Version 3?

[innovateusa]

I talked to someone about a month ago and they told me there would be new versions of business and home version released together this month - I assume that's version 3, is that still on track?

Is 1.8 the major update that they told me about, I was under the impression that was version 3 and that the business and home version would be released at the same time? Does 1.8 have rootkit scanning like the home 2.1.8 version has?

I can't say for sure if this is the major update you been told about? Do you remember who you talked to or perhaps linked me to what you are referring to?

Also, MBAM for Business version 1.8 does not have rookit scanning.

Someone in sales at your company,  we are looking at adding MBAB business for many of our clients, but were told a new version of the both the consumer and business version was coming out.

I recommend talking to that sales rep again for more info since I do not know the specifics of what you guys spoke about.
