody tried the crypto locker infected websites and pdf against MBAE or EMET . It seems the virus uses vulnerabilities in PDF and Browsers.

    Wasn't the supposed pdf actually a file like *.pdf.exe that looked like a *.pdf file because of Windows' option to hide known filename extensions?

    Some websites are being used, it is shown in the video explanation of crypto guard. Only visiting a website may be harmful also, this is where anti exploit should jump in.

    I know that, but I was explicitly referring to the PDF scenario you mentioned.

    The amount of time taken by MBAE to reply indicates bad news.

    It could just as well mean that pbust just hasn't had the time to check in on this thread since you have asked your question.

    They are actually very quick to tell about MBAE capabilities and till now they have not mentioned about it, so I had to ask it. I also wanted to know if EMET is stopping it. Is there any expert here who can test it.

    Sorry I didn't know that question was meant for me. It looked more like an open question.

    What specifically are you asking here? Do you have some samples of exploit URLs to test against? If so please send them to me or somehow specify what you want. If these URLs use exploits then the answer is yes, MBAE should detect and block these exploit sites.

    I do not have URLs but I think there is a person from hitman pro team in this forum. If you message him he will provide you with the url of the affected website.

    Sorry, no time to go hunting for some specific URL from someone, somewhere.

    We test MBAE against thousands of exploit URLs every day and are well aware of its capabilities. Whatever specific threat you are talking about, if it uses exploits to drive-by install itself, chances are we block it.

    More info from our real-time feed of new, unique, blocked exploit payloads:

    Why don't you do it yourself?

    MBAE still blocks Hitman Pro Alert, will this be fixed in the next version?

    To ZeroVulnLabs

    Malwarebytes anti Exploit does not seem to protect Foxit PhantomPDF, at least in the logs it does not say "Foxit PhantomPDF is now protected". Its a business edition of Foxit Reader.

    As far as im aware Anti Exploit protects Foxit Reader, would you be adding support for Foxit PhantomPDF any time?

    Are the Maxthon and Comodo Dragon Browser going to be shielded in the future.
