Malwarebytes Anti-Malware v2.1.8.1057

[Petrovic]

We’ve just started rolling out a new patch update for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, v.2.1.8.1057, through the standard Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program update service.

This update is being sent out slowly to start so only a small number of users will receive it today. But we hope to ramp up quickly over the next week or so. We haven’t posted any information on our website yet about this release, but that will come as soon as the update has been made more widely available.

This release is limited to users updating from Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.1.4 or greater to start, so we don’t have a direct download link to share right now. I will update this topic with a way to access the full download once we’re ready to do so.

Here's what’s new in v.2.1.8:

Improvements:

• License key is now displayed on the My Account screen
• Remaining subscription duration now displayed on My Account screen
• Implemented other licensing improvements to clarify license status
• Enhanced protection capabilities of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Web Protection
• Numerous enhancements to prepare for full compatibility with Windows 10
• Enhanced Malwarebytes Chameleon's ability to fully restore Malwarebytes functionality when affected by a malware infection
• Updated data collection techniques to improve malware research and analysis
• Removed "Exclude" button on Website Blocked notification to reduce inadvertent allowing of malicious sites
• Updated button text on Malware Detected and Non-Malware Detected notifications to clarify meaning
• Added enhanced support for High DPI displays
• Enabled the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free version to receive incremental database updates
• Added appropriate copyright notices and license statements for all third-party open source software
• Corrected translation errors for core non-English languages (German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Polish)
• Added support for Chinese Traditional, which is provided as a convenience for our users by a community volunteer and is not an officially supported language
• Several improvements to malware detection and remediation capabilities

Issues Fixed:

• Reverted the temporary change in v.2.1.6 that disabled checking for updates prior to scheduled scans
• Fixed SDK Database load errors for error code 2 and 1812
• Removed obsolete "Terminate program when no threats are found" setting since scans now run from the tray application
• Fixed several crashes that could occur during scan and quarantine operations
• Fixed crash that occurred when clicking the Clear Policies link on Access Policies screen
• Fixed issue where "Show notification after successful update" setting was not properly retained during upgrade from v.2.1.4 to v.2.1.6
• Fixed issue where "Close notification" setting was not retained during upgrade from v. 2.1.4 to v.2.1.6 if the user had changed that setting back to 7 seconds after installing v.2.1.4
• Fixed issue on the Quarantine screen where unselecting a quarantined item disabled the Delete and Restore buttons
• Fixed issue where incorrect program version was listed in the scan logs
• Disabled option to specify rootkit scanning as part of a Hyper scan
• Fixed issue in Windows 10 Tech Preview and Windows 8.1 where Malwarebytes Anti-Malware was unable to start in certain cases after self-protection was turned on
• Fixed issue where Malwarebytes Chameleon did not load properly on Windows XP SP3 in certain conditions
• Fixed issue which prevented Malwarebytes Anti-Malware v.2.1.4 (and higher) from upgrading over certain Malwarebytes Anti-Malware v.1.75 consumer builds

Hello
I think there are better solutions than malwarebytes as Emergency Kit 9, which detects all and is
free, Loaris Trojan Remover ( Powerful antimalware ) ; Spy Emergency very powerful.
At the time you use malwarebytes ( 3 years), I never detected Trojans and worms , always told me
that it was clean , when in fact if it was infected, ( Loaris Trojan detected threats and also
with Spy remove emergency ) .
Malwarebytes detects legitimate applications as threats (such as MP3 ROCKET VERS . 7.1.4 ),
causing discomfort to the user.
You soon.

I tried that Loaris trojan remover is a VM once. Needless to say that I would never under any circumstances recommend it to anyone Sticking to Malwarebytes,HitmanPro & Emsisoft Emergency Kit is more than enough to remove pesky malware. Call me paranoid but I think that you're pusposely bashing Malwarebytes in order to advertise a product that does a less good job. Just a feeling though

Are you sure Loaris is a good product? I tried it and it found many threats on my computer that Hitman , Zemana and my AV didn't find I think it's not a good product
