Networking Bandwidth dismal with Malwarebytes

[Brian Miler]

We recently purchased 10 licenses of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware running under Windows 7 (32-bit) and ran into problems almost immediately. The biggest problem we found was EXTREMELY SLOW NETWORK Performance over our Gigabit-based CAT-6 managed network. Prior to installing Malwarebytes, we were getting local bandwidth performance of ~ 250 - 390 Mbps. After installing the software, performance plummeted to ~ 14 - 27 Mbps (over 25 times slower). We finally just completely removed the software from all computers and now consider the purchase as a "total loss" for now; unless any solutions are available? It was just so slow that no one could get any work done. As the local IT guy, I was forced to remove the program until I can figure out what is wrong with the software.

Screen shots from Passmarks Advanced Networking Test Results (before and after) are attached.

Thanks for any suggestions on what could be causing the slowdown.

Greetings Mr Miler and welcome to Malwarebytes.

We have been able to replicate this issue in-house and it appears to be corrected by the developers. The upcoming version 1.46 of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware should include the fix.

Thank you for your patience.

@ exile360....

I know that version 1.45 just came out, but I have to ask, any word on a projected date on version 1.46?

would be nice to have a beta so people with the problem can test in the wild

V 1.45 was available for public testing (as a beta) prior to its release -

We could only work on the responses we got back from the testers that answered -

Thank you -

Has there been a date set for the 1.46 version to correct this problem?

Greetings

I don't have an exact date, but I have been told that it is a bugfix release, meaning it won't contain heaps of new features, just primarily fixes for current issues so as long as testing goes well (which shouldn't take too long at all since there's no new features to test, just testing to make sure the bugfixes work and that they don't create new issues), the release should be fairly soon.

If you require any further assistance please post.

Thanks
