Camper Posted January 31, 2017 ID:1097733 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Please do not stop doing updates to version 2. I tried version 3 and everything slowed down. Went back to version 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted January 31, 2017 ID:1097740 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hi Camper Malwarebytes 2.2.1 will stop being supported on June 8th of this year, after which, the program won't be supported anymore (won't receive any updates). There's still 5 months before we reach that EOL, so there's plenty of time for Malwarebytes 3.0 to become more stable till then https://www.malwarebytes.com/support/lifecycle/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jforhan Posted May 28, 2017 ID:1130957 Share Posted May 28, 2017 No more updates after June 8th? What about the lifetime subscription I paid for? Are you implying you are not honoring these? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlafE Posted May 28, 2017 ID:1131009 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Lifetime subscription keys work also with version 3. Although I recommend to screenshot the current license information before installing the update, since I experienced some cases in which I had to contact Malwarebytes support to get the key/ID combo getting activated again. Since I have no possibility to check, which computer name is still registered with a certain license, it is hard to figure out, what exactly is or was wrong.

Malwarebytes 3.0 can simply be installed on top of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and a lifetime license will automatically apply to Malwarebytes 3.0 Premium. https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/191650-malwarebytes-3-frequently-asked-questions/?do=findComment&comment=1077436 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aura Posted May 29, 2017 ID:1131086 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Not interested in making bets to be honest. Everyone should move to Malwarebytes 3 has the technology it comes with offers more protection than Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.2.1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted May 29, 2017 ID:1131098 Share Posted May 29, 2017 To expand on what Aura mentioned above, version 3 has our latest Anti-Exploit and Anti-Ransomware technologies integrated into it along with our new signature-less/next-gen machine learning engine. It also has standard detection and remediation capabilities and heuristics technologies which are not included in 2.x. It offers far superior protection, detection and remediation capabilities in every way. Also, just to be clear, lifetime licenses for 2.x are compatible with version 3. Just as we did going from 1.x to 2.x, we're continuing to grandfather in all of our lifetime license users for version 3 and plan to continue to do so for every version we release in the future because our lifetime licenses include program version updates/upgrades, not just database updates.

Also from the same article: "As of 2016[update], machine learning is a buzzword, and according to the Gartner hype cycle of 2016, at its peak of inflated expectations.[12] Because finding patterns is hard, often not enough training data is available, and also because of the high expectations it often fails to deliver.[13][14]" So far , I am inclined to believe the buzzword story.

What happened with your theory that "Hi Camper Malwarebytes 2.2.1 will stop being supported on June 8th of this year, after which, the program won't be supported anymore (won't receive any updates)"??????

1PW Posted June 25, 2017 ID:1138125 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hello @lock I apologize for my obsolete boilerplate storage. Quote If I stay on MBAM 2.2.1 how long will I continue to receive protection updates?As stated right above and per our Home Products Lifecycle Policy after a product has reached End of Life ongoing protection updates are not guaranteed. Though MBAM 2.x and 1.x for Home Users have reached End of Life there is no firm date when we will shut off protection updates (aka definition files) and we plan to continue providing them to these legacy versions as usual for the near term. However, it is important to note that the Malwarebytes 3 engine supports newer, more efficient and more advanced detection techniques and rule syntax not available in the MBAM 2.x and 1.x engines. This means that going forward there will be certain types of rules provided for 3.x that will have no equivalent in the legacy versions. The overall protective capability of 3.x will continue to grow as we add even more 3.x-specific rules over time, causing the gap between what 3.x and 2.x/1.x detects and protects against to widen. As such, we strongly recommended that you consider upgrading to Malwarebytes 3. -Mr. Pedro Bustamante @pbust VP of Research and Products Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
