The subject line of this thread refers to version 1.75. Nothing has changed on that version. If you're reporting inability to get updates on that version, I don't think we have anything to do with the issue you're reporting.

They use different philosophies. Anti-Malware goes after the payload (which I call WHAT) and Anti-Exploit goes after the method (my words again...HOW). Sometimes the WHAT can be tweaked too make finding it more difficult, but it still has to use the same HOW to do its dirty work. At the same time, Anti-Malware works across the board, while Anti-Exploit is targeted towards the most-common weak apps...the ones that are prone to vulnerabilities, and the ones that the bad guys like to take advantage of. I'd do both! Compared to the price that you end up paying if something does gets through, the price paid for the protection is cheap!

grandpa1948, Adding to what daledoc1 said, the count of shielded applications is incorrect. I've noted that myself. daledoc1 referenced the testing method in the post right above this one which allows you to see that WinAmp is shielded. Pedro will get it fixed (and soon)...he's very conscientious about his code.

An added comment, the topics which daledoc1 and I listed are one and the same. That is just two different ways to get to them.

As an older person, I think I can say no. The reason you didn't find your posts if because you likely looked under "Topics" and not "Posts'. You posted on someone else's Topic. Your posts are here: https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/150712-shielded-apps-counter-not-counting-a-protected-application/?view=findpost&p=842055 https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/150712-shielded-apps-counter-not-counting-a-protected-application/?view=findpost&p=842058 They are both in the same thread, and someone also responded to you on the same day.

If it keeps coming back, make sure that you hide it before doing Windows Updates. If it is not found on your computer when you do updates, Microsoft will add it back in UNLESS you have hidden it. You can right-click any update and hide it, but that also means that you must intervene in the update process rather than allowing it to update on its own.

Thanks for the info on how you fixed it. I'm taking your wording to mean non-server rather than non-Windows...just clarifying. I can't speak for the developers and plans which may or may not exist (but are definitely not public), but I would think the chances are slim. To be able to do it properly, it would have to be a boutique product. A smaller implementation with SQL Express could run on some versions of Windows 7, but not all versions of 7. A domain-based system would not run on 7 due to back-end server interactions. A larger implementation would need more threads to support the load than Windows 7 could provide. A full SQL Server install of the same machine on a larger implementation would bring the machine to its knees. There would need to be either one build that is so optimized (and rigidly tested) that it would take forever to get it out the door, or a number of different builds tailored to the environment it would be used in. Neither are really feasible if a rather simple set of requirements can be defined in the first place. As far as the environment itself goes, a smaller company supporting clients in a WORKGROUP environment is probably (in most cases) heading towards a domain environment over time as needs get more complex. In most cases, its probably a question of WHEN and not IF. Cloud services does make an argument in a workgroup's favor, but often performance and security issues related to cloud services make companies pull it back in-house. If the internet ever lives up to its promise, the cloud may be that ideal solution everyone's been looking for.

The business version is 1.75. The best I can say at this time is that it will "likely" be later this year. Schedules sometimes slip, so its not realistic to provide a date unless it is near enough that you know nothing can change that date. Promising either too much or too little can leave a bad taste in your mouth, if you know what I mean. Features need to be added to allow version 2 to function as a standalone version or as a managed client (using Management Console). I have not seen an upgrade in the managed version since I have been involved with Malwarebytes, so I do not know myself what the process will be. I wish I did. Was it the built-in admin password that allowed you to get the install done? If not, what was it? Others may read this and get their questions answered through your experience here.

You are trying to run a consumer version of a client anti-malware program on a server. Please check the specifications on the product. It is not supported on any server operating system.

The short answer to your question is yes. If you can send me your name and email address in a PRIVATE MESSAGE, I'll get someone from Sales in contact with you and give you a more detailed answer. Click on my picture/avatar to send me a PM. Thanks, and sorry for the delay in responding.

MBAM protects you by detecting and neutralizing file-based threats and memory-related processes. It uses a combination of heuristics and signatures to do this. Think of it as protecting the "what" of malware. MBAM doesn't necessarily know how the malware will do its evil. MBAE protects you by shielding apps that are prone to vulnerabilities, which also causes them to be prone to exploits. MBAE goes after the "how" of malware. If you know how something attacks, you don't need to worry about what it is, only that it shouldn't be trying to do what its doing. No signatures are needed for MBAE to do its job.

The admin account that is required is the BUILT-IN admin account on each endpoint. You can enable that by following these instructions: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744293%28v=ws.10%29.aspx Also check pages 54-55 of the Management Console Admin Guide to make sure that the pre-requisites have been met on your endpoints. Once everything is setup, that should work. Also, thank you for unintentionally showing me something I missed in the manual. I have not made a mention of the built-in admin account needed for workgroup usage. I gotta fix that.

We support the server ONLY on WIndows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012. It is NOT supported on any other operating system. You are correct that it WILL work in a domain OR workgroup environment.

You are correct. That will be fixed in an upcoming release.

Check the Admin Guide that came with it. There is a section on pre-requisites on endpoints which must be met in order to a push install. There are different specs for XP than for Vista, Win7 or Win8, but all have pre-requisites.

Neither Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit nor Anti-Malware replace your anti-virus software. Anti-virus goes after a specific class of malware. Anti-malware goes after newer threats and zero-day threats which are generally newer than what anti-virus can keep up with. Anti-Exploit shields applications from disk and memory-based exploits. It ONLY watches those applications. Anti-Exploit does not scan downloads, and the free version of Anti-Malware does not scan downloads...it scans your computer when you tell it to, and according to the specs that you provide. If you want your activities to be protected in real-time, Anti-Malware Premium does that...that's the primary reason that its a premium product, along with scheduling of updates and scans. The three different types of programs all work together to keep you safe.

Glad to hear it. That's usually what the problem is.

You're not getting ripped off. The most common reason is that people often confuse letters for numbers (or vice versa) on the ID or KEY. The font and the font size that are used in the email are not easy to read. Look at the sample below for an example. Font used in the email: 0 O 1 I 2 Z 5 S A more easy to read font: 0 O 1 I 2 Z 5 S By the way, the above text is larger than what's in the email. I'm just trying to show the similarity of the letters here. If you can, copy the text from the emal into a text file, move it to the next PC, and copy (CTRL-C) and paste (CTRL-V) from the text file into the Activation boxes. Make sure not to include any spaces before OR after the text strings. This should work. Please let us know.

Well, you may choose to dismiss this because I'm on staff, but 93% of people who have AV installed also have Malwarebytes installed. There's a pretty good reason for that. No product is perfect, but we fix a lot of issues that others don't even detect.

Forgive me for stepping in here, but you can always click on your picture (or avatar) to open a new window and click the FIND CONTENT button. It will give you a list of your posts.

Great! Glad I could help.

Show the Anti-Exploit screen on your computer, and follow the instructions on the two screenshots which I have attached here. That should take care of it.

If you have Anti-Exploit Premium, you can add a shield for Outlook.

I'm a bit confused, and because I'm probably going to have to leave this to Pedro tonight, I want to attach two images, Please let us know whether your Anti-Exploit looks like picture #1 (activate1.png) or picture #2 (activated.png). I have hidden the License ID in the second one, but the differences are pretty clear. I gotta go home or I'll turn into a pumpkin.

I'm just chiming in here until Pedro is available, but does the top (title) bar of the program now say "Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium" or "Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Free" ? It sounds like if your license ID is being shown, it should say "Premium" at the top. I'm just trying to help the post get a bit further along and move toward a solution, so pardon my intrusion.
