  1. Perhaps I shall contact the Chrono Download Manager dev to see whether an accommodation can be made for competing extensions such as MBG. Thank you for your efforts! Take good care. Cheers, AJN
  2. Thank you, gonzo! (Apology for the double communication; was not not clear on how to communicate with you regarding your reply to an older post.) All the best, AJN
  3. This has been a continuous issue for myself as well — irrespective of the site downloaded from (MBG 2.3.14 is currently installed in Brave and Slimjet, along with MWB Premium 4.5.0.152; this has not been an issue with Firefox ESR). Is there a way to disable the download naming component in the MBG and defer to Chrono DM in the handling of d/l naming and end this annoying conflict? (If not, then could that configuration feature be added in a future release?) Thank you.
  4. Thank you again for your reply, and the additional details. (Can one get extra mashed potatoes with the chicken dinner? 😊) Cheers.
  5. Thank you for your reply. What is curious is that reliable download sites such as MajorGeeks and Softpedia report that MWB 4.3.0.210 was released today (19 FEB 2021), implying that this is a new version: https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/malwarebytes_anti_malware.html https://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware.shtml
  6. In a Windows 7 Pro x64 installation (with extended update support), the version of MWB Premium displayed in the app's "About" panel has been stuck at version 4.3.0.98 since it updated to that version some time ago (as is also displayed under Programs and Features in the Control Panel) . Manually installing version 4.3.0.210 (followed by a Windows restart) changed nothing. However, the actual installed version located in C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware — the Malwarebytes Setup File labeled as "mbuns" in the folder (195 MB) — is indeed the correct version (and it has been after each version update). Might this be an error in the Registry, and and if so can this be manually corrected, or would a complete removal, then reinstallation of MWB Premium be required to correct this? Thank you.
  7. Neil J. Rubenking at PC Magazine has been performing his own in-depth testing of anti-malware solutions for many years; here is his evaluation of MWB 4.0 (2019.11.13): https://www.pcmag.com/review/322060/malwarebytes-premium
  8. Would it be too great a burden on the devs to maintain the "classic" GUI and also create a new one, with the choice of which to display offered during installation (or perhaps the ability to toggle between them)?
  9. Hello nikhils, Thank you for your reply. Not to beat this to death, but when MWB version 3 replaced version 2, I do recall some grumblings about the changes to the GUI, but they ultimately made sense (eye-candy aside...). It is intuitive (both to myself and all those I know who use MWB) and relatively "clean". After all, this is a utility; we who have premium licenses do not frequently open it, and when we do, it is for specific purposes (configuration settings, logs, updating, etc.). Again, thank you for your reply. Cheers, AJN
  10. Greetings: Agree with the comments above. I've been using MWB since version 1 (and have several lifetime premium licenses). To borrow a phrase to describe the GUI of version 4 (beta) compared to version 3, "It wasn't broke" (there was nothing to "fix"). Simply put, the current GUI is atrocious; the old adage of "KISS" (Keep It Simple, Stupid) absolutely applies here. This GUI is cluttered with needless (and annoying) eye candy, is not intuitive and is frankly a pain to use -- whereas the version 3 GUI is straightforward and allows for easy deep-dives into the application to customize the configuration. Indeed, I have uninstalled version 4, and at present have no intention to use it in the foreseeable future (irrespective of whatever additional protection it may provide). Please seriously consider maintaining the current (version 3) GUI. Thank you.
