  1. Oh ok so basicly if the foundings are PUP or PUM the program will ignore them by default if you haven't changed the settings? Yeah MBAM only found 2 PUPs from my pc and I immediately thought that it does the same for viruses too which would be super weird. I'm glad you told me this thanks.
  2. Hello! Last night I posted a forum topic here at Malwarebytes forum, because I was confused how the new UI worked in 2.0. Not to repeat myself, here's a link to the topic: https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=146896. Long story short I am unhappy how the new version of MBAM works. Mostly because it's greatly different from the 1.x-versions of the same product. I am a "malware victim helper" on a certain Finnish Anti-Virus Portal and what I'm trying to do is create a simple step-by-step instructions on how to install MBAM, scan your computer, remove threats and inform your helper with .txt-files that MBAM creates. Now in MBAM 1.x-versions, the procedure was very simple. You installed MBAM, updated it, scanned with it, removed the threads (usually without quarantine), and after those the program would automatically create a text file that would tell the helper if the threats were removed or not. So let's see how the 2.0 works. Everything goes fine until I've scanned my computer. So after the scan finishes, the program will BY DEFAULT ignore all threats. The action column will actually automatically show "Ignore Once" for every threat the program has found. Seriously, what is this? If the victim presses the "Apply Actions" -button the program will do nothing to the found threats? Why doesn't it "automatically" put those threats to quarantine instead of choosing not to do anything? And better yet, why isn't there a "Remove-all-threads-immediately" -button like 1.x-versions had. Well ok, somewhat I can understand why there isn't that kind of a button, since there can be false positives and such, but, still the program could automatically create a backup for such things, for example. So now I have to press the "Quarantine All" -button. In order to remove the threads, I have to wait until the the computer restarts (although the program said that when I restart, the threats will be removed, but apparently it is not like that (NOT SURE IF THIS IS A BUG OR NOT)) and after that go to the History tab in MBAM and remove them MANUALLY from the list. Don't you guys see the problem here? You guys are purposely making it hard for the victim to use this program to get rid of malware. Then the .txt-files that the programs creates. Apparently there's only 1 .txt-file created through this whole procedure, which I think is odd, considering what the .txt-file contains. What it contains is just information WHAT the program has found, but no indication whether the threats have been removed or not. As a malware removal helper, this makes me wonder whether the victim has been successful in removing the threats. In 1.x-version of the products the .txt-file actually showed if they'd been removed, for example, "Deleted on restart" or something, I can't remember it correctly. So for shorts, the newest version of MBAM: BY DEFAULT ignores all threats, only lets you quarantine threats and doesn't let you remove threats immediately.Doesn't remove threats on restart, even though it says so (yet again don't know if this is a bug or not).Makes you manually remove the threats from quarantine to completely remove threats from pc.Doesn't create an informing .txt-file about the removals when the procedure is done. Compared to 1.x-versions: By default, removes threats with restart if necessary.When the restart has happened the threats are already gone.Creates a .txt-file in front of your face when you restarted the computer and tells you if the threats have been removed or not. I hope I've explained this clearly enough for you guys. syndreas
  3. Thanks for you reply, Firefox! I will be writing on the suggestions forum, since I'm very unhappy how the new program works. The english manual you pointed me to is just an overall FAQ, what I'm trying to create is simple instructions for malware victims on how you can scan with MBAM and remove the foundings in Finnish. Basicly step-to-step instructions from installing MBAM, scanning your computer and removing threats and also informing the guy who helps the malware victim with .txt -files created by MBAM. Best regards, syndreas
  4. Hello! I'm just an amateur pc security guy from Finland and I would like you guys answering some questions about MBAM 2.0. I'm trying to build finnish instructions for using your latest product, but find it difficult since the newest version is, in my opinion, quite hard to comprehend. Everything goes fine until I've finished scanning my computer for viruses etc. After that is what I don't understand. BY DEFAULT the program does nothing to the possible virus foundings(?). There's an option to quarantine the foundings, which is good, but there's no buttons for IMMEDIATE COMPLETE REMOVAL, which I think is rather stupid don't you think? Ok so after being confused about missing removal button I tried the quarantine button. The program said that it will restart my pc to remove what has been found, ok I so far so good. Once my pc restarts itself, MBAM doesn't start which is weird in my opinion. I have to start it myself and when I go to the quarantine section, I find that the foundings are still there, unremoved. So I have to MANUALLY delete the foundings after I restarted my computer. Are you guys getting the picture? Why do you make the removal of infectious stuff so hard? In my opinion the first version of MBAM was so much simpler. 2.0 forces you to do stuff manually which is never good when talking about virus removal. Regular people will have trouble removing viruses etc. because there's so many steps to do. There's also some bugs, for example, when i want to cancel my scan, the program will still scan or freeze or whatever, and the only way to stop the whole program after that is to kill it's process. All in all I am very disappointed to this new version and would like you guys to modify it to make it more simpler.
