Malwarebytes 3 beta forgets settings

[MilesAhead]

I am trying out the new Malwarebytes Beta released today.  It does not remember any settings.  Once I close it and open it, they are all back to defaults.  As example, I turn off tray notifications and stats gathering.  Right click the tray icon, select to close the program.  Run it.  All settings are back to default.  The only thing I have found it does remember are exclusions added to the list.

 

I see no Apply or OK Button when I change the settings.  If there is some hidden button I am supposed to press I do not see it.  Note that I am using it in Freeware mode.  So as soon as the scan is complete I close it from the tray.  I have also disable the Start With Windows.

I am running Windows 8.0 64 bit on a Toshiba Laptop with 4 GB ram.

Hello MilesAhead,

Have you rebooted yet after the initial install of 3.0.4?  If not, please reboot the machine, then change those settings again.  Do they hold for you now?

I don't remember.  If it suggested a reboot after install completion then I did. Otherwise I didn't.  At this point I reverted to 2.x since it does the job.  If I might suggest a feature improvement though, multiple selection of exclusion entries to remove with one button press.  Select one, press button, repeat, gets old fast.

There is a way to remove them all at once. If you click the uppermost box next to the column title Exclusions, all of the boxes will be checked at once and you can click the Remove Exclusions button.
