Hi ingber: Further to Porthos' question <above>, if your Malwarebytes Browser Guard was unexpectedly turned off in a Chromium-based browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge then the same thing happened to me a few days ago. I discovered that my Malwarebytes Browser Guard for Chrome extension had been automatically upgraded from v2.6.27 (the "old" Manifest v2 version) to v3.0.7 (the "new" Manifest v3 version with a smaller number of blocking rules - see the 12-Aug-2024 announcement Manifest v3 is Live on Chrome in in the Malwarebytes Browser Guard for Chrome board of this forum) and needed to be turned on again. See my 16-Aug-2024 post # 2697037 in Susan Bradley's topic Use Chrome and Ublock Origin? in the AskWoody.com forum for further details about this unexpected upgrade. My post # 2693359 in that AskWoody.com describes similar changes that are coming to uBlock Origin for Chrome. ----------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4780 * Firefox v129.0.1 * Microsoft Edge v127.0.2651.105 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24070.5-1.1.24070.3 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.8.123-1.0.5007 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783

Just to clarify, the system requirements <here> state that Malwarebytes for Windows 4.x requires Win 7 SP1 or higher. If you have a Win XP or Vista OS and are currently using the legacy Malwaerbytes v3.5.1 then David H. Lipman's suggestion to upgrade to v4.x is not a viable solution. ----------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4651 * Firefox v129.0.0 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24070.5-1.1.24070.3 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.6.117-1.0.1280 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783

Just an FYI that Malwarebytes announced today that Malwarebytes v3.5.1 (the legacy edition for Win XP and Vista) has reached end-of-life. This EOL is effective immediately and there will be no further malware definition updates released for this legacy product. See employee jtodd234’s 08-Aug-2024 post in anon74’s Malwarebytes 3.5.1 not updating definitions… again for further details. I'm not sure why, but as of today there is still no official announcement about the v3.x EOL posted in the Malwarebytes News board at https://forums.malwarebytes.com/forum/11-malwarebytes-news/. I still have Malwarebytes v3.5.1 installed on my (now rarely used) Vista SP2 machine and often recommend this legacy software to Win XP and Vista users looking for a reliable on-demand second opinion scanner, so a few months warning would have been appreciated. ----------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4651 * Firefox v129.0.0 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24070.5-1.1.24070.3 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.6.117-1.0.1280 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783

Kudos to Malwarebytes for not placing the new Identity Protection panel in Malwarebytes v5.1.7.121-1.0.1293 (rel. 29-Jul-2024) on an already crowded main dashboard. However, I noticed the small print below the Digital Footprint Scanner states that you are automatically enrolled to receive marketing emails when you submit your email address for analysis to see if it has been exposed in a hack. I can perform the same email scan on the Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) site at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ without subscribing to marketing emails, and I'm guessing that Malwarebytes' Digital Footprint Scanner uses the HIBP API and database like many other free email scanners (e.g., like the Mozilla Monitor at https://monitor.mozilla.org/). I could understand if the Marketing Department used ads in Malwarebytes Free to push extra features like Malwarebytes VPN and Identity Protection, but I don't want a paid security program like Malwarebytes Premium to be used as a marketing tool. I already posted about the unnecessary clutter on the v5.x.x dashboard in my 20-Apr-2024 topic Unexpected Upgrade to Malwarebytes v5.1.3 - Initial Impressions, and the new Identity Protection panel just looks like more of the same. The fact that I can unsubscribe from these marketing emails is irrelevant - when I am performing a security scan of my email address from a paid security program I don't want it to be saved on a remote server and/or added to a group mailing list. --------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4651 * Firefox v128.0.3 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24060.7-1.1.24060.5 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.7.121-1.0.1293 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783

Hi Doc898913: The "official" release notes are posted at https://support.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us/sections/23038336826899-Version-History but it often takes several days for that version history to be updated after a new version of Malwarebytes is released. Employee H4V0C has pinned a topic called Malwarebytes 5 at the top of this forum board that is updated shortly after a new product (scan engine) or component package is released, and many users subscribe to that topic so they are notified by email as soon as an update is released. Note: H4V0C will likely start a new topic when Malwarebytes v5.2.x is eventually released and you will have to subscribe to that new topic to continue receiving mail notifications. Unfortunately, for the past two years the product version number has not matched the version number of the Malwarebytes installer, which makes it very difficult, if not impossible, for Galactic Scan or any software updater app to correctly detect when an update is released for Malwarebytes. See P1W's 23-Jun-2023 What's the conventional version number of the mb4_offline installer? for more information. My 25-Mar-2024 post <here> in P1W's topic describes the difficulties I now have using winget commands or software updater apps like QuickInstaller and UCheck to correctly detect the latest available version of Malwarebytes. ------------ Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4651 * Firefox v128.0.0 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24060.7-1.1.24060.5 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.6.117-1.0.1280 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783 * QuickInstaller (Preview) 0.3.8859.20616 * UCheck Free Portable v5.5.0.2

The KB5034441 WinRE update successfully installed on my Win 10 Pro v22H2 laptop with my other Jan 2024 Patch Tuesday updates even though my WinRE partition did not have the 250 MB of free disk space recommended by Microsoft (see my 16-Jan-2024 post # 2628138 in the AskWoody forum). However, I was still using Malwarebytes Premium v4.6.8.311-1.0.2242 (rel. 11-Jan-2024) at the time. My problems with Windows Update did not begin until after my Malwarebytes Premium v4.6.12 automatically upgraded to v5.1.3 on 19-Apr-2024. As OP of this topic that is why I asked if anyone had started having new problems with Windows Update AFTER they upgraded to Malwarebytes Premium v5.x. I don't want this thread to go too far off topic, but if the KB5034441 WinRE update has failed on your system in the past you should read the 10-Jul-2024 ghacks.net article Microsoft says KB5034440 and KB5034441 updates won't be offered to PCs that meet these conditions. Microsoft modified the release notes <here> for KB5034441 on 09-Jul-2024 (expand the section titled "Change Log") and they now claim that Windows Update should no longer offer KB5034441 to Win 10 v21H2 and v22H2 users if their WinRE recovery partition does not have sufficient free space. ------------ Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4651 * Firefox v128.0.0 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24050.7-1.1.24060.5 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.6.117-1.0.1280 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783

Has anyone with a Win 10 OS had problems installing their Patch Tuesday updates (released on the 2nd Tuesday of each month) since upgrading to Malwarebytes Premium v5.x? My Malwarebytes Premium v4.1.6 automatically upgraded to v5.1.3 on 19-Apr-2024. Since then, during my: May 2024 Patch Tuesday updates on 19-May-2024 Windows Update threw 0x800706be errors during the download of my KB5037768 monthly CU (OS Build 19045.4412) and KB2267602 Microsoft Defender virus definition set v1.411.217. See details in my post # 2673128 in the AskWoody forum. June 2024 Patch Tuesday updates on 14-Jun-2024 Windows Update got stuck while downloading my KB5039211 monthly CU (OS Build 19045.4529) and Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT). I re-configured Malwarebytes Premium so it would not load at Windows startup (General | Windows Startup | Launch Malwarebytes in the Background When Windows Starts | OFF) and re-booted my computer, and Windows Update ran to completion without any further problems. See details in my post # 2680565 in the AskWoody forum. July 2024 Patch Tuesday updates on 12-Jul-2024 I prevented Malwarebytes Premium from starting with Windows and re-booted BEFORE my Windows Update session started and all updates [including my KB5040427 monthly CU (OS Build 19045.4651)] installed without throwing errors or getting stuck. See details in my post # 2687199 in the AskWoody forum. These preliminary tests suggest that Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.x might be interfering with Windows Update on my Win 10 v22H2 machine. I know it might be a coincidence that my Patch Tuesday problems started immediately after my Malwarebytes Premium upgraded to v5.x so I'm just curious to know if any other Win 10 users have noticed a similar problem. Note that my Malwarebytes setting at General | Windows Security | Always Register Malwarebytes in the Windows Security Center is OFF and I always create mutual scan exclusions in my MS Defender and Malwarebytes settings to minimize possible conflicts. mbst-grab-results 13 Jul 2024.zip ------------ Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4651 * Firefox v128.0.0 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24050.7-1.1.24060.5 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.6.117-1.0.1280 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783

Some additional information: I don't know if it's relevant, but I just noticed that my Malwarebytes Browser Guard for Firefox extension also updated to v2.6.27 today. ---------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4529 * Firefox v127.0.0 * Microsoft Edge v126.0.2592.61 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24050.7-1.1.24050.5 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.5.116-1.0.1252 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783

Malwaerbytes is blocking a connection to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank site (https://foodgrainsbank.ca/) because of a possible Trojan. I was able to browse to this site this afternoon but got a "Temporary problem - Please try again later" message when I tried to make an online donation, and this evening I can't connect at all because of the Malwaerbytes website block shown below. As of this evening my Firefox v127 browser will sometimes display the following error when I try to browse to this site. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Malwarebytes www.malwarebytes.com -Log Details- Protection Event Date: 6/18/2024 Protection Event Time: 6:31 PM Log File: ec61ee20-2dca-11ef-86bb-e454e81e1efc.json -Software Information- Version: 5.1.5.116 Components Version: 1.0.1252 Update Package Version: 1.0.86032 License: Premium -System Information- OS: Windows 10 (Build 19045.4529) CPU: x64 File System: NTFS User: System -Blocked Website Details- Malicious Website: 1 , C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe, Blocked, -1, -1, 0.0.0, , -Website Data- Category: Trojan Domain: foodgrainsbank.ca IP Address: 141.193.213.10 Port: 443 Type: Outbound File: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe (end)

Hi td47: You aren't the only one, so don't feel bad.🙂 From my 20-Apr-2024 post in Unexpected Upgrade to Malwarebytes v5.1.3 - Initial Impressions: ------------ Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4412 * Firefox v126.0.1 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24050.7-1.1.24050.5 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.5.116-1.0.1252 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783

This bug is now fixed, as noted in @H4V0C 's change log <here> for Malwarebytes v5.1.5.116-1.0.1252 (rel. 03-Jun-2024). Kudos to the developers for fixing the in-app links to the User Guide and support site so that they display information relevant to Malwarebytes (Desktop) v5.x. ------------ Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4412 * Firefox v126.0.1 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24040.4-1.1.24050.5 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.5.116-1.0.1252 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783

I know nothing about the Rust programming language, but could this error be related to Rust ending support for Win 7 and Win 8.x with the release of Rust v1.76 in Feb 2024? See the announcement in the Rust Windows Support Schedule 2024. According to a 24-Mar-2024 post by Nadahar in How to make RustDesk builds work on Windows 7 (and probably Windows 8) any executable compiled with Rust v1.76 or higher will now throw the error "The procedure entry point ProcessPrng could not be located in the dynamic link library bcryptprimitives.dll" when it runs on machines with these older OSs.

Hi AdvancedSetup: As expected, deleting my "old" scheduled scan and creating a new one solved the problem, and my latest weekly scan ran on schedule at 6:00 PM this past Friday. Daylight Savings Time (DST) started in Canada on 10-Mar-2024 and my Malwarebytes Premium didn't auto-update from v4.x to v5.x until 19-Apr-2024. I suppose it's possible that I didn't notice that my scheduled scans were running an hour late as far back as 10-Mar-2024 (this glitch has happened to me before during a DST switch) but I don't know for certain if that was the case this time since my scan reports don't go back that far. Whatever the cause, Malwarebytes is the only software I've used that will occasionally lose track of the one hour DST offset for my time zone, even though my system clock shows the correct time of day. I understand this isn't a critical bug but I wish the software developers would fix this annoying glitch once and for all. ----------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4412 * Firefox v126.0.0 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24040.4 -1.1.24040.1 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.4.112-1.0.1244 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783

Hi Porthos: Are you referring to QuiGonJohn's 16-Mar-2024 Have you all stopped making updates? That topic was discussing Malwarebytes v1.75, which reached EOL on 08-Jan-2017. If you read the footnote in the image AdvancedSetup posted <here> on 25-Mar-2024 in that topic (excerpt re-posted below) it only states that Malwarebytes will make a declaration about v3.5.1 End of Maintenance "at a later date" and that Win XP and Vista users "... will continue to receive any available protection updates that are supported in v3.5.1 until its respective End of Maintenance date". I can't find any official announcement about the End of Maintenance and / or End of Life dates for Malwarebytes v3.5.1. ---------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4421 * Firefox v126.0.0 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24040.4 -1.1.24040.1 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.4.112-1.0.1244 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783

Has Malwarebytes made a decision about the date when the legacy Malwarebytes v.3.5.1 for Win XP and Vista will stop receiving malware definition updates (EOL + 1 year according to the policy <here>)? The legacy installer is still available for download at https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mb3_legacy but the support article Malwarebytes for Windows v3 Product Lifecycle as been removed from the Malwarebytes Support site, and there is no announcement in the Malwarebytes News board that states when Malwarebytes v3.5.1 will (or already did) officially reach EOL. The most recent post I could find in this forum confirming that Malwarebytes v.3.5.1 was still receiving regular malware definition updates was Dave-H's 09-Oct-2023 post in anon743's Malwarebytes 3.5.1 not updating definitions... again. ---------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4421 * Firefox v126.0.0 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24040.4 -1.1.24040.1 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.4.112-1.0.1244 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783
