  1. Hi @jboursier, do you have any updates on this issue? It's still not downloading the cloud definitions and the local definitions are pretty old.
  2. Hi, I'm pretty sure this is a false positive. Can you guys verify for me please? Here's the relevant info from the logs: -Software Information- Version: 4.5.0.152 Components Version: 1.0.1538 Update Package Version: 1.0.49112 License: Premium -Website Data- Category: RiskWare Domain: devrylaw.ca IP Address: 104.37.189.110 Port: 443 Type: Outbound File: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe It comes back clean on VirusTotal. Thank you!
  3. I have the same issue. After a restart MBAM reports "Careful, you're not fully protected" (clicking "View details" then reports that Windows firewall is off although it's definitely on). If I simply just wait a few minutes without doing anything the message automatically changes to "Great job! You're fully protected" (without opening Windows Firewall).
  4. @H4V0C Forgot to add that I'm actually not on a beta, I'm running the latest non-beta version (4.4.9.142 / 1.0.1486)
  5. Hi @H4V0C thanks for looking in this! Unfortunately that didn't help in my case. I stopped Malwarebytes via the "Quit Malwarebytes" option of the icon in the task bar, and re-launched the program via the Start menu. I'm still not seeing the General Settings section though.
  6. FYI the Ad Blocker dictionary finally updated (20211020) but the Call and Web Protection dictionaries are still more than 3 months old.
  7. Hi, The new Security Advisor feature on one of my MBAM installs doesn't show the "General Settings" section at the bottom (see attached screenshot from the installation that does show it). Both Windows Firewall and Brute Force Protection is definitely turned on though, and Security Advisor reports "Your device is safe and secure" at the top with a green shield. Anyone else have the same issue?
  8. Hello! When was the last time the dictionaries were updated? Here's the latest version numbers from the app: Call Protection: 1.0.202107251904 Web Protection: 1.0.202107240204 Ad Blocker: 1.0.202108041306 Call and web protection is about 3 months old, while ad block is about 2.5 months old. I have the latest version of the app (v 1.7.0) installed and tried manually updating over both mobile and Wi-Fi. Thanks!
  9. FYI this issue is ongoing and happens very frequently. For me it's only about 1 in 5 times that the latest database is downloaded when doing a scan. This wouldn't be such a pain if AdwCleaner at least kept the latest version of the database after it's downloaded for next time you run a scan.
  10. Hello! I noticed that one of my MBAM installs never showed me the 30-day summary report even though the UI showed it as ON and Always Show. I had a look at the MbamClientConfig.json file and saw the following settings: "AlwaysShowMonthlyReport": null, "ShowMonthlyReport": null The working install did not have those settings at all so on the install that wasn't working I toggled "Always Show" to "Only show..." and back, and from ON to OFF and back. Now both settings have a value of true instead of null in the config file. TL;DR: I think there's a discrepancy between how the UI sees a value of "null" (i.e. it doesn't think the setting exists so it shows the defaults) and how the scheduler code sees a value of "null" (i.e. it sees that the setting exists and treats the null value as false, i.e. OFF).
  11. Hello! Yesterday I checked for updates and was greeted with a "We need a moment to apply some updates. Restart Malwarebytes" message. After MBAM restarted I was surprised to see that both the Component Package version (1.0.1464 to 1.0.1474) and the Malwarebytes application version (4.4.7.134 to 4.4.8.137) changed. In the past, only the Component Package would be updated this way. A new Malwarebytes application version would give me a Windows UAC prompt to run MBSetup.exe (which I loathed!). Is this the expected behavior of the latest update process, and if so is this how all updates will be handled going forward?
  12. I connect to WiFi but it's infrequent, mostly just to install iOS updates. I have unlimited LTE so prefer the extra battery life over using WiFi. I'm also not a fan of leaving WiFi on while I'm out and about, not knowing what it's reaching out to or doing while it's in my pocket ☺️ Quick question about the new version (1.4.5) that was released on June 16 ... I have the Premium version but don't use the phone or SMS blocking features, just the web protection and ad blocking features. I won't see any visible changes in the UI then right, just under-the-hood bug fixes etc. with the new version?
  13. I see a new version 1.4.5 is now available in the app store, released on June 16. Anyone install this yet? Any issues? @treed Any chance we can get the ability to auto-update "protection updates" via mobile data in a future release? I almost never connect to WiFi and have to remember to manually click the update button every now and then. Thanks!
  14. Hi @1PW Nice chatting to you again and thank you for the link to the VirusTotal scan with the hashes, much appreciated! I still use VirusTotal to scan files but file hashes published by the vendor help verify chain of custody. Signing certificates are great but basically has the same problem. You still need to verify the details of the certificate (not the somewhat useless CN but the SHA256 fingerprint, etc.) to ensure chain of custody since it's increasingly common for malware to be signed. BTW, I wrote a PowerShell script (see screenshot) that extracts the signer and counter signer certificates of the new file to a known, verified copy of the previous version and compares them to each other. That's when I noticed that the file was countersigned by a new company that I'm not really familiar with, hence my hesitation and decision to ask on the forum what the file hashes were to put my mind at ease. Better safe than sorry! 😄
  15. Hi there! Can a Malwarebytes staff member please be so kind as to post the SHA1 or SHA256 hashes of the latest MBSetup.exe file? Looks like it's v4.4.0.220. I want to verify the file hashes before I accept the UAC prompt and continue updating my v4.3 install to v4.4. Thank you!
