Who's on first with 3.0.6

[WilliamEdwards]

Guys, you really need to stop releasing beta/test/preview/whatever with the same silly version of software.  You've go a TON of numbers to pick from...you can even go rogue and add a LETTER or another node.  So far I have these different downloads that all say they are v3.06 in the GUI.  And then I have component versions too apparently sort out!

mb3-setup-consumer-3.0.6.1469.exe

mb3-setup-consumer-3.0.6.1469 CU3.exe

mb3-setup-consumer-3.0.6.1469 CU3 Feb24.exe

Your customers need to know they have the CURRENT version of the software without having to spend time trying to sort it out something that should be so simple.  There should be a version number posted of the last release and I should be able to compare and take action when I notice the dreaded "red x" or the software does not work at all.  I would be happy to let the software tell me of updates if I could just get a version of 3.0.x that actually worked reliably. If it were not for the security defects I would rip out 3 and put back in 2...Needless to say you're getting a black eye in IT...there is no way my boss is going to approve the deploy the Business release when it comes out next month since we're all struggling to get issues sorted out on our personal systems...

To your last point & as you likely know, business licensees have a entirely different product version than do home users.   

As far as home users with the regular Malwarebytes 3, the only places one sees mb3-setup-consumer-3.0.6.1469 CU3.exe, mb3-setup-consumer-3.0.6.1469 CU3 Feb24.exe , are here and only by virtue of seeing the Preview announcements here & then pulling down those.

The names are strictly only for the Previews.   The one marked with FEB24 being the most recent preview.

When the release version is finalized,  ( a) it will be announced here on the forum, (b) if you do not take any action to get any of these or when a newer update component package is finally approved for release, it would eventually be updated onto your machine along with a normal update run.

(c) when we have a finalized release for a new build, that will be announced on this forum.

 

I hope that clarifies things a  bit.   The 2 files with the "CU" in their names are previews for the consumer side.

Business licensed version for those using Malwarebytes for business are a separate product, current version 1.80

If you use Malwabytes in business setting, please see check the business section   https://forums.malwarebytes.com/forum/111-malwarebytes-anti-malware-for-business/

I hope that helps.

 

If you have a 3.0x version on your personal system, kindly provide me a summary of what is going on & what needs help, and run & provide this report.

This tool will collect some information on the installation of Malwarebytes and create a report I need to review: 

Download mbam-check.exe and save it to your desktop    from this link
On Vista/Windows 7, 8, 10, Right-click on *mbam-check-3.0.4.1002.exe*  & select Run as Administrator & allow to Run when prompted by User Account Control.

Reply YES when prompted to allow it to proceed.
Do have patience while the tool runs.  It may take a while, and will flash a command prompt window.  

It should then create a log file mb-CheckResult.txt on the DESKTOP
You should attach the *mb-CheckResult.txt* file located on _*your desktop*_ so that I can review.
