Yes I found that too download would have been the 1.75 version I had. I have to admit that the site is very confusing, with the MBAM name change to MBAM Premium instead of MBAM Pro, never knowing what it was that you would be downloading.

In the end I just left it alone and will wait.

Premium is the new Pro David, it should update fine straight over the top though personally I’d clean install, note that on vista and above there is a MBAM folder leftover in AppData/ Roaming that is no longer used and can be deleted.

If clean installing your ID and Key from the earlier versions will now work.

Just digging out my Pro licenses as I presume if you do a clean install that data won’t have been stored.

FWIW, I installed the free version directly over 1.75 install on both machines without any problems.

I may try the install over the top of 1.75.xxx with the MBAM Premier first and see how it goes.

Seems MBAM are getting their fair share of those not liking some ads either.

I do not like the new MBAM as I only want it as an on demand scanner, yet even with everything disabled it still manages to make a task and nag me about it not running, needing to do a scan, wanting to update. So I have uninstalled it

Is there a free version (in the new 2.0 version) still ?
If so perhaps that is all you need, unless of course that is what you were using.

In 1.75, I didn’t want the supposed malicious sites function so I disabled that, but then it changed the tray icon (a little like avast) and greyed it out. Unlike avast there are no settings to ignore a disabled function.

I also didnt like it Essexboy. I used it for auto updates but no real protection but they changed the way it updates from 1.xx to 2. I asked them about it and they said it was a waste to do it the way it had been set up so I just gave my license to my dad since he will get use from protection and auto updates.

I’m using MBAM 2 Free and there are no tasks running when I haven’t opened the program to scan. The resident components of the paid MBAM must remain active even when the protection is disabled.

Maybe it’s time to start a separate post or use one of the ones that already exist for MBAM2 ???
This thread is meant for update notifications.

Also installed over the top,but I am back to MBAM 1.75.0.1300 Free version.
It looks like Quick (Hyper) scan is not available in MBAM 2.0.0.1000 Free version.
I just can’t select Hyper scan.Can anyone confirm this?

Like Bob mentioned a couple of posts back it would be a good idea to open a separate discussion topic for MBAM related matters, these discussions are getting out of hand in the updates thread.
