Re: Malwarebytes 4.5

Anyone who uses a third-party software updater (e.g., Ninite, Patch My PC, software updaters included in programs like Norton 360, CCleaner, etc.) might be interested in reading GrandMastaJ8610's 19-Apr-2022 Restart Loop Issue in the Malwarebytes forum about recent problems with the Malwarebytes v4.5.8.191 update.  From AdvancedSetup's 21-Apr-2022 post <here> in that thread:

"After researching this issue, we discovered that we had an invalid certificate on our offline installer that 3rd party installers were using. This was causing the problem when used against recently newer updates. The issue has been resolved, and you should no longer experience this issue during updates."

Feedback from other users in that thread indicate that third-party (non-Malwarebytes) software updaters have caused issues with other Malwarebytes updates in the past.

Re: Malwarebytes 4.5

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but multiple Malwarebytes users are seeing large (~ 10 MB) backup files for MBAMSERVICE.LOG (e.g., MBAMSERVICE.LOG.bk1, MBAMSERVICE.LOG.bk2, etc.) rapidly accumulating in the hidden C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\MBAMService\LOGS folder.  See onebyteyboi's 28-May-2022 Components Upgrade 1.0.1689 Causing Possible Memory Leak?.

I've posted feedback <here> in that thread that these 10 MB backup files look like they first appeared on my system when I installed Malwarebytes Premium v4.5.8.191-1.0.1666 on 20-Apr-2022 and that a new backup file is created every 3 to 4 days, but the OP onebyteyboi says a new 10 MB backup file logging multiple errors and warnings can be created within 10 minutes on their system.

Hi Krusty13:

No worries.  It sounds like the high CPU usage and rapid logging in C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\MBAMService\LOGS\MBAMSERVICE.LOG is restricted to a few users and was caused by a conflict with a third-party app. However, I opened a support ticket for the issue I described <above> and AdvancedSetup and Malwarebytes Support have confirmed the problem ejecting a removable USB thumb drive after running the .exe for a portable app is reproducible.  I've submitted Process Monitor logs to the Malwarebytes Engineering Team for analysis but they aren't sure when a bug fix will be released.

Re: Malwarebytes 4.5

Just for reference, here's what Settings | Update & Security | Windows Security | Device Security | Core Isolation looks like on my Win 10 Pro v21H2 machine.  I believe Memory Integrity is normally turned ON by default on Win 11 machines.

Re: Malwarebytes 4.5

My recent post on the MB Forums:

Scheduled Scan not changing when Daylight Savings changes

Hi,

It seems MalwareBytes has forgotten about Daylight Savings again. The weekly scheduled scan should change when Daylight Savings changes. This had to be fixed once before.

Re: Malwarebytes 4.5

Hello once again Malwarebytes community,

We have rolled out this week's new version of your product, 4.5.20.230 component package 1.0.1868

 As you know by now, if you don't want to wait for the 'Update Available' notification, go right ahead and retrieve the update manually by clicking "Check for updates" in Settings > General.

Features and improvements

  • Security Advisor notifications - Customizable notification that helps you stay secure by informing you when Security Advisor finds an issue that requires your attention. Notifications are enabled by default and can be disabled or re-enabled from the Notification tab in the Settings menu.
  • Tray icon - Primary click on the tray icon now launches the UI or brings it into focus. Previously a primary click opened the tray menu which was redundant since a secondary click does the same operation.
  • Uninstalls -  Added guidance and updated our KB article for users who are looking to use Malwarebytes in conjunction with other security products.

Issues fixed

  • Product or OS functionality can be broken by blocking MS-signed not protected files (limited circumstances)
  • Incorrect dashboard notifications showing for Premium users
  • The security news feed is not changing
  • Buy now options shown in Security Advisor for Premium users

Thank you so much,

Re: Malwarebytes 4.5

Hey there Malwarebytes community,

We have rolled out yet again a new version of your product, 4.5.21.231 component package 1.0.1890

As usual, if you don't want to wait for the 'Update Available' notification, go right ahead and retrieve the update manually by clicking "Check for updates" in Settings > General.

 

Features and improvements

Smart Scan - We just changed the game for scheduled scans with Smart Scan! The Smart Scan option now allows a scheduled scan to start only if the computer is in an idle state. Limiting scheduled scans to start only idle time will provide a significant performance improvement as the default nightly scheduled scan (that is typically skipped because the device is usually powered off at night) will no longer kickoff when the computer is first started and hog resources that are needed for the task at hand.

  • Smart Scan is automatically enabled for the default scheduled scan

  • Smart Scan is on by default for all new scheduled scans

Scan reminder for new downloads - Our Free product is now even more amazing with new logic that reminds you to scan when we find new files in the download folder. While this isn’t a substitute for Real-Time Protection, it helps build better security habits.

Security Advisor:

  • Check startup apps - Assists you in optimizing your computer performance by helping to find apps that have a high impact on Windows startup.

  • Notify for new issues - Updated the display logic so that these notifications no longer auto-dismiss.

New background - Malwarebytes has a fresh new look thank to the newly added Clean Sky background. Now users can choose between three great backgrounds to personalize Malwarebytes.

Improved error handling for update issues - Today users see an error dialog if the UI is open when a background update fails. This is a poor user experience because the issue is most often automatically resolved on the next update attempt.

Minor performance improvements

Added translations for new UI flows

 

Issues fixed

Missing scan details on Scheduled Scans page

Button displays incorrectly in Dark mode

Global stats not populating on Real-Time Protection page

Thank you so much,
