Nikilet Posted March 31, 2014 ID:811311 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I thought MBAM included Chameleon, but when my new version 2.0 opened today to do a scan there were notations on the bottom of the window about this Chameleon so I followed the arrows and ended up downloading a zip file to my desktop. I guess I'm not positively sure if I should run it. The appearance of this took me a bit by surprise as I wonder why I didn't run into this feature when I installed the new 2.0 over my paid 1.75 a few days ago.

daledoc1 Posted March 31, 2014 ID:811312 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi: Chameleon is a specialized tool that can be used to run MBAM on a severely infected machine.Components of it also load when MBAM Self-Protection (new to version 2.00) is enabled.So, no, you ought not to need to run it routinely.

Nikilet Posted March 31, 2014 Author ID:811316 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks! Apparently I should just have access to it in the case of a bad infection that would not allow MBAM to run. Is that correct? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daledoc1 Posted March 31, 2014 ID:811319 Share Posted March 31, 2014 You have access to it, as it is built in to MBAM. But I'll leave the more technical explanation to those more qualified. Cheers! daledoc1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwharold Posted March 31, 2014 ID:811323 Share Posted March 31, 2014 If you want a non-zip version, then follow these instructions: Go to your START button, then ALL PROGRAMS. Look for the MBAM listing. Put you mouse cursor over it and a new window appears with 4 listings. The first one is called TOOLS. Double click on it and a new window will appear that contains a shortcut to Chameleon. Send a copy direct to your desktop. Now you will have quick access directly to Chameleon on your desktop without downloading a zip file. That is what I have done and it works perfectly. I hope this will help you.
