Thanks. I’m a bit confused though - I am running the free version of Malwarebytes but the log states:
Malware Protection: Disabled
Malicious Website Protection: Disabled
Chameleon: Disabled
“Malware Protection: Disabled” - disabled??? Am I doing something wrong please?
:-o
free version does not have protection…only on-demand scan :-
but there is a soulution for you…buy PRO version
if you open settings > advanced …you will see they cant be selected in free version
Unfortunately its 25 Dollars a year since version 2.
It was a lifetime license before. :-\
Thanks guys, that must be a new development? - often used the free version in the past. Silly question perhaps but, if the free ware offers no protection then what is its purpose please?
???
Its used as an On-Demand Scanner to detect Adware and other junk.
Its also used by the malware experts here.
Its often used as an second layer protection together with another AV.
Silly question perhaps but, if the free ware offers no protection then what is its purpose please?it is very good at removing the type of malware it target.....
if you browse any malware removal help forum, you will see that MBAM is the first tool they run…then if still problems they continue with advanced tool you need training to use
OK thanks to all - how do I activate the ‘on demand’ feature please ~ that last scan I made seems to show all the detective features were disabled?
You just open it up and run a scan if you want, thats it then.
On-Demand is when you tell it that you want it to scan something.
On-Access is realtime protection.
because they belong to the protection module in PRO version …
my log (in pro version) say the same, but that is bc i have turned evrything off
Version: 2.00.0.1000 Malware Database: v2014.03.28.01 Rootkit Database: v2014.03.27.01 [b]License: Premium[/b] Malware Protection: Disabled Malicious Website Protection: Disabled Chameleon: Disabled
lots of info in Malwarebytes forum https://forums.malwarebytes.org/
OK
Still confused though - antimalware program that logs you all its detectors are disabled :o
At least I am clear though
well, to activate the protection module, you have to pay…
here is one recomended tool that is free MCShield USB protector www.mcshield.net
Yes thanks, but what i’d like to know is - if I had malware on my pc would Malwarebytes Free detect it on manual scan & flag it up in the log please?
Thanks again
free version will detect and remove when you scan … it will not block malware trying to install… that is only PRO version
Malwarebytes is designed to be a addition to your AV, it only target executable files, and only fresh malware (usually not older then 3 months)
see info https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=102698#entry507785
OK thanks - then those disabled tags just refer to the Pro version, gotcha
The logs don’t say that detection is disabled, they say that protection is disabled.
“Protection” protects you from infections before they happen.
“Detection” detects infections that already exist.
The Pro version runs in the background and prevents malware from getting installed.
The Free version scans what and when you tell it to scan, looking for malware that’s already on your computer.
