MWAM self protection module question

[ghost22]

Now that some time has gone by with a couple of new updates to the new version 2.0 program..(now have 2.0.2.1012) what is the definitive answer to whether the module in question should be enabled "permanently " now....I know at the beginning it was causing conflicts,and was recommended to disable to rectify things....but is it now STABLE to leave on without problems.....OS is Win xp sp3

 

Thanks

With all due respect the link you posted doesn,t really tell me a whole hell of a lot on answering my question....It says under "Improvements"...quote---

 

"Enabling or disabling self protection should now be more resposive under MOST circumstances"

 

What I would like to know is if there is a RECOMMENDATION by the program authors/staff  on whether it should be permanently enabled??

I really think its going to be a matter of choice. You can enable it if you like and leave it that way, just remember that if you decide later to change anything related to Malwarebytes, like the name of the desktop shortcut, or delete the shortcut you will not be able to until you disable the protection. Some folks enable it then forget they did that, and try to delete the shortcut later and forget they had it turned on.

Okay,thanks for the feedback...will enable it now and hopefully won,t run into any problems down the road with it this way...

Well that certainly didn,t last long..After enabling and running all day everything was fine...UNTIL I shut down for the night and re-booted this AM....

MBAE would not start up....Re-booted again,and still no go...Ran test.exe to make sure...(not running) nor was it loaded in task mgr....

Disabled self protection again,rebooted,and MWAE is now working...

 

Conclusion: MWAM has a BIG conflict with MWAE....

Hi:

 

Please read the following and follow the steps to collect some diagnostic logs: Diagnostic Logs

 

Then, if you are experiencing problems with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM), please post those logs here.

If you are having problems with Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit beta (MBAE beta), then it might be a good idea to post them instead in the MBAE support section.

 

Thanks!

Here are the required diagnostic logs...I also posted in the MWAE forum as I dont know which program is causing this issue...

Well it seems that I got my answer after posting in the MWAE forum.....apparently it is a known bug in xp,and will be fixed with the next release ...

Looking forward to having them compatible with one another

Yep, I had forgotten about that -- and I forgot to ask if you were running XP.

It's been a known bug for a while that XP users with MBAM and MBAE cannot activate MBAM Self-Protection under the current MBAE build.

 

Good news to learn that there is a fix due soon.

 

Thanks for the follow-up.
