yardbird Posted June 22, 2009 ID:92237 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum! You should be able to put version 1.38 right on top of ver. 1.37 Please post back and let us know how it goes. Your AV and /or Firewall might ask you about the malwarebytes file, some called mbam.exe Let your AV & Firewall Trust them. Feel free to post any more questions.

RoninV Posted July 3, 2009 ID:95479 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Never had much reason to use Malwarebytes on a multi-user computer, but now I have the inkling. If MBAM is installed, by an Admin level user, on a multi-user computer (XP, Vista, 7), for use by the Admin only, will it scan ALL accounts or just the Admin's account?

yardbird Posted July 3, 2009 ID:95482 Share Posted July 3, 2009 It should scan all the accounts, unless you have blocked accounts for admin only. I believe once it starts scanning, it scans the whole pc. If your are a Corporate user or have a Corporate license. Send a PM to AdvancedSetup EDIT: heres a list of whats out there & what mbam scans:http://www.malwarebytes.org/malwarenet.phpThe Realtime Protection Module uses our advanced heuristic scanning technology which monitors your system to keep it safe and secureLet us know if we can be of any further help anytime! regards...

exile360 Posted July 4, 2009 ID:95537 Share Posted July 4, 2009 A side note, on multiuser PC's MBAM is only able to scan the files and folders of other users, it does NOT scan their registries as it is only able to check the registry hive that is active (which would be that of the currently logged on user).

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted July 4, 2009 Root Admin ID:95573 Share Posted July 4, 2009 That is true of the USER Profile Hive only. We do scan all the other hives and clean as required. Typically the only thing that might be left over are minor registry entries in a user profile hive, rarely able to do anything with it due to the files being removed.

RoninV Posted July 5, 2009 ID:95867 Share Posted July 5, 2009 So this "limitation" of scanning the active registry hive only should not be a issue? I guess I'm looking to limit which users have access to MBAM, since putting it in the hands of the wrong user could be a bad thing. By simply limiting its use to the personal computer's administrator level user, makes for more peace of mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted July 5, 2009 Root Admin ID:95911 Share Posted July 5, 2009 That may be an option in the Corporate version in the future but not sure if it will be for a home version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
