  1. I've been locked out, I have tried so many times.  I have Malwarebytes Premium (I believe it's a lifetime license for several devices), I have the License ID and Key numbers but no matter what I do I can't get in.  I can't even retrieve a forgotten password as my email address changed since buying it and those reset emails go into a thin air as far as I know.   That's my quandary.   I sent an email to support but thus fare haven't heard back apart from an auto-response.

  2. McAfee actually do have a free Cloud AV (Google it) - AV only - no firewall or browser protection.   From what they've told me when I used to Moderate there, the major software suites are lightening up as they now, after an initial full scan, only check something when it's used.  A scan will only look for newly used items and in each instance it checks with a Cloud database.

    As per that link you posted earlier, I've added exceptions in MBAM, McAfee and Windows Defender.  All is well.

    Thanks  :D

    Hi,

    Malwarebytes is basically an Anti Malware software and it can be easily used with any of the AV providers.

    Regards

    Thanks.  That always used to be the case but MBAM Pro advertises itself as:

    Malwarebytes for Windows is a next-generation antivirus replacement. The first of its kind for home users, Malwarebytes for Windows employs four independent technology modules—anti-malware, anti-ransomware, anti-exploit, and malicious website protection—to block and remove both known and unknown threats.

    ...which sort of threw me off balance as they've never stated that before.

  4. I am a long-time McAfee software fan, as well as a fan of MBAM Pro, and am currently using their latest LiveSafe software.  I read your FAQ's saying how MBAM works differently from a regular signature-based AV, so does that mean the two can run alongside or not?

    BTW McAfee are switching to a new LAM or partly Cloud-based system.

  5. Well I just very gingerly enabled self-protection (both boxes) and nothing has happened, so maybe it was a case of bad timing and it possibly clashed with something else?   If you really do want me to go through that again I will but McAfee Forums, where I admin, have just upgraded their board and chaos reigns supreme as half of what worked before no longer exists.....am run ragged at the mo.   Tell me if you reallly would prefer I go ahead and do it and maybe later or in the morning I will.

  6. The DEV's would like a little more info if you don’t mind…

     

    Can you look at your system event logs, and look about the time when this happened and see if there are any events logged for chameleon or anything related to Malwarebytes.

     

    Yes quite a lot

     

    You also mentioned that you just reinstalled Vista SP2 - was it updated (Windows update) prior to the crash?

     

    Fully up to date in all aspects.

     

    Also, can you verify what version of mbamchameleon.sys is there? (c:\windows\system32\drivers\mbamchameleon.sys - look at properties->details)

     

    I'm afraid it isn't much help but as I just installed MBAM again and up-dated it it should be the latest, no?

     

     

     

    Thanks
