candidcactus Posted March 16, 2014 ID:803663 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I have used MalwareBytes free for several years. Just got a new computer (Win7 64 bit), and bought the Pro version and put in the registration info. Everything worked fine. However, when looking at SysInternals Process Explorer, all 3 programs associated with MalwareBytes (mbamgui.exe, mbamscheduler.exe, and mbamservice.exe) are listed as 32 bit programs.Do I need to reinstall, and if I do will all my registration information still work?

candidcactus Posted March 16, 2014 Author ID:803669 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks. What is running as a 64 bit program? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted March 16, 2014 Root Admin ID:803685 Share Posted March 16, 2014 That is correct all of the core pieces of MBAM are 32-bit as there is no need at this time to have a 64-bit graphical user interface. The underlying driver that is called to do the scan and removal is a 64-bit signed driver. Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
candidcactus Posted March 16, 2014 Author ID:803722 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I hope I am not being a pest. Just to be sure that I did not install the 32 bit program (I don't remember if I copied the installer program from another computer or downloaded it), is there a way to check that the driver is 64 bits?

Firefox Posted March 16, 2014 ID:803817 Share Posted March 16, 2014 If you installed the latest version of Malwarebytes which is currently 1.75.0.1300 then you have the correct one installed. The installer is the same whether you are on a 32bit or 64bit operating system. If you have a 64bit system it will use the correct drivers for detection and removal.
