Aura Posted February 13, 2017 ID:1101583 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi checmate From what I know, Chameleon isn't available in Malwarebytes 3.0. It might be because it hasn't been adapted for it yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempLost Posted February 13, 2017 ID:1101602 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I did ask the question shortly after the release of 3.0 and was told by a staff member that it was planned to incorporate Chameleon at some stage. Can't find the post but that's my recollection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile360 Posted February 14, 2017 ID:1101732 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hey guys, I just wanted to add one minor point to this discussion. While the Chameleon capability of getting Malwarebytes started up on an already infected system where the malware is blocking us from running has not yet been integrated/included in 3.x, the Chameleon self-protection driver actually has. This means that for paid/trial users, they can enable the Self-Protection setting (enabled by default in 3.x) to have our Chameleon driver protect Malwarebytes' files, folders, registry keys and processes from being shut down, modified or deleted by malware (this driver/capability is one of the key functions of Chameleon to keep Malwarebytes running once it's able to bypass an already active infection).

I still use an antivirus with it though. thanks again everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
