Malwarebytes 3.0.5 Patch Release - now available

[bdubrow]

Hello!

We’ve just released a new v. 3.0.5 upgrade patch for Malwarebytes v. 3.0.

If you’re running any earlier 3.0 version you will be prompted to upgrade at some point over the next week or so.  But if you’d like to install the latest version immediately, you can download and install v. 3.0.5.1299 from this link.

This release resolves a number of items that have been reported since the initial launch of Malwarebytes 3.0:

• Fixed installer error that displayed 'External exception E06D7363'
• Fixed issue where updates would get stuck in 'Checking' state
• Fixed issue where “Real-Time Protection disabled” notifications would display throughout the day (NOTE: this notification may still be seen on reboot on some systems, but we’re working on another longer-term fix to address that separately)
• Fixed slow shutdown issue that could occur in Windows 7 with real-time Malware Protection enabled (NOTE: a corresponding fix for Ransomware Protection is still pending)
• Fixed conflict with Kaspersky that would not allow browsers to open properly
• Improved upgrade experience when installing over a previous version of the Malwarebytes anti-exploit technology

I know there are a number of other items still pending, but the team is actively working on getting those addressed as soon as possible, too!
