Anti Rootkit Feature Disabled.

[moo4x]

I have MB Pro on 2 machines. Om one of them, even though I have "Scan For Rootkits" checked, it shows in the log as disabled. (see attached screen caps) That is NOT the case on the other machine.

 

I am running (on both machines) a 2nd anti-rootkit program, Greatis Reg Run. I have sent them their log, & they say I am clean.

 

Wondering what's up here? Is it a known bug, or might I have a problem?

 

Also, on this machine only, MBAE won't let IE run unless i shut MBAE off. It gives a generic stopped an exploit" message. I ONLY use IE for MS update, I usually use Firefox & occasionally Opera.

 

Win XP SP3, all current (lol) patches.

I also just noticed it shows "Startup Disabled". That is NOT the case. It is checked & it does start with Windows.

Hi:
 
I will reply to your many questions about different products (MBAM and MBAE) separately, to minimize confusion.

Both of those sound like cosmetic/logging bugs that are known to the QA/dev team and that are on the slate for a fix with a future version.
 
>>As for the other issues with MBAM --  on ONE rig at a time --  If rebooting the computer does not solve the issue with the anti-rootkit driver, please read the following and attach to your next reply the 3 requested logs - Diagnostic Logs (the 3 logs are: FRST.txt, Addition.txt and CheckResults.txt).

 

 

Thank you,
