[Protection Disabled]

Thanks for the feedback. We are aware of this defect and are currently working on it. Could you please uninstall MBARW and remove the folder in %Programdata%/Malwarebytes/Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware, and see if this fixes the issue for now?

[Anti-Ransomware Beta autostarts with "protection disabled"]

MBARW should remember the last protection state and start with that state. We are looking into the issue of the application not remembering the state. Thanks!

[False on Kodi.exe]

Kodi is a grey area application, and thus we cannot do a lot from our end. Please add the EXE to the exclusions on MBARW to prevent future FPs if you wish to use kodi and MBARW

[mwbarw task bar icon needs to show change in status]

Mathit, because MBARW will be joined into MBAM at the end of the BETA, there would be no reason to implement this feature into the beta. 

 

And when its joined into MBAM you will have the features you know and love along with the functionality of MBARW ruled in

[False Positive or real thing?]

Also, you you please do a full reboot on your machine and see if the file can then be recovered?

Thank for your feedback jmg. We are currently looking into this defect and will update shortly.

[Ignore List]

The whitelist is on the gui named exclusions.

[Long shut down times]

Hello,

My apologize for the delay in response, sometimes these posts get buried and it becomes difficult to answer.

This is a known defect and we are aware of it and working on fixing it. Please know that this will be fixed before the rolling of the functions of arw into mbam for sure, and most likely sooner.

We will keep users updated, but you can also find the things we address each release in the main stickied thread in this beta forum.

Thanks!
 

[New Ransomware "Locky" blocked]

MBARW has blocked Locky from day one of its release. I have also even tested with the dropper from OP and a coworker of mine also did.

The only concern is that right now it does get 2-3 files before it stopped, but this is expected with some ransomware in this beta, and we already have a plan of action for these cases.

Another thing that may confuse people and make them think they still got infected is that the ransomware note is left on the machine or opened. This is nothing, and ur files are still protected and safe, we simply have not added a clean up for those ransom files yet, but will in the future.

Thanks for the feedback!

[False Positive - Unknown]

Thanks! ill take a look at these logs and see if it really did detect anything, and if so, what.
