Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Update to 2.1.8


Recommended Posts

Hello—

 

We’ve just started rolling out a new patch update for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, v.2.1.8.1057, through the standard Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program update service.

 

This update is being sent out slowly to start so only a small number of users will receive it today.  But we hope to ramp up quickly over the next week or so.  We haven’t posted any information on our website yet about this release, but that will come as soon as the update has been made more widely available. 

 

This release is limited to users updating from Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.1.4 or greater to start, so we don’t have a direct download link to share right now.  I will update this topic with a way to access the full download once we’re ready to do so. 

 

You can download the full 2.1.8.1057 installer by clicking here.

 

Please post questions or report any issues on our main Help forum here.

 

Here's what’s new in v.2.1.8:

  • License key is now displayed on the My Account screen
  • Remaining subscription duration now displayed on My Account screen

  • Added support for Chinese Traditional, which is provided as a convenience for our users by a community volunteer and is not an officially supported language

  • Reverted the temporary change in v.2.1.6 that disabled checking for updates prior to scheduled scans

  • Fixed issue where "Close notification" setting was not retained during upgrade from v. 2.1.4 to v.2.1.6 if the user had changed that setting back to 7 seconds after installing v.2.1.4
  • Fixed issue on the Quarantine screen where unselecting a quarantined item disabled the Delete and Restore buttons
  • Fixed issue where incorrect program version was listed in the scan logs
  • Disabled option to specify rootkit scanning as part of a Hyper scan
  • Fixed issue in Windows 10 Tech Preview and Windows 8.1 where Malwarebytes Anti-Malware was unable to start in certain cases after self-protection was turned on
  • Fixed issue where Malwarebytes Chameleon did not load properly on Windows XP SP3 in certain conditions
  • Fixed issue which prevented Malwarebytes Anti-Malware v.2.1.4 (and higher) from upgrading over certain Malwarebytes Anti-Malware v.1.75 consumer builds
