TONYBEE Posted February 13, 2017 ID:1101607 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Four weeks now since I installed Malwarebytes 3, and still I have no problems using it. It always opens with no question mark, everything is activated. It is always up to date, all protections are on. Could my good fortune be down to the fact that I am running no other antivirus software apart from Windows Defender. My windows firewall is on, and that is all I use to keep my computer safe. I may be misguided but most of the problems that users are experiencing seem to be connected with other well known virus and malware solutions. I trust Malwarebytes. Just my humble observations.

bdubrow Posted February 13, 2017 ID:1101609 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Thanks for the feedback, TONYBEE. I appreciate your chiming in! Which operating system are you running? It seems that this also plays a role in users' experiences. Would be interesting to know what version of Windows you have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONYBEE Posted February 13, 2017 Author ID:1101610 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Sorry bdubrow, I should have mentioned my stats. Windows 10 Home 64bit, Version 1607, OS Build 14393.693 Pentium Dual-core T4300, 4.00GB ram. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONYBEE Posted February 13, 2017 Author ID:1101618 Share Posted February 13, 2017 And why would admin be so kind as to give me a doggie biscuit, as if I would accept it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadinolf Posted February 13, 2017 ID:1101623 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) This is day 4 of no problems. I have 4 Win 7 computers that have the latest version of MWB installed. Yes, I am happy. Problems are back. No I get the task bar message that Protection is disabled and the program shows "Awesome! You're protected".

nov1 Posted February 14, 2017 ID:1101629 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'm currently running MB 3.0.5 1299, which currently seems to be working fine for me at the moment. As for Windows Defender though, I wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it. I think there are far better solutions out there IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
throkr Posted February 14, 2017 ID:1101653 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Hi, Running MB 3.0.6.1469 on Win 10 1607 (Build 14393.693) Pro x64 without problems (except the imaging issue with Macrium Reflect but a fix is on its way). IMHO : Windows Firewall + Windows Defender + Router + "smart" surfing and you're safe. Malwarebytes 3 brings a good additional security layer on top ...

TempLost Posted February 14, 2017 ID:1101676 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Running MB 3.0.6.1469 Premium on Windows 7 x64 Home Premium, alongside the new free version of Avast (with the unnecessary crud removed), CryptoPrevent 8.0 Premium and Casper 10 Backup as my security solutions. After some teething troubles it's been pretty stable although I had to do a clean reinstall a couple of days ago after the RTPs decided not to engage reliably on startup. That seems to have cured the problem for the moment. The issue of bloating of the System Volume Information Folder remains but I'm sure we'll see a solution eventually. As things stand, I'm happy with the product but look forward to a stable release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francois_Blais Posted February 14, 2017 ID:1101746 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Running fine here as well on a Windows 7 Professional x64 PC, along with MSE. Latest version of MBAM, 3.06.1469. I noticed a clear general slowdown when I activated the license though. It was running in free mode beforehand, since a few weeks. (I was merely updating to the latest build when they were available, but always in free mode after the bad experience with the first rev 3 launch.)

frozen Posted February 14, 2017 ID:1101757 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I am still seeing issues with Windows7 Pro systems. Within the last 4 days I have seen systems whose protection refuses to enable on boot up properly 2 of the 3 required a reboot the third one I was able to close MBam down and restart the app to get the protection running which was web protection. In the other 2 systems I believe it was malware protection. These issues are always occurring when the system is either waking up from sleep or booting up from a complete power off. All of these were using 3.0.6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmcjr Posted February 14, 2017 ID:1101794 Share Posted February 14, 2017 After some initial problems with 3.0.5 and 3.0.6 which I received help correcting from MBAM staff, I have experienced no further problems and 3.06 is running fine. I did experiment with Settings>Protection>Startup Options which seemed to work for me. I have confidence that the next release will address these problems. Thank you MBAM.

MDM Posted February 14, 2017 ID:1101839 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'm very satisfied with 3.06 and have had no issues at all. I'm running it on 25 computers. 2 computers are running Windows XP Pro that are 10 years old. 4 computers are running Windows 7 Pro that are 6 years old. 19 computers are running Windows 10 Pro that are 1 year or less. I'm also running AVG for anti virus protection on all computers. I trust Malwarebytes completely and would like to thank you MBAM for a job well done.

Telos Posted February 15, 2017 ID:1101890 Share Posted February 15, 2017 3.0.6 1269 now back up and running fine here (except for the Macrium Reflect issue). Originally I was unable to deactivate self-protection, but after some brute force tactics, my reinstall seems serviceable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
