  1. Interesting article: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/01/antivirus-is-bad/ After reading this article I'm starting to think maybe we should stop using antivirus software.
  2. Update: After rebooting and scanning again the scan completed successfully. I am guessing a reboot is needed after upgrading to 3.0.6 before you run a scan.
  3. Just installed 3.0.6 and scan hung at the following.
  4. I uploaded the files in your zip file to virustotal.com for scanning and they all came back clean. My guess would be it is a bug with the WhoCrashed app.
  5. I agree. However I no longer purchase the AV "Security Suites" or "Total Security" package as some call it. I just get the basic AntiVirus and then MBAM along with it.
  6. " Is there a way to save these settings to a config and restored to other computers? " As soon as I posted I realized this question is for the AV people not MBAM.
  7. Is there a way to save these settings to a config and restored to other computers? Adding exclusions to every computer I work is time consuming. If not are these setting saved in one of the MBAM's config.json files that can be copied from computer to computer?
  8. This complaint is purely aesthetics. The blue MBAM icon is almost impossible to see on some computers with a blue taskbar. I have gone to work on some computers and at first glance I thought MBAM was not running because I did not see the icon in the system tray, it was there I just had to look really closely to see it. It would be nice if it had an outline of a different color or something to make it stand out better.
  9. Has not crashed any more since upgrading to 3.0 so I consider the issue resolved. Thanks
  10. I have seen a few other threads talking about adding exclusions to your AV program for MBAM. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can expand on this. Aside from providing a list of exclusions please discuss file and folder exclusions vs process exclusions and when to use each. The easiest thing to do would be to at "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware" as a folder exclusion but is that adequate.
  11. Thanks for the additional info exile360. I feel a little more confident as to where MBAM positions itself. For customers looking for the cheapest solution I will start installing MBAM with Defender. For those willing to spend a little extra I will continue to install MBAM with Bitdefender AV Plus.
  12. Traditional AV or not if we are told it can replace my existing AV program it should detect, scan and remove viruses as well as other traditional AV programs. Don't get me wrong I am a big fan of MBAM and have been using the paid version for years. I just need more convincing it can serve as my sole line of protection. I realize you can still run MBAM along with your favorite AV program. As an IT tech I have some customers with limited resources to spend on security apps I would love to be able to tell them MBAM is all they need now.
  13. Now that 3.0 is being sold as a antivirus and malware solution any chance you will start participating in the "AV Comparatives" test ?
  14. Has AdwCleaner and JRT been integrated into MBAM 3.0 scanning and cleaning or do we still need to run them separately when cleaning a computer?
  15. No luck getting it to repeat the problem today. Tried severial times with both USB 2.0 and 3.0 flash drives and with and without vmware running.
  16. Attached are my log files. I did find another similar post. MBAM.zip
  17. This issue has been happening since MBAM 2.2.1.1043 so its been going on for a while. Malwarebytes randomly crashes when pluging in or removing a flash drive. Today my backup program would no run because my flash drive had been assign a different drive letter. I went to Disk Management to change it back to its usual drive letter and as soon as I applied the change MBAM crashed. It is easy enough to relaunch it just by double the desktop icon. Does not seem to effect windows or any other programs. No rebooting of computer required.
  18. I'm having same issue since MBAM 2.2.1.1043 Malwarebytes randomly crashes when pluging in or removing a flash drive. Today my backup program would no run because my flash drive had been assign a different drive letter. I went to Disk Management to change it back to its usual drive letter and as soon as I applied the change MBAM crashed.
  19. Are any of the features in Anti-Exploit included in the payed version of MBAM. Is it reduntant to have both or do they complement each other.
  20. About to buy some Dell Precision workstations and configure with Raid 1. Since raid 1 requires no parity calculating is the intergerated raid all I need or is it worth it to buy a raid card?
  21. I have been using Windows 8 for 3 months now on my office computer with no issues. I spend 99.99% of my time working from the desktop and with Classic Shell installed for a Start Menu I feel like I am working on a windows 7 machine. I do not like the start page. While I have had no issues with Windows 8 I strongly feel the average windows user is not going to like Win8 when they login and land on the start page. Lets face it, it is going to be a long time before we all have touch screens sitting on our desk.
  22. When I login to my Partner account I automatically have a business license in my shopping cart. How do I a Personal License to my cart?
  23. Hi Amethyst I saw this same behavior on two computers today. Both had XP SP3, MSE 2.0 and MBAM 1.50.1 installed with all the latest updates. I have been unable to find out what is causing it. Google searches have found others with this issue but no solution. Unable to reproduce the problem on my own computers.
