I made a portable version

[seji]

First off, I love malwarebytes, and have been recomending it to clients for years.

I was reading the forums, and saw that there is no plans for a portable version.

So I just started making one. (Im off to test it in a minute)

I wondered why a portable version was not desired? Does this type of software not fit the company business model or something?

Since I am going to re-package the free version, and utilize some GNU software inthe process, to (add features to the free version), what are the rules on redistributing the software. I am only going to add optional scheduling, to the portable version.

This spawned out of working on a korean laptop with windows 8, that wont boot into safemode, and prevents access to management consoles.  So everytime I try to run something, I get shut down.

 

I may also make a boot disk and feature a portable version of malware bytes. but im not sure yet. more testing required.

 

Ill check back later, let me know.

That may violate the End User License Agreement (EULA). 

It also will cripple its capabilities as you are not able to implement the Malwarebytes' Swiss Army Knife.

You really should not be doing this.  It might be okay if its purely only for your own use by just you and you won't be using it on other machines.

Im never certain,

In Linux Communities, to say, hey, i fixed this problem, and want to share, isnt frowned on. So i wont put it up on my website for distribution.

Ill use it when I need it only.

I've obsurved no lack of functionality thus far.

Hi, seji:

 

No matter how well-intentioned you might be, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is not open-source software.

 

So, as DHL advises, you might very well have violated the program's EULA, regardless of whether your version works or not.

Until the MBAM staff arrive to provide you with official feedback, please refer to this KB topic:

Where can I obtain a copy of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware EULA?

 

Thanks for your understanding,
