  1. Alright, I guess I will have to disable scheduled scans and unmount the RAM disks before running a manual scan. Do you need any more information from me incase you want to investigate this further? I realize you cannot support every combination of software but perhaps this unexpected use case exposed a bug in MBAM. What if malware made a RAM disk to cause MBAM to crash the system whilst scanning, and with it preventing MBAM from removing the malware? Just a thought...
  2. To clarify, I am not running MBAM from a RAMDisk, I use a RAMDisk as a temp directory and MBAM chokes on it while doing its heuristics scanning magic. MBAM itself is installed on my SSD.
  3. Hi, Ever since I upgraded MBAM to version 2 (2.0.2.1012 specifically) I have experienced BSODs during the heuristics section of any scan. After a bit of messing around I narrowed it down to a possible conflict with RAMDisk. RAMDisk is a piece of software that will allow you to create a virtual drive that is stored in memory. I use this virtual drive as the TEMP/TMP directory for speed and to avoid unnecessary wear and tear of my SSD. When this virtual drive is mounted and I run any type of scan in MBAM it will generate a BSOD (PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA caused by MBAMSwissArmy.sys) when it reaches the heuristics part of the scan. If I unmount the drive the scan will run without a problem. For good measure I also did a clean removal & reinstall as described in this topic, but this doesn't solve the problem. Background info: - Windows 7, 64bit fully patched - Running MBAM 2.0.2.1012 (Paid/Premium version) - RAMDisk 3.4.5 with a 2GB virtual RAM disk that I use as the Windows TEMP/TMP (and other applications) I am not sure if the problem lies with MBAM or with RAMDisk. Although the BSOD mentions MBAMSwissArmy.sys I don't think that rules out that the error isn't caused by the RAMDisk drivers. I would appreciate it if you guys could look into this. If required I can provide logs or other information.
  4. I seem to be experiencing the same issue as OP. I just updated to MBAM version 2.0.2.1012 and it will give me a BSOD during the scanning process. This happens consistently and seems to occur when the scanner is wrapping up the scanning of files and starting the heuristics scanning. BSOD screen looks similar to that of OP, some pagefault related to MBAMSwissArmy.sys. I'm running (fully patched) Win7 Pro, 64 bit. I'm not using TrueCrypt. I can provide crash dumps and other details if required.
