Latest Version of Malwarebytes

Here is the answer to the CP 1.0.141 update.

The 141 CU release over 139 fixed a small internal issue in regards to how threat data is sent to our servers. There was no public changelog because there was no user impact in this update

Here is an updated clarification on Component Package Updates and the procedure going forward from Becky Dubrow,
Director,*Consumer Products & Strategy at Malwarebytes.

Just wanted to clarify that in general component package updates (CUs) will not be announced and we won't be posting specific change logs for these. *These updates are meant to be applied silently and automatically in the background.
We've broken this rule in the recent past because we had a few high-profile issues that were addressed by a*particular CU and we wanted to specifically call those*out. But this shouldn't be considered "normal." *These updates are meant to address miscellaneous defects, protection technique improvements and stabilization enhancements. In fact, those items can be considered the perpetual change log for these CUs going forward. *
We are constantly improving process and access to the latest versions of our software. Within a day or so after a new CU is released we'll have up updated full installer available from our website with the latest CU and database updates included. This means anyone downloading Malwarebytes 3 from our website will always have the most up-to-date software.
We are also working on improvements that will allow you to always pull down the latest components or full program versions from within MB3 even if the "allowable level of upgrades for the day" set on our side has been met. *This means that clicking Install Application Updates will automatically pull down any available CU updates or program upgrades regardless so those wishing to manually upgrade can always do so quickly and easily.

Hi all. Just to raise the long running question of the seeming conflict between Kasperky Total Security and Malwarebytes reported some time ago again.

So far as I can tell (from reading between the lines of the far from clear responses to direct questions by support from both sides) the background is that KTS seem to regard the threats previously covered by Malwarebytes as now being addressed by their product.

Whatever the reality (?) Malwarebytes support have advised that Kaspersky now needs to be set up to permit their programme to run - the two products no longer run together/dovetail seamlessly as previously seemed to be the case.

It seems likely that the parties now regard each other as competitors. If so this raises the possibility of less than seamless integration between the products and/or complete protection against threats when the the products are used together.

The options seem to be do as Malwarebytes say (might this create a vulnerability?), run Malwarebytes but without real time protection, or uninstall Malwarebytes and rely entirely on KTS to cover this ground. i.e. the customer is left to make the call.

As is likely the case for most customers I'm far from qualified to make such a call, but on the basis that it's probably wiser to rely on a single player with complete control/an integrated overview I've just removed the paid version of Malwarebytes using the uninstall tool.

This isn't a satisfactory situation, but must (I guess) always be a possibility in a competitive market.

There wasn't much information about before. Can anybody with specific knowledge clarify the picture now?
