I couldn't perform a quick scan. Tried 3 times, MBAM will freeze after 5-10 secs on a random system32 dll file and then MBAM won't close either, it just hangs.

Only way out, the reboot button.

I think it has sth to do with direct disk access.

OS: Vista Business SP1

What other security do you have installed ?

[thanatos]

Windows Defender and Dr.WEB, but I disabled both just to make it sure.

Are there any command line parameters to do a quick scan with direct disk access off or is it built in? Just to make it sure if it is the cause.

1.20 was working fine, so it was sth in the step to 1.21.

Faster scan, but it froze on a file and nothing at all would kill it, had to log off and back on to rid of it. File was C:\Windows\Help\hsc.ink. Any ideas?

No idea what that is Tigger', it may be a possible HP printer related but not absolutely sure. Did MBAM quarantine it? if so restore it to a USB stick if you can or just back to its location and upload it for testing then zap it again with MBAM. All I can think off to do I'm afraid .

Hello Marcin

Vista SP1 32bit

Fresh install of Ver 1.21. Quick/Full scan works in safe mode(no problems), in normal mode the Q/F scans freeze/not responding to the button options need to re-boot to close program. I removed the file at the not responding point, rescan and it was'nt the problem. Disconnected from the net, all security programs are disabled when scaning. So far, it looks like its only affecting Vista OS.

On XP there are no problems or errors to report while scanning in Q/F scan.

[evilfantasy]

Internal update. No problems.

Just curious, but I noticed it appears MBAMCatchme has been replaced by MBAMSwissArmy!

Is it a change of name only, or something else?

[RubbeR DuckY]

Yes, SwissArmy is our new driver.

I am looking into the random freezes. Just because the program is displaying a file it is scanning, does not mean that is the actual file it is scanning. It only shows every few files it scans (for speed reasons).

[Lu Chin]

I tried this build but I still could not register because of the old bug where the registration info would not be stored in the Windows registry correctly if inside Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced (tab) -> Language for non-Unicode programs was set to Traditional or Simplified Chinese. Ever since I bought my MBAM license I had never been able to keep any build registered. Once I exited MBAM and ran it again it became unregistered.

Thanks.

[RubbeR DuckY]

Lu Chin,

Have I ever issued you your refund? We found the problem and are currently reprogramming the entire protection module. The fix should come around then.

[Yourhighness]

Hey Marcin, off to some function later on, but will give the new version a try asap with some badies. including checking the translation bit (double check lol). have a good one!

[Bio-Hazard]

Update went well. Quick Scan was quick

FYI, I encountered the Code5 error message when attempting to upgrade to v1.21 via the internal program updater. This is the second version update out of the last three wherein I have been unable to update via the updater. v1.20 worked okay, but v1.19 & 1.21 produced Code5 errors that required that I uninstall the existing version, then install the new.

Just wanted to report that to you. It's not a big deal or anything.

[mona7865]

No problems with updating to the new version 1.21 (Win XP - SP3).

Both scans ran without any problems.

FYI, I encountered the Code5 error message when attempting to upgrade to v1.21 via the internal program updater. This is the second version update out of the last three wherein I have been unable to update via the updater. v1.20 worked okay, but v1.19 & 1.21 produced Code5 errors that required that I uninstall the existing version, then install the new.

But I wasn't so lucky.

My laptop updated via the internal updater without any problems but I encountered the Code 5 error message when installing from a new .exe file on my main PC. I uninstalled and re-installed but got the same error. I rebooted and no change. I also tried installing v1.20 but couldn't get that to install either, it had previously been running on my PC since the day you released it. I also tried a partial install of v1.20, that is ignoring the Code 5 errors, and then tried to update via the internal updater but that didn't work either. I'm running XP SP3 on both PCs.

It's now uninstalled pending suggestions on how I can install without the Code 5 errors.
