Also, users are asked not to install the update on 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, and to do a clean install. It is not designed for production environments. It needs to be noted that this is a beta release. The very first entry of the change log reads " Fixed issue where real-time protection modules do not enable correctly". Another betaĪ new beta update released this weekend promises to do away with that particular issue. It is too early to tell whether component update 1.0.75 will fix all issues surrounding Web Protection and other components. In particular, it fixes issues with Web Protection not being enabled properly, and Web Protection related issues, such as DNS not resolving properly when the module ran in the background. The update addresses startup issues of several of the security program's components.

The preview update brings the component package version of Malwarebytes to 1.0.69. If that is the installed version, you will notice that the component package version is 1.0.50. If it is not, you need to update the software to the latest version anyway as newer versions are already available to the public. You find the information under Settings > About.Ĭheck the Malwarebytes version and the Component Package version. Malwarebytes 3.0.6 update to Component Package version 1.0.69įirst thing you may want to do is check the version information of the installed copy of Malwarebytes. Memory consumption of MBAMService.exe is still quite high, and it is not the only process that is used by the application. I have to monitor this more closely, but it seems indeed fixed in this release. On a personal note: I did experience the "Real-Time Protection turned off" notification issue, and it was quite annoying. At least some users who upgraded their version to Malwarebytes 3.0.6 are reporting that they are still experiencing issues including crashes, Access Denied Code 5 error messages during the upgrade, or that Web Protection does not start.
Malwarebytes addressed several issues in this new version of the software. You may also check it out on the Malwarebytes site once the release history is updated.
