Hello @Triple Helix and all:

Thank you, always, for your observations.

Unofficially, the availability of CU 1.0.5014 BETA REFRESH addresses an issue with MB5 Premium for Windows and a conflict with EQT's Acronis True Image 2025 Backup.

MB 5.x has started detecting H_C_Hardening Tools as malware on my machine.

 

That's because he's jealous, and jealousy always leads to spitefulness.

 

Hello @Krusty

If you can reproduce just one of MB5's error reports here (or PM to me), I might find more info.

 

Hi 1PW,

Sure:

 

Hello @Krusty

I'm on it…

Thank you.

 

Hello @Krusty

Take note of your Windows system's next scheduled threat/manual scan. Malwarebytes staff say they have fixed the AI false positives.

I'll send you a PM as soon as I'm able.

Hi 1PW,

I'm pleased to say that MB ran its scheduled scan today and this time there were no detections. The FP has been resolved. Thanks for your ongoing assistance.

On an unrelated subject, has anyone else noticed the MB tray icon not starting with Windows at times? MB itself seems to get up and running, just the tray icon. It happens here fairly often and has been going on for a rather long time, with MB4.x affected, and now still with MB5.x.

I don't see anything about this version it must be a Beta?

 

That's interesting! This is the version I have which says I'm up to date:

 

Do you have Beta's checked? Still nothing mentioned at the MBAM forums.

 

Nope. I see mine is the same as the version shown in @1PW 's announcement link.

 

So I guess mine is a Beta.

 

Well, you do seem to have that setting enabled.
