I remember a while back hearing that maybe there would be a trial version of MBAM with the guard for those who wished to try this.
Is there any plans in the future of maybe having this.
Some members of another security forum (Wilders) are interested in MBAM but like the idea of trying the guard out for them selfs.
Just curious as I remember this being discussed before.

It is a huge possibility in the long run, however, at this point, I want to improve the software for current and future customers. We want to integrate better removal, IP blocking of malicious sites, and better active protection before we give the trial a spin.

Marcin RegNow has a trial option. I have the link posted on my site and in my sig.

So thats a trial and not the free?

The trial system in RegNow is very complicated and does not actually work as a 'trial'. The 'trial' version and the 'free' version of MBAM are both the same. So the user has the free version and can unlock it whenever he or she desires.

Oh, well I need to make some changes then.

@ LoneWolf, I can't access my site to see what your link is. I'm getting

I am an affiliate for MBAM and RRP so if that is where the link goes, it would be pay versions. I do have it listed in the Must Haves section also. I spam my own site with Malwarebytes.

Any customers you send via RegNow links will embed your affiliate ID into the program thus allowing you to receive commission.

Yes I know, but it's a bit misleading to tell them they are getting a trial of what they would buy when they really aren't. I have mixed feelings on that. It could compromise the integrity of the program as well as my own. I think I will change it to a "buy" link and if I have helped them in the HJT forum they already have the free version. I'm glad this came up though as I had no idea that is how it's set up.

[RubbeR DuckY]

Not what I meant. The link to the trial will still download MBAM, same version everyone else is using.

[JeanInMontana]

The link to the trial will download a free version with no constant protection right? That is what I find misleading, they do not get to try the constant protection at all. Or I'm still way off?

While it is a bummer that there is no trial for on-access scanning with AM, what I would consider a greater disturbance is the backlash against AM that this is creating. There are threads at Wilders (such as this one) about this where people say they won't even consider AM because of this. Personally, I think it should have been implemented from the start, as is most always the case.

Still, I bought AM yesterday mainly because I think it important to show a little faith.

[RubbeR DuckY]

As stated before, the trial is being worked on and I would be more than glad to issue a full refund to anyone who had problems with the Protection Module.

That post is my affiliates post to sell the program.
