Malwarebytes Browser Guard crashing causing Chrome to crash
captfbgnet replied to Pebbled's topic in Chrome
Same here -
exile360, your answers are extremely complete, detailed and easy to understand. I hope there is a way for your answers to be 'pinned' somehow to these types of questions. Thanks again.
-
Thank you exile360 for a most in depth and complete answer. Great job. One question, if one is using a vpn (NordVPN for example) is one faced with the same issues that "guard' protects from or does the 'vpn' protect against these types of attacks because of the encryption and the 'false' IP address??
-
Rather than using another 'extension' any chance that this 'Guard' will be "built-into" the premium version of Malwarebytes at a future date? So I guess the question is, why not include it in as a Malwarebyte update?
-
Is malwarebytes Browser Guard included/part of the Malwarebytes premium app or does it have to be installed in 'addition to' ?

Can not connect to server
captfbgnet replied to captfbgnet's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
Followed your step # 1 and it worked! Thanks for the support and very quick response. It was great and much appreciated. -
Have licensed premium version (Win7 64x). Had update program notification this morning. After doing so, the program won't start and says 'can't connect to server". Please help ASAP. Tks..

Same experience as Sarton with MSE and MBAM. Have both running for yrs and no problems. Just make sure 'schedule scans' are NOT schedule at the same time. I too remember reading something about MSE not being as capable as other antivirus programs in real-time detection and protection. My take away after reading that article was to always practice good internet surfing, email, opening attachments, etc etiquette. MSE is user-friendly and doesn't take over your computer like so many other antivirus programs do. True it may not be in the top rated programs, but running alongside of MBAM, I haven't had any problems. Just my $.02 worth.

Quick Scan screen
captfbgnet replied to captfbgnet's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
Tks Firefox. It worked. I thought I had already tried that setting, but got no results. This morning however, I checked the 'log file' and found that the program ran on schedule and then 'disappeared' as I had hoped. -
Quick Scan screen
captfbgnet replied to captfbgnet's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
WIN7:SP1:IE9: Is there a way to have MBAM 1.51 close the 'quick scanner screen' after the scan finishes (when no threat is found), rather than having to do it yourself? I tried various scanner settings to do this (no boot however) but can't find the right setting. I have scanner settings to run automatically, but would like the scanner screens to close if no threats are found. A log file is still created. -

Run-time error '453'
captfbgnet replied to twellve's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
[edit] original post removed and the following posted by Ron Lewis Thank you for taking the time and caring to help others captfbgnet. However posting emails in public is actually protected and not allowed in some countries. In most cases simply restarting the computer will work, in others the MBAM-CLEAN process as explained above should correct it. Thank you again. Cheers -
False Positives for first time
captfbgnet replied to captfbgnet's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
Seems like an "axe solution since all worked well with 1.46 & 1.50. The 'on-going issue seems to be with IOLO (System Mechanic) changing the above two reg entries, and MBAM scan thinks original keys are 'infected because of the change by IOLO and thus the error message. Toggleing back and forth with both programs has verified this problem. MBAM simply needs to 'ignore' this issue , but does not. Can you think of anything else beside the above? Thanks -

Win 7; MBAM 1.50.1: Same problem here. Although problems added to the "Ignore" tab ( and they show up there) a re-scan finds the same issue. They don't appear to be 'ignored.' For me, both issues are the result of some software changes ( IOLO) but not REAL threats, thus the use of the "Ignore" tab. Thanks for any help -
