MBAE 1.09.2.1384 is responsible for the blank IE loading. The 1.09.2.1398 build released by the MBAE program manager on this post has been shown to fix that issue - https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/199801-mbae-10921384-internet-explorer-11-latest-updates-random-freezes/?do=findComment&comment=1121614
The most recent conflict that caused Windows to lock up involved Defender, SCEP and MSE. If you do have one of these products in use, it will require a special ignore list to be used. That list is here if needed - https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/190771-malwarebytes-and-microsoft-security-essentials-conflicts/?do=findComment&comment=1100493
SEP has not shown any of that behavior but it always a good idea to setup mutual exclusions between security programs. The recommended SEP setup is with child process, Sonar and scan locations disabled for Malwarebytes processes. Here’s a video to follow – http://screencast.com/t/KN5dU7wPVZ11

Hi Dan, your premium support entitlement does grant you phone access, our hours are 6am-6pm Pacific US time. The number is not publicly provided, it will be within your purchase documents that were sent by your sales agent after the purchase was completed.
I looked over some of your existing cases. When you upgrade from 1.7 to 1.8 you must complete the client upgrade before touching or modifying any of your policies, if you fail to do so, the clients will be sent an incorrect check-in timer value. This is the note from the upgrade steps on our KB for upgrading - https://support.malwarebytes.com/customer/portal/articles/1835539-?b_id=6520
During the period between upgrading the management console and managed client software, you may observe significantly longer check-in intervals from your endpoints. This behavior is temporary, and is automatically corrected after you upgrade the managed client software on your endpoints.
An additional item to note, based on the upgrade tactic you've chosen with KACE, when you use the offline installer package through a third party push tool (GPO, SCCM, KACE PDQ Deploy etc), you cannot install the upgrade over the top of the existing software. You must first uninstall the current builds, reboot the machines, and then deploy the upgraded build through your chosen tool. Only the built-in push tool within the console can upgrade client builds over the top of the existing install.
The object reference not set to an instance of an object is an error displayed when the machines need to be rebooted after an install.
-
Hi Daniel, the upgrade process is not the most intuitive, so I understand your frustration. The client view and push installer function on two very different principles and cannot be integrated together at this time, the push installer is also very basic. Client View uses data directly out of the SQL database, fed to it by the clients when they submit their status to the database. It is not a direct connection to any client machine. The push tool uses netbios name services to discover machines and runs an installer from temp using the admin shares. The communication to the clients from the server is not the type you'd expect. It is not a push config, the clients are what control their own communication back to the server based on the interval you define in the policy.
-
Hi @Rammer47 that's an awesome update. It's fine if you couldn't get those two files, it's most likely the update process didn't make them in that moment or Norton doesn't see those extension types.
Let's continue in this post, no need for a new one
-
Hi @arturt awesome update, happy to hear your communication is back up after getting the hotfix build out.
-
Hi @arturt the version you have installed, 1.8.0.3431, has a bug in it that gives the check-in time as a zero integer:
<ManagedClientVersion>1.8.0.3431</ManagedClientVersion>
Error 2017-04-27 21:59:37.0661 3612 7 Failed to send client status: System.ArgumentException: '0' is not a valid value for 'Interval'. 'Interval' must be greater than 0.
Error 2017-04-27 22:00:53.9197 2832 7 Failed to apply new policy file: System.ArgumentException: '0' is not a valid value for 'Interval'. 'Interval' must be greater than 0.
Error 2017-04-27 22:00:55.2097 2832 7 There was an unhandled exception: System.ArgumentException: '0' is not a valid value for 'Interval'. 'Interval' must be greater than 0.Due to that 0 value, sccomm cannot process any policy commands. Re-download the software, it will be the hotfix build instead, 1.8.0.3443. Upgrade the server and redeploy to the clients and proper service operation and communication will be restored.

Could I have you test if it possibly the anti-exploit side? There's been a blow up on the mbae product that IE is not able to be used, I'm wondering if this is more of what you're experiencing since disabling mbam is not working in your recent tests.
We could watch what's happening with Procmon but in order to save the recording, the machines have to be able to recover without a hard reboot.
-
Hey @SLSHAMAL I was making that point more for people who will come across this thread in the future wondering the same thing, I wasn't trying to put you on blast. I just want your environment to be safe, a goal I know you share.
-
A server will not be at risk for ransomware unless one is using them for questionable purposes, like using them for internet browsing or opening email, which is a huge no no. You protect your servers by implementing solid policies around acceptable usage, a staggered backup schedule and having MBARW on the clients that connect to the servers.
Again, even if you put MBARW on a server, it cannot stop an encryption process that is running from an endpoint workstation. That ransomware process is located in the memory of the endpoint it unpacked on, you must have the MBARW software on the endpoint to be able to stop the encryption process before it reaches a server share / mapped drive.
-
No, MBARW only supports workstation OS. Additionally, the MBARW protection software must be on the endpoints in order to protect a server share. If one of your users opens a macro infected office doc or malicious *.js or *.scr in a zipped email attachment, the malicious encryption process is not running on the server, therefor the server will not be able to stop the encryption process. It must be stopped at the source machines.
-
Hi mngooze, no, MBAM does not disable any admin shares.
-
MBAR is a self extracting tool, Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit scanner, it does not install. Do you mean MBARW, Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware?
-
You have also completed the upgrade for the endopints, yes?
-
No release date yet.

If you are unable to use the local admin, create an offline installer in policy \ installation package. With server's, it's usually the case to need to use the local admin of that server to successfully push, domain creds are usually not successful, including attempts with a domain admin account.
Computers not showing up in the scan results is most typically because:
- .Net 3.5 is missing or not enabled.
- Network discovery, File sharing and Printer sharing is not enabled.
- The machine is on a separate subnet or vlan than then one the console server is located on, a netbios over smb restriction.
- Netbios over smb is restricted in some other way on the environment, i.e. netbios ports are closed or filtered; 135, 137, 138, 139
-
Using the push utility to discover and install to server's, try using the scan network and detect option with WMI checked, using the built-in local administrator account for the server instead of domain credentials. That local admin account will need to be enabled and password protected, if it is not enabled/pass-worded already.
In my example here, I am looking for a machine named "SERVER", I am scanning with "SERVER's" local administrator account instead of domain creds.
Two machines showed up, but only one queried right since I used its local admin, "SQLSERVER" failed to login since its local admin has a different password.
The email alert is in regards to the console retrieving updates to host for the endpoints. If your policy is set to get them from the internet, incremental style, then this alert is not needed and can be unchecked in the email alert options.
-
Nicely done with the powershell script, much easier than the normal process.

Hi @Agent88, 1.80.2.1012 is still the latest for business subscription holders. There is no release date yet for Malwarebytes 3.x on the business side, the build is still in the QA process
.
On 12/8/2016 at 5:13 AM, RubbeR DuckY said:I’m a business customer and I want Malwarebytes 3.0! When can I get it?
Small businesses that use the un-managed Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1x or 2x versions can uninstall the old product and install the new Malwarebytes 3.0 Premium. The centrally managed Malwarebytes 3.0 will be shipping for business customers by early next year. We’re very excited about some really cool endpoint protection management technologies we have in the pipeline for our business customers. -
I double checked the links I posted earlier, they are working.

MBAM agent 1.80.x is indiscriminate when it comes to any registry modifications. It will hit on your legit GPO enforcement's. Add your GPO registry key to the Policy → Ignore list, replacing the account SID‘s with the * wildcard. Note that only console and client communicator 1.6.1.2897 and above with Anti-Malware 1.80.1.1011 and above, supports this wildcard in the middle of a string, and only for registry keys.
Here’s a list I made of all the gpo changes I’ve seen get tagged as pum:

Hi @Wolflord, the console's is not able to do that at this time, although that is a great idea. I'll move your thread to the feature requests area.
-
Run a new set, it would be interesting to compare to the previous one as well.

@kieferschild @BenCunn can I have you guys run these tools?
Step A – Malwarebytes Client Log Set
On the client go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Managed Client and run the tool CollectClientLog.exe. Attach the folder it generates.Step B – Malwarebytes Check Log
Please download and save our diagnostic tool, mbam-check.exe, to your desktop from this link.Double-click mbam-check.exe to launch the tool. A black command prompt window will briefly appear, and then a log file will open. The log which opens will be saved to your desktop as CheckResults.txt.
Step C – frst Log
In addition to the check logs, I would like to have you run a tool known as frst. frst will help provide me with a list of installed programs and other information about your computer that will help me see if there are any other problems that are not being detected. Please follow the steps below to run frst.1.) Please download frst and frst64 from the link below and save it to your desktop:
Note: You need to download the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system, download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your computer; that will be the right version. Some traditional Anti-Viruses may false positive the download or running frst, I can assure you it is safe. If this happens, please temporarily disable the AV.
2.) Double-click the purple frst or frst64 icon to run the program. Click Yes when the disclaimer appears.
3.) Click the Scan button
4.) When the scan has finished, it will make 2 log files in the same directory the tool is located, frst.txt and Addition.txt.Please attach MBMC Client log, CheckResults.txt, frst.txt and Addition.txt in your reply.

Hi @Rammer47 here's what's going on. There's a Windows Event error pointing to the failure and the cause...
Error: (04/10/2017 08:56:41 AM) (Source: Service Control Manager) (EventID: 7001) (User: )
Description: The MBAMService service depends on the MBAMProtector service which failed to start because of the following error:

Business vs Home
in Malwarebytes Business Products Comments and Suggestions
Posted
Hi @berttie, on the legal side business keys will not activate the home version and using the home version for anything other than a home use PC is against the product's EULA.
On the usability and technical side, the home version cannot be configured through command line like the managed and standalone versions of the business builds can, making administration of the program something you'd have to do by hand for each PC.
