Thank you for your answer!
It seems like a lot of people have issues with their pro license reverting to free during an update / reinstall, and they have to go the whole procedure "contact us" , "provide proof of purchase" etc , which will be more and more difficult in the future, especially for the "life time" licenses.
That's why I wanted to deposit them somehow in "my account" on Malwarebytes , so in the future will be much easier to prove them as "valid"
Also, I can submit them to your "customer service" for acknowledgement of validity , and I can save the email.
Thanks!

Thank you for your answer.
So, what should I do meanwhile??? I made "print screen" copies for all of them being activated for MBAM v3.2 but other than that?
Shall I send all of them to you for "validation"??
My concern is that in a future versions of MBAM one or more will deactivate ( seems to be common these days) and I will have to go all nine yards with "provide proof of purchase", which is impossible to have 4-6 years after I purchased.
Thanks.

I have several "life time" licenses , which I bought retail "on sale" on various times; all of them are activating fine;
How can I open an account and add all these serials to protect them from future issues? (In the future, if one of them will not activate , I may be asked for proof of purchase, which I do not have for all of them ; I bought in several years )
Once again ALL of them are activating fine for version 3.2 -

I've never had a detection by my antivirus. Should I uninstall that too
Based on ....
...you should keep your antivirus and uninstall MBAM. At least your antivirus can be tested somehow...

None of those complaining about Malwarebytes seem willing to take any responsibility for their difficulties
Never had any issue with MBAM, starting with V2 and going into v3, in the last 3 years ; Installed on multiple PC's in parallel with a reputable antivirus.
Never had any detection also, in 3-4 years on 3 different PC's, so I uninstall it and run the antivirus alone.
Did not see any added benefit provided by MBAM.

Even if that happened, what assurance would you have that full security protection was working? At best you would have false assurance.
With MBAM you already have false assurance. Have you seen latest MBAM results in MRG Efitas Q2 /2017?

These result are a bit depressing as related to Malwarebyte's ability to protect.
I wonder how having MBAM besides a well known antivirus (ESET, for example) would be beneficial with so low detection rates.

I understand what is an "intelligent algorithm" , but yet what is "machine learning"????

"Malwarebytes provides superior protection for businesses, featuring industry-leading seven layers of detection techniques, including new innovative machine learning approach towards Anomaly Detection"
The new hype these days in virus detection is this "machine learning".
Can anyone explain, in plain English how "machine learning" is being implemented on MBAM?
Thanks!

I had MBAM and MSE4.10 for several years, after that I switched to NOD 32 and now to Bitdefender free and PC Tools firewall (on a Win 7 / 64 pc).
MBAM and MSE made a very good combination without overlapping protection but had a serious impact on browsing ( like 1 sec delay) and never got ANYTHING in quarantine of MBAM after several years.
Nod 32 is good but overcomplicated for an average user.
Bitdefender Free has zero impact on my pc and has the same level of protection as paid, with a detection rate of 100%
I do not know if it is running in safe mode, but for disinfection there are a lot of tools to use, beside the paid version of MBAM.

I used for years ( I have 5 lifetime licenses) but not anymore.

in the real world is going to get 100% detection rates of viruses and malware
The 100% detection rate mentioned in AV Comparatives is as practical as it is possible in a rational world. You can use 5 antiviruses at the same time and still, theoretically you will not get an absolute 100%.
From a practical point of view, using only one antivirus with a tested detection rate of 100% it is more than enough, to achieve a balance between impact on performance of your PC, cost and conflicts.
While I agree that backup is a must have ( you pay once for a backup program) running MBAM along a well performing antivirus is a waste of money and pc resources ; nobody yet tested MBAM in any official test, so just supposing that 2 programs are better than one will give you a false sense of security.
As I said many times, I never got an alert from MBAM while used with a well known antivirus; always the antivirus detected all, leaving nothing for MBAM.

close to 100% detection rates and less false positives
As per latest AV-Comparatives , you have Avast !, AVG, F-Secure, Panda, Symantec, Trend Micro with 100% detection by themselves .
Adding MBAM to these antiviruses will not get you 101% detection rate.

database of old, non-active threats
AV Test uses , for 0-day malware 202 samples; being zero-days, I doubt they are old, non-active threats
For the rest of detection , they use "widespread and prevalent malware discovered in the last 4 weeks (the AV-TEST reference set)" , so again, no old, non-active threads.
So, in fact what are you talking about?

We don't refuse to be tested at all. In fact, there are currently plans being discussed right now to have official testing done by at least one or more of the testing organizations.
So, any news about "plans being discussed right now to have official testing "
It is more than half a year now.
Thanks!

MBAM can't provide web protection, but its anti-malware protection would kick-in if a harmful script or *.exe were executed
So, why do we have " web protection" if "anti-malware protection would kick-in if a harmful script or *.exe were executed"??

What do you mean by "currently yes"????
Show me one time when they were not "currently busy"....
On my ticket (#2065751 ) , to add insult to injury, I received after a week :"Just checking in. I was wondering if you need further assistance ..."
They never answered to my original ticket.
