hi folks.big inprovment on .
Malwarebytes 3.0
has the capability to launch a Threat Scan upon one or more individual
files or directories from within Windows Explorer by using the context
menu that becomes available when the files/directories are
right-clicked. This setting allows that capability to be turned on or
off. The default setting is On.
Display Language
This setting determines the language used throughout. This is pre-set,
based on the language used during program installation. It can be
modified at will.
Event Log Data
This setting provides additional information regarding program actions
which are beyond typical needs of the user. Should you encounter a
technical issue with
Malwarebytes 3.0
, our Customer Success engineers may request that you enable this
setting to provide additional troubleshooting information.
Once troubleshooting is complete, please remember to turn this setting
off to prevent unnecessary disk usage.
The default setting is Off.
Proxy Server
This determines whether Internet connections will use a proxy server.
This is more often used on a corporate network. It has two primary
purposes. The first is to funnel communications to and from the outside
world through a single connection point, thus assuring anonymity of all
computers on the internal network. The second purpose is to cache
content. This means that external content which had recently been
downloaded is saved locally for some period of time, and subsequent
requests by that user (or others) could use the recently-saved data.
This conserves significant bandwidth, resulting in lower operating costs.
By default,
Malwarebytes 3.0
does not use a proxy. If configured to do so, the bottom panel will
change to provide configuration options as shown in the following
screenshot.
You can now specify the IP address or name of a proxy server, as well as
the appropriate port number. If a proxy is in use, the name and port
number must be specified by the person who controls access to the proxy
server. He will also be able to tell you whether authentication is
required to use the server, and if so, provide a user name and password
which have been assigned to you.
User Access
This slider allows users of
Malwarebytes Premium 3.0
and
Malwarebytes Trial 3.0
to restrict access to various features and functions in
Malwarebytes 3.0
with password protection. The
Edit User Access
button is only visible when the slider is in the On position, allowing
the user to define sections of the program which require a password to
access.
When
Edit User Access
is clicked, a new window opens directly above the
Malwarebytes 3.0
program screen to restrict access to selected areas of the program
only to those users who possess the password. The password is also
defined on this screen.
WARNING: This password is not recoverable. If you lose your password,
you will have to reinstall
Malwarebytes 3.0
to access restricted features.
As shown above, the
Reports
tab has been placed under password control. This causes
User Access
to also be placed under password control. This prevents unauthorized
users from gaining access to restricted areas.
When attempting to gain access to a restricted area, you will be
required to enter a password (as shown here). If an incorrect password
is entered, or if a null password is used, this error message will be
displayed.
If this feature has been enabled and is subsequently disabled, any
restrictions which have been defined are cancelled. This feature is not
available to users of the Free version. Currently, only one policy may
be in effect at any given time.
Windows Action Center
You may have noticed a flag in your system tray that sometimes has a
red icon with a white X appear over the flag. That is a status indicator
for the Windows Action Center, which tells you when your computer has a
security issue that needs your attention.
Malwarebytes Premium 3.0
or
Malwarebytes Trial 3.0
can now be registered as a security solution on your computer. There
are three settings available, which will be abbreviated here for easier
reading. Brief descriptions for the meaning of each setting are also
provided.
Let Malwarebytes choose whether to register:
Malwarebytes will determine whether it should be registered in Action
Center. The program will not register when Microsoft Security Essentials
is in use on a Windows 7 or older operating system. It will also not
register when Windows Defender is used on a Windows 8 or newer OS.
Always register Malwarebytes:
Malwarebytes program status will always appear in Action Center.
Never register Malwarebytes:
Malwarebytes program status will never appear in Action Center.
