PRO Version......

[Warthogg]

What is this Pro version ?? I go to the download site but see no mention of Pro. I've paid and am running 1.46. Is this the "PRO" version ??

Confused......as usual.

Hello Warthogg, and welcome to the forums here at Malwarebytes.org and thank you for your purchase

If you entered your ID and KEY after clicking the register button and you see a red & white M in your task tray, then yes, you are running the pro/paid version.

I hope that answered your question and let us know if you have any more!

As a side note, when replying, please use the "ADD REPLY" button located at the bottom of the page.

Thank you

Hello Warthogg,

Pro version unlocks the protection module that can prevent the malware starting to run in realtime. In addition, there is a second layer protection - IP protection - to prevent you from visiting Malicious Websites. A nice scheduler is also added for you to schedule the time of scanning and updating.

Apart from the way mountaintree16 said above, you can check whether you have a Pro version by these two ways:

1. • If you download MBAM, it is free version. You can see the words "Purchase our powerful protection module to actively protect your system from malicious software. ..." in the protection tab.
     
   • If you have registered, then there's no need to enter again (apart from performing a clean install or running mbam-clean.exe if asked). You can see the words "Thank you for your purchase. ..." in the protection tab.
     

[*]You can see your ID and Key (masked by x) under disclaimer at the "About" tab.

an example:

blau blau ...

...

... the use of this program.

ID: AAAAA-11111

Key: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

Please post back if you have further questions.

Thank You

Edit - add a sentence.

Don't believe I have registered. Thanks guys and I'll be back.

[Warthogg]

Well crap. First of all says I'm running 1.45. ID is visible but the Key is all xxxxx.

Click on the update tab, and then click on check for updates, it will upgrade you to version 1.46

Then have a look over How to use the new scheduler to setup automatic updates and scans.

[Warthogg]

OK guys, I have turned on the software and now see my Red "M" in the tray. Update says I have the latest data base available. Had already used the scheduler. Pretty straight forward even for me.

Should I have to enable protection with each start-up ?? Yes "Start With Windows" is checked.

[Firefox]

Yes it is best to enable it at start up.

[Warthogg]

BUT should it not start-up with Windows ??

-----------------------------------

And Firefox, what in whole wide world of sports are you doing running something from McAfee ????

[Firefox]

Some folks choose to not start with windows (not know to me why either)

I run multipule computer all with different AV programs. (most of the av programs I use are on Corp. networks) I am a consultant so I have to be familiar with most Corp Editions of AV's.

[Warthogg]

Understand and thanks MUCH guys !!
