You're welcome, MarkAW - I had that module checked as a default since installing this build - no issues. |

You're welcome, hayc59 - with the module actually now active, one would hope MBAM will catch even more nasties |

This is excellent news on an already great free product. Heuristics, or behavioral type detection, is extremely necessary in the current security environment with the prevalence of Zero Day threats. Even is such detection is more important for real time monitoring, the inclusion in the free (scanner) version of MalwareBytes is still very useful. Good post siljaline, I noticed it out of the corner of my eye. Err this is a play on siljaline's current sig. |

You're welcome, antdude - I'm not sure if it was the Shuriken heuristics that allowed the detection and removal but it nailed a Adware FunWebPruducts infestation yesterday Bravo MBAM ! |

Not having to use MBAM is a good thing, it's also good to know it is there for you in your AV's malware bit misses something or if your security setting are soft.

For those that use the program a lot, and can afford to, I suggest buying the inexpensive, lifetime license. I don't even currently use any of the pro features, but have used the program for years, and wanted to support the developer. I did the same for SAS. |

While I and certainly others appreciate your comments to donate to donationware software, clocks11 - it is user opt-in. Those that want to have all of the features of MBAM would certainly opt to buy to full version. |
