Installed over top, quick Scan , no problems. Nice new look.
Love the new options/additions.

Installed and running fine here on Win8 Pro 64, I notice the MBAMService is still more than double the amount of memory usage ( 97Mb ) compared to Win7 64.

Installed over the previous, no problems so far.

Minor issue:
The links on the More Tools tab open Internet Explorer, not the default browser (Maxthon in my case).

Hi, nice new look!!
But, when you said: "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware now shows Windows 8 START screen notifications", is it only for pro version, cause in start screen, i only see the icon of MBAM!??

Do you have something disabled maybe? Mine is blue.

Installed over 1.65.1 and it kept the settings and everything. Nice new interface/icon. Mine is blue as well.. altho' with MY eyes it took me awhile to find it.

Confirm this also with Maxthon but www.malwarebytes.org/ from the 'About tab' does open in the default browser.

Installed over the top with reboot, no issues, thanks.

And so? A lot of softwares use IE, even if it is not the default browser!!
It's not a problem!

It is a Beta release and reports of issues major or minor are required.

Nice! New logo stands out. Anxious to try the new start up tool. Will try on W7 and W8 ASAP

I can confirm this on Windows 7 x64 (my default browser is Opera, but the links open in IE9).

As for the new interface, I like it. The new Notification Area icon is going to take some getting used to, but it looks OK.

The scan times seem longer to me, but other than that the Quick Scan ran without issue.
