New Tools in MWB Pro

[normar1949]

Have been on vacation, and no pc access for a few weeks. Upon checking my MWB Pro "More Tools" I see Chameleon, StartupLite, and Anti-rootkit have been added since my last visit. I assume after checking a few threads, I need to download and save all 3. Is Anti-rootkit something I need to run occasionly as a precaution or on an as needed basis. Once downloaded, does Chameleon do its job as needed, or should I save it to a flash drive also. I assume StartupLite needs to be run when downloaded. If these answers are somewhere already answered, a link to such a place will be fine.

The only tool that should need to be run regularly is MBAM itself. The other tools are more of an as needed basis only.

Please see if the following links help to provide you with more information.

Yes, excellent and informative link on Chameleon. The articles I read say that up to date versions of MWB, like my pro version, have Chameleon and Anti-rootkit "already built into the application." I assume that means that the download LINKS are what is built in, and I still have to do the download and save. Or does it mean that they are already in service and protecting my pc.

If you look in your installation folder you'll find many files that will launch the program if/when needed.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Chameleon

Yes, thank you. How about StartupLite and Anti-rootkit, are they installed, or need to be downloaded and saved.

They need to be downloaded if you want/need to use them.
