[Malwarebytes for iOS: I have a problem]

• As you already know, I use beta version 1.4.5.
• I use iOS 13.4
• I tried to remove Malwarebytes and reinstall it
• I forced the definition update at least a hundred times
• My definitions are a month old. The last update dates back to February 27, 2020.
• Is it just my problem?

I ask it because until the old version they updated several times a day (at least web protection and call protection). Ad-Blocker has always updated more sporadically

 

I attach screenshots

 

@treed @adas Help me, please.

Thanks

Have a good day

Massimiliano

If you have scanned with Malwarebytes you have certainly removed the cause of your problem but the browser settings cannot be fixed by Malwarebytes.

To restore this follow this post   How to remove the after-effects of adware writed by @treed

If you do not resolve follow this article Upload logs to your ticket using the Malwarebytes Support Tool for Mac but don't post the results here; rather it registers a support ticket and sends the zip files created by email https://support.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I hope I was helpful

Have a nice Sunday

[scanning function won't complete]

On the Mac? Because normally the complete scan takes me a few seconds.

[macOS 10.15.4 will deprecate kernel extensions (KEXT)]

It's true, it appears at the first post installation reboot, but I tried to restart and the second time it doesn't appear anymore. It's just a warning.
We await news from @treed

[Lack in Malwarebytes 4.x report]

I confirm that, as @exile360 says, with the report exported in a .txt file the result appears with deleted or completed.
Unfortunately, nothing similar appears in the summary tab or in the advanced tab of the report within the application
I attach the screenshot (in pieces) of the report inside the app.

 

 

[Lack in Malwarebytes 4.x report]

I noticed that in the Malwarebytes 4.x "scan reports" the message "scan completed" rather than the message "scan stopped by user" no longer appears.
It was a function present in Malwarebytes 3.x that I thought was useful to let people know if the report was more or less reliable. In fact, an interrupted scan cannot give us the same security as a completed one but there is no way of knowing it in the aftermath.

[Scanning external hard drive(s)]

Any advice on what to use, possibly free of charge, for occasional scans of external disks and / or internal disks (with full access to the disk, without any risks, if using Catalina) would be welcome. Thank you @alvarnell and if possible also by @treed.

[Scheduled scan disappeared - accidentally discovered]

This morning I opened Malwarebytes and not finding scans and I accidentally discovered that the scan schedule had disappeared. Everything was in order when the Mac was turned off last night
Normally it was done when the Mac was turned on in the morning and then every three hours and today at 10:55 (Italian time) none had been carried out despite the Mac being active for more than three hours.
I'm available for whatever was needed; obviously I proceeded to recreate the planning

At 11:00 the new scheduled scan was performed and nothing was detected.

Definition updates successfully done.
Malwarebytes version 4.2.1.2 - Definitions 4.0.464 from 13/03 morning

[Latest MB Beta 4.1.0.56 version 1.0.853 CU]

I confirm, even with the Italian version the situation is the same

[Failure to receive definition updates for a week]

We are on March 13 and as you can see in the screenshot the definitions are really old. I just forced the update.

What can be done about it?

I await a reply.

Thank you

 

[No web filtering in Edge]

Safe web browsing is only for the Chrome browser. I quote from Malwarebytes for Android Web Page

Quote

Safer browsing experience

Scans for phishing URLs when you're using the Chrome browser and alerts you when any are detected to ensure you have a safer experience while surfing the web. (Only available for phones and tablets)

 

[Video Wrapr = Malware?]

In the meantime you can upload it to VirusTotal.

You can upload the software and test the original link

[Safari extensions for Malwarebytes]

@alvarnell I thank you for the link provided to me that I read.

I'm aware of what an ad-blocker is doing and now even more aware about Google Safe Browsing.  

I asked @adas and @treed for information because this protection is also present on iOS but in addition there is Malwarebytes Web Protection for Safari and I wanted to ask what I could do while waiting for greater protection by Malwarebytes

[Version Update.]

For me, all Ok, just like @1PW

[Safari extensions for Malwarebytes]

On Firefox I only had Malwarebytes Browser Guard.

Is the ad-blocker sufficient for Safari?

Doesn't Google Safe Browsing need additional web protection?

If so I already use Ka-Block! It is the only extension I have

In the meantime, thank you for the new beta version (4.2.11) with automatic update to the new versions received right now while I replied

[Failure to receive definition updates for a week]

The problem has probably recurred
Today 03/03 at 12:25 definitions updated to 27/02, 27/02, 26/02 in order

Nothing to report yet, unfortunately. There are some challenges involved with the changes Apple has made to Safari extensions lately.

What do you recommend while waiting?

Is Google Safe Browsing sufficient?

I only use Safari on macOS Catalina 10.15.3

Thank you

 

PS: I noticed that with Firefox installed the MWB scan takes 18 "on my Mac. Uninstalling Firefox changes to 3". I don't know if it affects all additional browsers. Change little but it's a noticeable difference (6 times as much)

[Safari extensions for Malwarebytes]

By the way @treed, are there any news for the Malwarebytes extension for Safari (even only in beta)?

Thanks

[Fake Flash Player]

I recommend to you Ka-block! free from the Mac AppStore as ad-blocker. I also only use Safari and have been using it for about 2 years without problems

[Malware not detected by Malwarebytes]

It is not an evercookie but are advertisements on that specific site

[Malware not detected by Malwarebytes]

I recommend you to download (free from the Mac AppStore and from the AppStore) and enable in Safari on both Mac and iPad Ka-Block!  a great ad-blocker and you will solve the problem

[Mac Install Error]

@AdvancedSetup   Please move the post to Malwarebytes for Mac

For OSX Yosemite 10.10.x you need to use Malwarebytes 3.x

The latest version of Malwarebytes requires OSX 10.11 El Capitan

@treed  Please provide the link

[Account and Premium Subscription]

The account on the Malwarebytes site is only for purchases made on the Malwarebytes site.
The purchase made on the PlayStore is managed directly by Google and allows you to install the product on all your Android / ChromeOS devices connected to the Google account with which you made the purchase (subject to Google limitations); therefore a product key is not released.
