Latest Version of Malwarebytes

Hi @Brink,

as with most new features the notes are important, believe ths comment directly from MWB should be added to page 1

Since Malwarebytes 4.0 Premium is an anti-virus replacement, will it register itself in Windows Security Center in order for Windows to recognize it as security software?
With any new install Malwarebytes 4.0’s new default behavior is to register in Windows Defender Security Center (also known as Windows Security Center, Windows Action Center) as a primary line of defense. Due to Microsoft’s implementation of Windows Defender Security Center, this means that Windows Defender will disable itself as a result (depending on your operating system). However, if you prefer to run Malwarebytes alongside any other traditional antivirus (including Windows Defender, Symantec or McAfee) you can disable the Windows Security Center setting in Security Settings within Malwarebytes 4.0. This will prevent Malwarebytes from registering in Windows Security Center and either your secondary antivirus or Windows Defender will show as registered. Malwarebytes 4.0 will continue to run seamlessly alongside these other solutions in compatibility mode.

Hello Roy @hawkman,

No problem. Done.

Anyone know why VirusTotal shows 1 hit on this new installer (as a trojan) and has a low community score?

At least it wasn't MB that detected it. That would have been embarrassing.

LMAO! So true!

Hello @simrick

That smaller, and recently published, 1.88 MB MBSetup.exe file is no longer the older and much larger off-line installer you may have associated with MB3. This not yet documented file is more like a highly upgraded on-line downloader method not unknown in other corners of IT.

The VT community vote counts for the older MB3 off-line installer file were also quite low because of undocumented & frequent re-releases targeted weekly.

The MB4 off-line installer has not yet been announced nor documented. Much has been document/published and yet some areas are still undergoing documentation and will soon make their way to the Malwarebytes Support/Documentation server.

Many Malwarebytes team members have worked long and hard to greatly improve critical areas for MB4 users. If you find any aspects of MB4 that require Malwarebytes' attention, please post your findings or ideas on the forum.

Thank you.

What us ancient oldies call a Stub Installer.

Well I hate this new look for MalwareBytes ....I don't know who designed this new look, but it leaves much to be desired.
Also I have found out its does not run stable at higher clocks ....like 5.3MHz. Only app on my rig that doesn't

Yeah. I can't find things now.
