siliconman01 Posted August 23, 2019 ID:1330689 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I really, really like the new MB 4 interface. Takes a little click testing to find all the features; however, once a user becomes acclimated to the design concern, it is obviously a major enhancement over previous versions.

throkr Posted August 23, 2019 ID:1330734 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Hi, I installed MB4 Beta, as a test, to have a look at it. Installation over 3.8.3 without any problem. I like the new interface very much, find it quite easy to use. Made 2 scans (quick & threat) and both completed a little bit faster than with the previous version. No FP up to now.

bdubrow Posted August 23, 2019 ID:1330741 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Thanks for the positive feedback on the new interface @siliconman01 and @throkr. Our designers worked very hard on that. Keep us posted on any other feedback you might have as you continue using the beta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

throkr Posted August 23, 2019 ID:1330881 Share Posted August 23, 2019 One question: where / how can I see if the update package component is up to date (the main UI of previous versions had a line in the bottom right corner showing this information) ? I know these updates happen every hour (I configured this setting this way) and I can find the details under the "about" tab but that doesn't really tell me if I have the latest package ... Thanks for your time. 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted August 24, 2019 ID:1330887 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) Right now all you do is click the check for updates - the UI is still a WIP Edited August 24, 2019 by John L. Galt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krusty Posted August 24, 2019 ID:1330956 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) Guys, since I posted elsewhere I thought it only fair I post here too. What's up with the cartoon robot? This isn't something I would expect from a serious security program. Who are you targeting? Teenagers? It certainly doesn't instil any sense of comfort in me (or others). Thanks for considering.

Gt-truth Posted August 24, 2019 ID:1330969 Share Posted August 24, 2019 @Krusty this is not a problem with the new GUI for the new release of MBv4beta . I myself I like the new GUI of the MB version 4 beta and if you look at the Malwarebytes’s website then you’ll see the almost the same and I like this on MB website too and the Malwarebytes designer team are still working hard on the GUI . hope this to helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new GUI aside from the robot is fine, but including the robot makes the whole program look like a kids toy and not a serious anti-malware removal tool. If MalwareBytes want to be taken seriously by adults then the robot should go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertiy Posted August 24, 2019 ID:1330976 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Come on guys. What's with the cartoon figures? Just leave it blank like the other tabs. Otherwise, looks good...clean and concise. Also, like MB promised sooooo long ago, to allow the users to clear history. Do not see it from the screenshots. I have to do it manually.

Robertiy Posted August 24, 2019 ID:1330979 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Seriously, robot looks like from the Japanese anime series of the 60's and 70's. This is the 21st century! Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye Posted August 24, 2019 ID:1330991 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Kudo's to the designers that work hard on the new GUI. Some like it and some don't, can't satisfy everyone. To me it's what's under the hood that counts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted August 24, 2019 ID:1330997 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I like Zero (that's the robot's name), personally. I think he makes Malwarebytes stand out more, especially these days where nearly every app (including security apps) look virtually identical with flat, featureless UIs and solid color controls with no dimension, shading or gradients, and with tons of blank space making them look more like boring websites than applications (I know this is by design and is precisely the look they're all going for because 'modern' and 'cloud' and 'mobile' and 'scaling', but as a design language I personally think it just sucks and it's too often hard to tell the difference between information in such UIs and their controls, but maybe that's just me). In contrast, having Zero there breaks things up a bit and adds a little flavor and style to it without obstructing the flow or usability of the application/UI and I personally find it reassuring seeing him standing there like a silent sentry guarding my system against any would-be threats and attackers. His appearance on the Dashboard is very muted and low-key and I think it works fine and helps communicate the purpose of Malwarebytes to use advanced future-looking technology to provide powerful defense against online threats (the clouds obviously represent the web, the domed city represents our systems, and Zero standing, shield in hand, represents Malwarebytes standing guard with his thumb raised to reassure us that everything is good because he's got our backs).

boombastik Posted August 24, 2019 ID:1331006 Share Posted August 24, 2019 In the version 3 u can lock the option with a password that don't exist in version 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted August 24, 2019 ID:1331011 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Yes, there are actually a lot of functions missing in the UI for v4, however I've been assured that it is still a work in progress so I expect that most if not all of the v3 functionality we were all used to will return by the time the new product is released.

roger_m Posted August 25, 2019 ID:1331046 Share Posted August 25, 2019 It's a shame that the scroll bar issue, which I was told when the beta of v3 was released, would be fixed, still persists in this new version. It would be nice too, if the promised feature to be able to select individual threats was also implemented, particularly when even rogue antimalware software has this feature. I think these two things, are much more important that a UI redesign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Thanks for the reply. When you click above or blow the bar in the scrollbar, instead of the usual Windows behaviour of moving up a down page, the bar moves to where the mouse pointer is. The second issue, is that there no way to select threats individually. There no option to be able to select or deselect every file and registry key belonging to a particular threat, other than manually clicking on every individual files and registry key that belongs to a particular threat. This is a serious limitation. Due to the very aggressive detection of PUPs, there are often programs detected, that I don't want to quarantine.
