twl845 Posted April 17, 2008 ID:16482 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Can someone explain how you enter an object to be ignored into the "Ignore List"? As a newbie to MBAM I can't figure out how it's done. There's no option at the scan window that I can find, and none at the Ignore list window other than how to remove an entree. Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanInMontana Posted April 17, 2008 ID:16521 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hehe. That's OK we are here to answer as best we can. A note about how the forum works, you don't have to quote every post using the "Reply button. Look just a bit farther and you will see two reply options, Fast Reply and Add Reply Those will allow a post without quoting the entire previous post.

twl845 Posted April 17, 2008 Author ID:16525 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Thanks for the info. Quoting has become a force of habit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanInMontana Posted April 17, 2008 ID:16534 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Opps If you prefer to quote that's your privilege. I see many new to this forum that just don't see the other options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted April 17, 2008 ID:16575 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I've seen a lot of people who use the quotation button out of habit, and I suspect it come from participating in forums with high traffic - you're almost always forced to use the quotation button, primarily because there may be a few or several posts in between the one you are replying to and the your current post, but also because it makes it easier to keep track of which post you are replying to when you reply to multiple posts.I have seen people do this at CoU, at shemes.com, at NeoWin, heck, every single forum I have ever visited, participated in, moderated, and been an admin at - and this goes back to FIDO net BBS systems on dialup....It's just one of those things.@twl845 - BTW, one of the kewl features of this board software is that you an tick multiple posts to be quoted, and then reply to them all in one post....unfortunately, one of the limitations is that you cannot use the quote button in conjunction with the "Fast Reply" function, you must use the 'Add Reply" function.

volvogirl Posted May 14, 2008 ID:18187 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I'm new too. I'm glad you figured it out. Could you share w/ me? I can't figure it out. Can you put items in the ignore list in the free version? HOW?Christine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you put items in the ignore list in the free version? HOW?ChristineHi Volvogirl and welcome to Malwarebytes. First what is it you want to ignore? MBAM is fairly good at not flagging anything period unless it is actually malware. Second I think it's a matter of right click and choose add to ignore list. I've never actually had the occasion to use the feature. My concern is your wanting to ignore something you shouldn't. B) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to ignore this. I like having the temp on my taskbar by the clock and getting weather alerts. Still haven't figured it out. Right click does nothing. Maybe I'm not clicking in the right spot? Maybe it's not available in the free version?Christine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What browser do you use? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvogirl Posted May 17, 2008 ID:18368 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I know it's adware, adware.hotbar, but it comes from THE WEATHER CHANNEL DESKTOP which I want to use. It doesn't seem to be hurting anything. CAN'T ANYONE JUST TELL ME HOW TO ADD IT TO THE IGNORE LIST, PLEASE!! When it finds it and if I quarentine or delete it, I have to re download The Weather Channel again.Christine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second I think it's a matter of right click and choose add to ignore list.and here When the results list is displayed, right click on any given item and click Add to Ignore List.There is no need to use all caps or an adware program to get what you want. It doesn't seem to be hurting anything, is exactly how things do get hurt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvogirl Posted May 17, 2008 ID:18376 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Sorry for shouting. I'm in several forumns and this is the first time I ever used caps. I know it's rude, but I'm frustrated. As I said...When I right click nothing happens, I don't get any choices. I bet it's not available in the FREE version. Unless you can tell me exactly where to right click.Christine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosirrah Posted May 17, 2008 ID:18377 Share Posted May 17, 2008 There is no difference between free and paid when it comes to ignore .You have to complete a scan and click show results first .Next right click the entries you want to ignore next time and select "add to ignore list" .If you do not see a list of options when you click then you are using left click , make sure to use the right mouse button .

nosirrah Posted May 17, 2008 ID:18378 Share Posted May 17, 2008 It looks like the picture attached .As you can see this is the free version . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted May 18, 2008 ID:18380 Share Posted May 18, 2008 And, since the Weather Channel Desktop Edition seems to want to use a malicious adware in their program, perhaps you should consider an alternative - like Weather Watcher - which uses the same data from the Weather Channel but contains no adware nor spyware nor any other sort of Malware. Oh, and did I mention it is being actively developed?Use hte link I provided - if you go to the main home page Mike Singer is advertising more his newer product, Weather Watcher Live, which uses data from Weatherbug, which can be more accurate but at teh same time can also be more inaccurate - and on top of that the Weatherbug site, which the program links to, tends to less judicious in their advertising....

Hardhead Posted May 18, 2008 ID:18383 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Also you might like to try Weather Pulse which is my personal favorite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvogirl Posted May 18, 2008 ID:18408 Share Posted May 18, 2008 It looks like the picture attached .As you can see this is the free version .Yes is it the free one because it has the red purchase underlined? BUT yours also says [Developer Mode Enabled] on the title bar. Mine doesn't. I don't get any list showing when I right click. (yes I do know right from left, been using computers since dos early 80s.) I like to figure things out, but I guess I'll give up on this one. Thanks for the picture, at least I know what I'm missing and what it should look like.Christine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosirrah Posted May 18, 2008 ID:18410 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Developer mode is because I have it turned on.That has nothing to do with ignore , that only shows more info on what is detected .I need you to post a screen shot of what happens when you right click a scan result just like I did in the picture .

volvogirl Posted May 18, 2008 ID:18415 Share Posted May 18, 2008 OK Just to let you know.....I was running the quick scans. So I ran the full scan (took over 1hr) and when the list came up then I was able to right click and get the choices. Right Click doesn't seem to work after doing a Quick scan.Bye-Bye,Christine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 19, 2008 Root Admin ID:18445 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thanks for the update. The Quick Scan right click add works for me. I don't use Full Scan as it rarely is needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosirrah Posted May 19, 2008 ID:18449 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Ignoe is not attached to any mode or versio . It is for ignoring scan results , it does not care how you got the scan results .I need to know something , does right click work for other things ?If you right click your desktop do you get a list of options with properties at the bottom ?

volvogirl Posted May 19, 2008 ID:18479 Share Posted May 19, 2008 OK close this out. I just ran a Quick scan and was able to right click and get the list. Don't know what was going on before, but it's settled down now.Thanks for the help.Christine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
