Hello @flaxx:

Malwarebytes 5 for Mac was updated to v5.5.3.1605 a few hours ago.

Please update and reply to this topic and let us know if your iMac19,1's menu bar icon issue has been resolved.

Thank you.

Hello @icantchooseone:

We have been told that MBG v3.0.8 is in the works and hopefully a resolution is close.

Thank you.

August 21

Hello @flaxx:

You are correct. I did misunderstand what you posted and I apologize. The significant difference may be in the fact that your iMac has an Intel processor and mine does not. Please carefully reinstall MB5 per the following:

Please save your work and quit all open applications.
Download the current release version of MB5 for Mac.
Restart macOS.
Reinstall MB5 for Mac over the top of your existing installation.
Restart macOS again.

Please update this topic with the version number of the MB5 reinstall and the results of the reinstall.

Thank you.

Hello @icantchooseone:

Thank you for sticking with this issue.

When you posted last, the Google Chrome browser was using MBG v3.0.5.

Please make sure Chrome is updated and upgrade MBG to v3.0.7, Clear Browser Guard storage, and Check for database updates.

Then, toggle Ads Trackers to the enabled position and retest followed by a reply to this topic with your result. If the condition persists, please generate a new Download Debug Logs and attach with your results.

Thank you.

Hello @flaxx:

The latest MB5 for Mac release to General Availability (GA) version is v5.5.2.1604 which will likely soon self updates to v5.5.3.1605.

As you have pointed out above, since v5.4..1.1525, and if the user elects to install a menu bar icon, a new display replaces the previous optional pull-down menu and IMHO will and has continued through and to v5.5.3.1605.

BTW, what you see on your iMac19,1, I also see on my MacBookPro18,1 running macOS 14.6.1 Sonoma and I have MB5 v5.5.3.1605 installed.

Improvement for Audio CD *.pxi image files

Show $meta data files for the Panasonic DVR MEIHDFS file system (Requires at least a [Professional] license)

Control characters 0 - 31 are now replaced by their numeric character reference in XML reports

Recognize *.regf files by their signature

Don't create a *.gzndx file if the compressed file is too small (and it fits in the cache)

Detect and show PS4 External HDD encryption

Various improvements under the hood for ReFS, making it more robust in case of data corruption

Ability to select an ReFS $meta file that is currently not the default and use that to create a new ReFS file system (Needs [Enterprise] license)

Plenty of other tweaks and improvements

Fixes:

Fix printing from the edit window in 64 bit mode

Fix for larger ReFS 3.x volumes where the root could not be found

Fixed making corrupt ~4GB *.gzndx files for huge *.gz files in 32 bit mode

Opening a split *.gz.00? file via the *.gzndx file now works properly (before it would not find the *.001 file)

Version 5.4.1 fixes some regression in 5.4, in particular when opening generic image files

1Password 8.10.40 for Windows has been released. (13-August-2024)

Quote

August 13, 2024
1Password for Windows 8.10.40

Reduced the chances of all authenticated settings being reset due to old or invalid settings.

We fixed an issue where the 1Password app would steal focus from browser windows if the 1Password browser extension was installed but not signed in.

We fixed an issue where the “Connect with 1Password in the browser” setting could automatically turn back on after being turned off.

Settings are now reset after you reset 1Password from Advanced Settings or sign out of all accounts in the app.

You can now import login items with encrypted URLs from LastPass.

Hello @bryanschmiedeler and welcome back:

The reply given you by Thomas over a year ago for macOS 14 Sonoma applies today with MB5 for Mac and macOS 15/15.1 Sequoia.

The Malwarebytes management simply won't want their developers releasing code for a moving target.

Please look back at this subforum in a month or so.

HTH

Edit: As this is posted, macOS Sequoia betas are at:

15.0 is at Beta 6

15.1 is at Beta 2
