The Malwarebytes team is excited to announce the release of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.50.

This version features many security, performance, stability and functionality improvements, and is without a doubt our best release yet.

This release represents a major update to the Malwarebytes software.

CHANGE LOG

Overall Improvements:

1. Dramatically improved scan speed: up to 5 times faster.

2. Dramatically improved stability of both the scanner and protection module (paid version only).

3. More responsive: program loads up to 3 times faster, and protection module has lower impact on system resources (paid version only).

4. New internal detection algorithms enable detection of more real-world malware.

New Features:

1. You can now add files and folders to the ignore list manually.

2. Ability to schedule and unschedule scans and updates from the command line (paid version only).

3. Notifications of blocked malicious websites now include additional details such as type, port, and process on Windows Vista and higher.

4. Ability to include or exclude potentially unwanted programs (PUP), potentially unwanted system modifications (PUM), and peer-to-peer software (P2P) from scans and protection module detections.

5. Dramatically improved flash scan (paid version only) -- designed to determine whether a more in-depth scan is needed, in less than 10 seconds on many machines.

6. One-touch easy-to-use option to keep protection up-to-date automatically (paid version only).

7. "Warn if database is outdated by:" option now warns if the database is far out-of-date (7 days by default), including for protection (paid version only).

8. Ability to scan system startup locations for improved detection and to target persistent malware that may be obstructing removal.

9. Right-click context menu scans now use heuristics.

Issues Fixed:

1. Improved compatibility with antivirus software.

2. Fixed issue with "Recover if missed by" setting in scheduler not working correctly on Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

3. Fixed issue with "Recover if missed by" setting in scheduler not working for scans and updates scheduled to run 'Once'.

4. Fixed issue with Heuristics.Shuriken causing the program to freeze or crash.

5. Fixed issue with certain infections going undetected by the protection module in 64-bit Windows versions.

6. Fixed issue with silent scans not creating logs in certain scenarios.

I followed the link as well.Installed MBAM.The link on the Update window offered the link to 1.5.Ran the 1.5 file.Restarted and now have 1.5.;)

Do not see a whole lot of difference.(I thought I might get a yacht or two out of the download).Though it is good to be updated for sure.

Thanks Boris.
