3.0 thoughts

I upgraded to 3.0 a few days .. I have since downgraded to 2x

I had the issue of the protection off dialog kept popping up which I know there working on

and I noticed during a 3.0 scan cpu usage would be at 100% during scan which does not happen with 2x

 

I figure there going to push out a an update for 2x users eventually when the kinks are worked out

Hi Angelus

The first issue is a known one and Malwarebytes is already working on a fix.

Same for the second one, though the high CPU and RAM usage should only be for the first scan, subsequent ones should take less resources.

tried multiple scans cpu usage still went to 100% during scan

While they are aware of high CPU use on some systems and continue to work on that, it could also be an installed AV that is causing some of this during the scan. What AV do you have installed and what version of Windows is this machine?

[Angelus]

no AV installed at all. I uninstalled Microsoft Security essentials when I installed MB 3 because its supposed to work as a Antivirus also or so I read.. and it's Windows 7

 

I figure MB3 isn't  completely baked yet cause there not putting it on the update server yet like they have done for other versions

There is no auto-upgrade from v2.x to v3.0 yet, you're right. Once the main issues reported by the users gets fixed, the auto-upgrade will be enabled, but not for now.
