[Attachment download filenames]

Ok, no problem. I've haven't noticed it with any recent downloads.

[Attachment download filenames]

Old attachments seem to be downloaded as "msg-[NUMBERS].ipb" instead of the original filename.

Could they be set to download as the actual filename ?

Thanks,

[Trouble with updates]

I am having the same problem for about two weeks now, where MBAM is updating successfully but reporting "unable to access update server".

I first noticed it after I installed and then uninstalled Malwarebyte's Anti-Exploit, so I'm wondering if there could be a configuration issue / bug somewhere.

I ran through the Removal at https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/146017-mbam-clean-removal-process-2x/, and my system time seems to be correct so I don't see what the issue would be other than a bug somewhere in MBAM.

 

Another possible reason could be that I installed MBAM from an unpriviliged user account by elevating to admin account with UAC password prompt, and I have been running / updating MBAM via the unpriviliged user. It could indicate a misconfiguration since the user running it is technically different than the user it was installed under. This seems to be an issue with a lot of installed programs in Windows when installing from elevated admin UAC prompt.

Unix OSes seem to do a much better job with not causing problems by running mostly as unpriviliged and using su , etc.

Did you disconnect the machine from the internet after you discovered it was infected?

[Malwarebytes on VirusTotal or another online virus scanning service?]

Hey,

I was wondering if for the sake of malware research and detection that MBAM could perhaps join the vendors that are included in online virus-scanning services such as VirusTotal, Jotti, and MetaScan.

I think this would greatly increase your ability to collect new samples and threat intelligence.

VirusTotal also has a new design style for their webpages.

[Change Context Menu Scans]

Hello trojkilla,

The scanning process doesn't actually work that way. What you're anticipating is a flat file scan which your Anti-Virus would be better suited for. We try to detect and remove current infections not flat files, though we do detect many that is not what MBAM is really designed for. Rarely do you have an infection from a file that does not have some link back to the registry as it would have almost no way to activate, thus scanning the registry is a very important part of the detection routine.

Please see the following post for a little more information on scanning.

Thank you

Thanks!!

I stand corrected.

[Change Context Menu Scans]

Hello,

I have noticed that whenever I right click on a file for a context menu scan, MBAM starts the scan by saying "enumerating registry objects....", as it does for a quick or full scan.

This is unnecessary if only a few files are being scanned on demand.

I think you should simplify the context menu scanning.
