Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.0.3 Released

[KBWarrior]

Try deleting this file: C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware\rules.ref

 

Then open MBAM and check for updates again.

 

This solution worked perfectly.  I'm currently running database version v3014.10.14.09, program version 2.0.2.2012.

Why didn't my MBAM premium notify me of a new release?  Ran update scan today, still no notice....

The program updates are being slowly released. If you want the latest version now you can download it directly from the link below and install it over the top of your current version.

  Huristic scan still slow at the last 1/4?   Thanks !!!!!! Nice work guys !!!!!!!!

same problem here since upgrade to now version 2 ! so how it goes now ?  

[onkelken]

I had the exact same issue as everybody else.  I was able to solve it by doing a clean uninstall and then a new install.  Be sure to have your ID and Key available to reactivate after you do the clean uninstall and new install.

the closing and re opening the program didnt work so i did a fresh install and not a problem since so if your having that issue try a fresh install and then it should work fine for you like it did for me and many others..

Just as a follow up to my first comment in this thread - scheduled scans are launching and completing just fine. I suspect it was the bad definition update that came just prior to the scan that stuffed the other scan up (the one that disabled website protection). It just happened to be the first scheduled scan since updating the programme earlier in the day.

One thing though, and this is feedback not a complaint, my threat scans (manual or scheduled) are taking twice as long. Prior to the new programme version they took 10-11 mins and scanned 311700ish objects. Since the new version they are consistently taking 22-23mins. It would appear the scan is getting hung up on the last quarter of the heuristics scan. It takes 11mins to get to three quarters of the way through the heuristics scan, and then suddenly gets very sluggish at around 255000ish objects/the last quarter. It takes another 11mins to complete the last bit. This seems to be regardless of whether I am doing anything on the laptop/have other apps open, or whether the laptop is otherwise idle.

 

As I said this is not a complaint and I don't even consider it an issue - I'm mentioning it simply because it's a bit strange and thought you might like to know about it.

Updated to the new release - checked the latest Update log. The Malicious Website Protection is shown as Stopped and Stopping. The little Red indicator is not on, the radio button is set to Enabled. I don't know if I am protected or not..

all good in my hood

I am having the same issue as others have reported.

I have already tried EVERYTHING mentioned in thread multiple times without any relief.

Please fix the bugs in the "new release" since it was working without any problems before the update to the latest release.

Alternatively, please help us to revert back to previous version while you work on the bugs in the new release.

[rbaboo]

This happened on all three of my computers.

If you have tried the fixes then it is not related to the corrupt database issue and something else is going on.

Well,same happened here.MBAM suddenly stopped the Website protection after the update.Had to clean out the whole thing and do a re-install now it works.

As a Malware Hunter you probably have a lot more computer experience then most. As such you may find that simply deleting the rules.ref file and then launching MBAM to get a new database is a much faster and easier method to correct this corrupt database issue.

If it's currently working though then there should be no need to do anything else at this time.

I just recently installed v2.0.3.1025 over-top of previous version (2.0.2.x). I have one problem. I have real-time protection disabled for now. Every time I log into Windows, I get popup notification that it is disabled. I did not get this on the previous version. How do I disable this popup? I have already disabled notifications in the settings. Thanks.

@prombamuser

Currently if you have your protection disabled (on purpose that is) the notification will not go away until you turn on the protection.

They are working on giving users more control on notifications in a future build.

[Francois_Blais]

You can deactivate the license to run in free mode. (no real-time protecton)

That way you won't get that notification.

[AdvancedSetup]

Just curious why one would purchase the product though if you want it to run in free mode.

[yardbird]

free mode. (no real-time protecton) 

[AdvancedSetup]

Correct, but then why pay for it. We offer that mode for no cost already.

First, I purchased it several years ago, so I have a lifetime license. The Pro version has the feature to update the def. automatically. The Free version does not have this feature. That is why I purchased it.

Second, I did not receive popup notifications on the previous version (2.0.2.x). So something was changed in the newest version.
