    @ZeroVulnLabs (pbust), I probably won't dump my other tools just yet, but what about life-time licences?

    As Marcin said:
    This applies to lifetime licenses as well. The MB3 installer will pick up your MBAM2x license and automatically apply it in MB3. including lifetime licenses.

    Installed on my Windows 10 AU test system running Bitdefender Free, MBAE Free, Defender Periodic Scanning.

    MBAE tray icon vanished during the install. Other than that, the uninstall was silent.

    I think the beta period will be a bit longer than 13 days. ;)

    • Will there be, say, a 6 month license or something for testers?

    • Should mbamservice.exe have a persistent 443 connect? In my case to amazonaws.

    I'm reluctant to plug in one of my lifetime MBAM licenses (none currently in use) into a beta product.

    Recommended Threat Scan of 358,544 items took 00:01:47. 00:00:37, 2,304 items for Hyper.

    Here's the Information text from the installer; note the setup executable is 3.0.2.1175

    @ZeroVulnLabs :
    Will Malwarebytes 3.0 come in a box, for German retailers?

    I agree, RAM usage is high, hopefully they'll do something about that.

    We're improving ram usage. But how is the perceived impact on performance? Are you experiencing non-responsiveness or general slowness?

    Feel free to use your lifetime license key. MB3 will respect it, both in beta and after general release :)

    Don't know what the Sales & Marketing team will do there. We'll have to wait and see.

    I haven't been running MBAM for awhile. It seems I just didn't feel the need, what with other security protections I have on my system. Anyhow, I manually started MBAM, and it indicated there was an update available, so I allowed it. I am now running version 2.1.8.1057...

    Presumably MBAE will eventually cease to be an independent program? If so would I have to install (and pay for) the full Malwarebytes and just turn off the protection that I didn't need or might there still be an independent, and light on resources, MBAE?

    Apparently, there is another updated version that is available, subsequently. I really am out of touch with what is happening with MBAM. ;)

    That's an old version too.

    You should be using 2.2.1.1043 (release version).

    It will continue to exist as a standalone free product. More details on that to follow.

    I just tried the new beta. CPU use was very high when running a scan, peaking at 90% (I even had all realtime protection disabled). When running a Threat Scan, it froze after about half an hour, and remained stuck on scanning one file. When the scan had progressed no further after 5 minutes, I tried to cancel the scan, but was unable to.

    @roger_m, can you send me your mbamservice.log from the ProgramData directory?

    Actually, I had already uninstalled MBAM. However, I just reinstalled it and am running another scan.

    After upgrading from v2.2 premium to v3.0, it became a free version & I was unable to key in my lifetime license.

    Already requested support to reset my license.

    This time it wants a restart to get to version 2.2.1043. Go figure!
