MB4 version?

[John A]

Clean install yesterday

MB4 UI reports version 4.0.1.31 is installed. 

Belarc reports the following version(s?) are installed:

Malwarebytes - Malwarebytes version 4.0.0.62
Malwarebytes - Service version 3.2.0.853 (64-bit)

Install file MBSetup.exe also shows 4.0.0.62 (see attached)

Greetings,

This is quite normal since individual file versions are worked on and iterated separately from the main product/installation package itself (this is also how component updates work, which patch only individual files/components of the product).  I expect we'll see several file version changes throughout the beta cycle leading up to the final release depending on which components of the product are being worked on.

edit: It also depends greatly on where tools like Belarc read the product version information from; the main product version is always available in the 'About' tab along with details about the component and database versions, and the main product version should also be listed in Programs and Features if that column is active/enabled.

Thanks Exile360. Yes the correct version is listed in Programs and Features.

Excellent, that explains it then

It must be that Belarc is relying on individual file version information or some other info for some reason then and they will likely revise their database once the final build of Malwarebytes v4 has been released and the dust has settled.
