@1PW: - Regular updates of the database. - Possible extra features to protect the users against these adwares. - Possible blocking or immunising a computer of sending telemetry by browsers and (other) software.

Database has now been updated. Still, I have the feeling that AdwCleaner has been all but forgotten by the people of Malwarebytes. That's bit of a shame, bacause it's a great tool.

If, as @jboursier says, the possibility exists, that my suggestions will be added to the 'Basic Repair Actions', we should discuss the possibility of creating a seperate section for these fixes/actions. The 'Basic Repair Actions' are now in 'Settings', but they're rather out of place there, because they're not really settings. They merit their own section. See my very crude attached image.

Add 'Fix Windows Installer' to AdwCleaner
fredvries replied to fredvries's topic in Malwarebytes AdwCleaner
@Gt-truth I understand what you are trying to convey, but... If you were hit by malware or adware and have cleansed your system with AdwCleaner, your computer might still have some residual issues or might behave erratically. Then you are advised to use the 'Basic Repair Actions'. Since Malwarebytes has decided to offer some 'Basic Repair Actions' (and not all that are possible), you might end up with a visit to the forum asking for assistance. There they will probably advise you to download and run [some other program], which essentially means that AdwCleaner has a sub-par set of 'Basic Repair Actions'. My view is that this section should be expanded to avoid unnecessary questions in the Help sections, clogging the workload of experts and a somewhat humiliating advice to use a competing product. -
Add 'Fix Windows Installer' to AdwCleaner
fredvries replied to fredvries's topic in Malwarebytes AdwCleaner
Thank you, yes those resources are quite sufficient. Like Windows Update, Windows Installer can safely be repaired via Stop Service - Unregister Windows Installer - Reregister Windows Installer - Start Service Fred -
[To avoid confusion I decided to create a seperate topic] In AdwCleaner's 'Settings' there is a section called 'Basic Repair Actions'. Since malware might also interfere with the Windows Installer, I would suggest to add 'Fix Windows Installer' to the 'Basic Repair Actions'. See (for instance) here.

Add 'Reset Windows Update Agent' to AdwCleaner

Greetings, Thank you for your reply. You are quite right to assume that these sites will give the product team adequate information to address my suggestion. Thank you for your efforts. -

@Suitiepie I really like your suggestion regarding the GUI. It's a great way forward, but I'm also sure that it will be thrown in the bin. I find the Settings button kind of hidden, not easy to find. Yes, I understand that, once you've enabled/disabled the settings, there's no real need to have it displayed obtrusively, but still: it's somehow confusing and not intuitive. I dislike the free space. The robot and skyview are not in any way helpful. They're just there to fill the emptyness. Remove the empty space and you'll end up with a sleeker GUI.

Malwarebytes 4.0.2 Beta blocks Microsoft Edge
fredvries replied to fredvries's topic in Malwarebytes 4.x Beta
The requested zip of the Malwarebytes Support Tool is attached However, the Tool has removed Malwarebytes entirely. Had to re-install the program but it seems to have forgotten my licence key. Please advice. mbst-grab-results.zip -
Since today, if I want to open Microsoft Edge, Malwarebytes claims that an Exploit was automatically blocked. Then Edge is unresponsive and I need to forcefully close the program. I've added the Advanced Report.Maybe you can shed some light on the problem. Malwarebytes.txt

You don't seem to get much feedback, I fear.
