malwarebytes 5.0 system tray bug.
John L. Galt replied to brad03's topic in Malwarebytes 5 for Windows
Interesting. I didn't even realize this was not Qt based, though I am really glad to hear that. Glad a fix was found, too! -
malwarebytes 5.0 system tray bug.
John L. Galt replied to brad03's topic in Malwarebytes 5 for Windows
I think the important thing to note here is that this is version specific. As Brad noted, v4 didn't exhibit this behavior, and further testing can support that. So, while the System Tray functionality, in and of itself, is not under control of MB, interactions with the tray are. Something about the new software is interacting differently than the older v4, and thus causing this issue. -
Not everyone needs the dashboard to be editable, either. That being said, it would definitely be a good idea to have it as an option for those who want it to be editable. I hope this becomes an optional feature. While I'm not annoyed or irked by the current interface, I wouldn't mind being able to turn off the VPN report, as I have no plans to ever use the MB VPN as I use my own.

Malwarebytes 5.0.15.93 more issues.
John L. Galt replied to brad03's topic in Malwarebytes 5 for Windows
Are you referring to the Online Privacy section of the Dashboard? -
Malwarebytes 5.0.15.93 more issues.
John L. Galt replied to brad03's topic in Malwarebytes 5 for Windows
I'm the same way - I don't need the VPN, so the lifetime license for MB is enough for me. -
Malwarebytes 5.0.15.93 more issues.
John L. Galt replied to brad03's topic in Malwarebytes 5 for Windows
My grandfathered lifetime license is working perfectly in v5, so my guess is that you won't need to revert to v4. I only installed v5 on this build, which I clean installed Windows back in August - it's never had MB4 on it. -
This is also happening here even on v5.0.15.93. Quite annoying. System tray icon right click ignores theme: Taskbar icon follows system theme:

Malwarebytes 5.0.15.93 more issues.
John L. Galt replied to brad03's topic in Malwarebytes 5 for Windows
Yeah, same here - both 5.0.15.93 and the previous 5.0.14.89 did not have any update loops - because I manually check for updates a couple times a day, and more often than not I simply get -
Has Malwarebytes 5.0 been officially released?
John L. Galt replied to brad03's topic in Malwarebytes 5 for Windows
Indeed, this is good to know, thanks! -
Hi, Per FP on GitHub-hosted application WiGui - aka WinGet GUI. Report: WiGUI FP.txt Please let me know if I need to submit anything else.

Just downloaded the latest pre-release version of WiGUI, aka WinGet Install GUI, from https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-Install-GUI/releases/tag/v1.9.2 And MB5 is reporting it as Malware. Exported the report for the file. WiGUI FP.txt I assume this is a FP, and same as before, not MB5 specific? If so, Let me know, and I'll report it in the FP forum.

I just created a new one, and it is a doozy, for me. I use OneCommander as my FM in Windows Daily. It has many features which I use, including native archive extraction. I just downloaded 2 large .ZIP archives of RoyalTS, one for ver 6 and one for v7. With OneCommander, I can start an extraction on one file, then start a second extraction on a different file, and it will queue the subsequent files for extraction. I've used this method numerous times to extract multiple files. However, today, MB5 decided this was malicious behavior and quarantined the OneCommander executable for malicious behavior. The report: OC FP.txt After I restored the file, I cannot trigger it again.

I cannot duplicate the main issue anymore, as everything I've thrown at it hasn't worked in terms of it not starting on boot / reboot. I suspect fiddling with the settings, including disabling them all and then re-enabling, might have fixed something. If I run into any other show stoppers with v5 builds, I'll post back in here with fresh info and a current set of logs as well.

Hi. Glad to see this is in development, it's been a while since I got to play with a full beta. That being said, I'm having at least one issue, and quite possibly another. I've narrowed down the cause for the first issue, but the second is right now just random, seemingly, and I cannot directly correlate it with MB 5 running, so I'm still testing that as I can. The issue I do have repeatable is this: MB 5 won't auto start on my system if I am forced to use the reset switch during boot, even early in boot, when it should just be in POST, and before Windows should have started booting. Backstory: This is reproducible 100% of the time when I need to use the reset button because of my monitors going too quickly into standby mode. MB 5 Settings that may be relevant: Should I try to force it to not start and then grab logs?
-
Seems a bit more complicated here. I'm now sometimes getting it to start, and sometimes not. I suspect I know why now, but I'm still testing it a bit more before I can bring back a near 100% reproducible scenario for testing.
-
Anyone having an issue on Windows 11 build 22621.2361 where all settings for autostart are set (except Delay Real-Time Protection), but MB5 won't auto start with the system? It doesn't show in either Windows Settings --> Apps --> Startup nor Task manager --> Startup apps for me.

threat scans latest version 5.0.12.72
John L. Galt replied to brad03's topic in Malwarebytes 5 for Windows
Sorry, got delayed getting logs. I've had a few issues to work through, including how my system seems extremely sluggish when MB5 is running (not scanning). I'll grab some logs and do a small write up in a new thread if the latest scan does not take forever anymore. -
threat scans latest version 5.0.12.72
John L. Galt replied to brad03's topic in Malwarebytes 5 for Windows
Interesting. I'll try to run the scan when I have time to focus on it, and see where it gets stuck and for how long. -
threat scans latest version 5.0.12.72
John L. Galt replied to brad03's topic in Malwarebytes 5 for Windows
Lol - good thing I downloaded the reports. The first scan didn't take 40 seconds, it took 40 minutes. The first scan scanned 315K items, the second scan after updating to .72 I cancelled only 18 minutes in, and it was only at 312K items. Let me run another full scan, and once that is done, run a couple of subsequent scans over the day, and if there is still a large discrepancy, I'll follow up back here. Again, my apologies for misreading the time on the first (pre-update) scan. -
threat scans latest version 5.0.12.72
John L. Galt replied to brad03's topic in Malwarebytes 5 for Windows
Correct. I set the scan options up right after installing,, then scanned with 63 .68, then upgraded and scanned again without changing anything, according to the reports in the dashboard. I'm downlaoding them now to verify that they were identical except version used. I'll get the logs up also shortly.
