Just a quick note, that MBAM 1.51.2, simply a patch release, has been released and it is now live. This release is to address minor issues and does not include any new features nor feature enhancement.

Hello,

Is this new version online?



Cnet link

Cheers.

[AdvancedSetup]

No that link has not been updated yet. It is still downloading the previous version. You can opt to install the latest program version by making sure the settings are set to download program updates and then manually check for updates from within the program.

Just got this latest version (1.51.2.1300) with the updates; no problem at all.
Thanks !

Thanks for the news and update! I updated mine and no issues so far

[sho-dan]

Outstanding!! Download/update went smooth and all is good on my end.

I am now current via the internal update feature, however, it should be noted that many of the update mirror sites are still not current. A suggestion perhaps would be to lock the internal update feature on the freeware build in order to avoid the disappointment of download and installing duplicate software.

[AdvancedSetup]

The free version using the internal updater should also update to the proper version. We have little control over sites like CNet that host our software as well.

Thank you

Cool. Update installed.

All is well here

I am one of those that turns off phone-home features such as the internal update feature. However, I did to enable the download of the current version.
CNET now has the correct build showing as this was not the case once the announcement was made. Since MBAM does not host a download server, there should be some control as to who is hosting what and when. Hypothetical scenario, if a new build is announced, and one points to a third party site for download - should the onus be on the user to verify if the correct build is hosted on that site ?

Thanks,

They sort of rely on the updater to make sure that the version of the program that any particular user has (freshly installed or not) is current. Obviously, if a user doesn't run the update, and they installed an outdated version, then they don't get the latest program version. At the same time, even the latest program version will be limited in its detection capabilities without the latest database, so running the update is always important even if you have the latest program version.

A good counter-point would be, if a user installs an old version of the program and doesn't run the update, that their database will be even more outdated than if they had installed the latest version of the program and not run the update.

As far as update mirrors, I do know that some companies prefer to wait to announce a new release until after all of the update mirrors have the new version of their program and are ready to host it for download.

So far running well on the Dev Build of Windows 8

Hi,

My Avast (Free) just detected c:\windows\system32\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys as rootkit and the default action for this is delete. We may be having someone have Avast inadvertently delete this file.

Edit: Haven't had this detection prior to the update.

Thanks.
