Malwarebytes Does Not Like Asus Armoury Crate


risey

Recommended Posts

This is not a big deal but it is worth mentioning, Asus Armoury Crate (strange name I know) is an app that allows Asus users like myself to control various parameters and download latest drivers and tools for our motherboards, in this case the Max Hero Xiii. The problem I am having is that if Malwarebytes is on which it is all the time on my system then Armoury Crate will load fine but when I click to check latest drivers or addon software the page is blank. If Malwarebytes is off then this problem does not occur, I have tried adding Armoury Carte to the exclusion list but for some reason the problem still persists.

Like I said this is not a major issue as I can just turn MB off when updating drivers via Armoury Crate but I thought it is worth mentioning in case others have a similar issue and cant work out why...

Cheers

Ryan

Hi,

Thanks for posting in the Malwarebytes for Windows Help forum.

If you are having technical issues with our Windows product, please do the following:

Malwarebytes Support Tool - Advanced Options

This feature is designed for the following reasons:

  • For use when you are on the forums and need to provide logs for assistance
  • For use when you don't need or want to create a ticket with Malwarebytes
  • For use when you want to perform local troubleshooting on your own

How to use the Advanced Options:

Spoiler
  1. Download Malwarebytes Support Tool
  2. Double-click mb-support-X.X.X.XXXX.exe to run the program
    • You may be prompted by User Account Control (UAC) to allow changes to be made to your computer. Click Yes to consent.
  3. Place a checkmark next to Accept License Agreement and click Next
  4. Navigate to the Advanced tab
  5. The Advanced menu page contains four categories:
    • Gather Logs: Collects troubleshooting information from the computer. As part of this process, Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) is run to perform a complete diagnosis. The information is saved to a file on the Desktop named mbst-grab-results.zip and can be added as an email attachment or uploaded to a forum post to assist with troubleshooting the issue at hand.
    • Clean: Performs an automated uninstallation of all Malwarebytes products installed to the computer and prompts to install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows afterwards. The Premium license key is backed up and reinstated. All user configurations and other data are removed. This process requires a reboot.
    •  Repair System: Includes various system-related repairs in case a Windows service is not functioning correctly that Malwarebytes for Windows is dependent on. It is not recommended to use any Repair System options unless instructed by a Malwarebytes Support agent.
    • Anonymously help the community by providing usage and threat statistics: Unchecking this option will prevent Malwarebytes Support Tool from sending anonymous telemetry data on usage of the program.
  6. To provide logs for review click the Gather Logs button
  7. Upon completion, click OK
  8. A file named mbst-grab-results.zip will be saved to your Desktop
  9. Please attach the file in your next reply.
  10. To uninstall all Malwarebytes Products, click the Clean button.
  11. Click the Yes button to proceed. 
  12. Save all your work and click OK when you are ready to reboot.
  13. After the reboot, you will have the option to re-install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows.
  14. Select Yes to install Malwarebytes.
  15. Malwarebytes for Windows will open once the installation completes successfully.

Greetings,

It sounds like Malwarebytes' Web Protection component may be blocking the application.  Please see if excluding the ASUS app's main EXE as described under the Allow an application to connect to the Internet section of this support article allows it to work with Malwarebytes active.

Additionally, please check to see if there are any entries describing the block listed under Malwarebytes' history by opening Malwarebytes and clicking on the Detection History card on the lower left, then selecting the History tab.  Double-click an entry to view its details.

If you locate a report describing a block for ASUS's exe from Web Protection, please click the Export link at the bottom of the report and select Copy to Clipboard and paste its contents in your next reply so that the Research team may check to see if it is a false positive and get it corrected if it is.

Further details on viewing and exporting reports in Malwarebytes may be found in this support article if needed.

Could you turn off just one protection at a time and see which one is the issue please.

Do you have any other security products on the computer? Looking for known conflicts.
