If you have UAC disabled, you are correct, you will not get a confirmation prompt to close MB3. There should be a UAC prompt when you attempt to quit Malwarebytes from the system tray. Let me know if you had it on, and we can work on getting it resolved. When you had MBAM2x installed, did you have self-protection turned on by chance? This is not normally on by default, but is a configurable option and we've seen that cause some issues. I think this issue is actually related to your second issue, which I can address below

While MB3 does take a little longer than MBAM2 to launch, 20-30 seconds does seem like a lot. Hi let me see what I can answer now and then we'll probably need logs to address the other issues: IMO for older PCs like mine (7yo desktop running on XP SP3 (x86)) MBAM v3.xx is just not a good idea.Īnyway can someone look into these issues please? Takes longer to load, and then the infamous missing taskbar icon bug. To summarize, I'm quite disappointed with v3.xx of MBAM (or whatever it's now renamed). This issue has never happened with v2.2.1.xxx.

During a fresh reinstall of v3.1.2 it took multiple times to activate the license key, prompting messages that the key might be bad (it's actually a genuine key in this case).

Key authentication server (or whatever is called) issue: even though my PC is online (and that the network is not down), v3.1.2 often fails to connect accordingly, resulting in error messages. Also the taskbar M icon does NOT show any database version any more ĭ. When closing MBAM from the task bar icon, there's no more confirmation message ("Do you want to quit MBAM" something like that). In other words, under such circumstances, a system restart is the only option in order to close both MBAM and its underlying service Ĭ. a big red cross shows up not the case with 2.2.1.xxx).

But subsequently the M icon is missing and fails to restore, even after system restart And when this happens, shutting down MBAMservice under Task Manager won't work, as the process is being actively blocked (ie. Missing taskbar icon issue: the first few times v3.1.2.xx works without problem, and that the M icon always shows up each time program is started. Seems that the program has much more stuff to load during startup (as opposed to 2.2.1.xxx) By contract, v2.2.1.xx starts swiftly, and that the taskbar icon almost always loads first, before the actual program dialog (thus mitigating the following issue) ī. Program takes much longer to launch: double-click icon and it would take 20-30 secs to complete.

Installation froze towards the end and I had to do a manual shutdown and reboot.Įventually the update works and does its job accordingly (or so it seems), but there are these issues and bugs:Ī. Recently updated the MBAM database when a pop-up message prompted me to update to 3.1.2.xx. Unfortunately the same cannot be said when updating from 2.2.1.xxx to 3.1.2.xx. Have had some issues upgrading to major version but once that's been taken care of, MBAM runs perfectly without issue. Have been using MBAM since v1.75.xx and subsequently v2.2.1.xx.
