Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.51.1 released

[Dante24]

V1.51.1 hangs here while scanning memory (the first step of Quick Scan), apparently at "C:\Program Files\Avira\AntiVir Desktop\avguard.exe" (the window soon becomes unresponsive). I don't think it's Avira's fault, the previous version of Anti-Malware worked fine. Win Vista Business SP2.

(I can't seem to edit the post above…)

Just to note that the hard drive LED is constantly lit, and when Anti-Malware becomes unresponsive, the whole system does. It happened with heuristics disabled, and with another file listed at "currently scanning".

Currently, V1.51.1 is unusable; skipping memory scanning also makes the system unresponsive.

Thanks for that post on Avira 1PW. I have Avira Personal Free and do not have Malwarebytes excluded. I've had no issues with the new version

It will be helpful for those I work with that might.

Thanks.

Hello turtledove:

You are quite welcome.

But a bigger "Thank You" should go to exile360 (Sam) for authoring the original exclusion document.

I only cut/pasted.

Hello and

Please do the following:

• 
  
• Download and run mbam-clean.exe from here
  
• It will ask to restart your computer, please allow it to do so very important
  
• After the computer restarts, temporarily disable your Anti-Virus and install the latest version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from here
  
  • 
    
  • Note: You will need to reactivate the program using the license you were sent via email if using the Pro version
    
  • Launch the program and set the Protection and Registration. Then go to the UPDATE tab if not done during installation and check for updates.
    Restart the computer again and verify that MBAM is in the task tray if using the Pro version. Now setup any file exclusions as may be required in your Anti-Virus/Internet-Security/Firewall applications and restart your Anti-Virus/Internet-Security applications. You may use the guides posted in the FAQ's here or ask and we'll explain how to do it.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.51.1 version

You have adding the Thai language to your programs?

Tell me please..

XD

[RandomlyKnighted]

So I have a computer that was using the Trial version of Malwarebytes. The trial ended early. Is there anyway I can finish the trial or do I just have to keep using it the way it is?

[Mainard]

Hello RandomlyKnighted,

Uninstall MBAM then restart the system. Install MBAM 1.51.1 and start the trial.

Let me know if this works for you.

Thank you.

[RandomlyKnighted]

It did not work. It still says my trial has expired.

[Dante24]

@1PW Thanks, but that didn't work.

Like I said, it sometimes hangs while scanning another DLL/EXE from memory, so Avira is not the culprit. I guess I'll just wait for the next version…

Hello Dante24:

Thank you for entering the Avira exclusions. Please reply to this topic with the following:

Are you licensed for the MBAM PRO version or are you using the freeware version?

Were you using the previous MBAM version successfully?

Have you attempted a clean re-install by first running mbam-clean.exe from here?

Thank you for your continuing patience.

[AdvancedSetup]

If you're having any support issues please post them in the General forum and someone will assist you. This is a NEWS announcement about the new version and should not be used for problem resolutions.

Thank you.
