Hi guys,
some of you have reported a major conflict (random freezes, bsods etc) between avast 5 and the paid version of MBAM (which, unlike the free version, features an on-access scanner).
As we don't seem able to simulate the problem on our test systems, I'd like to find out more about the problem.
First, we made quite a few stability improvements in the recents builds of avast (not only in the program build 5.0.396, but also via subsequent virus definition updates).
So the first question is, is the problem happening even with an up-to-date installation of avast? (i.e. 5.0.396 and say yesterday's virus defs, i.e. 100206-0 or newer)?
If it is, can you please provide us with more information? Memory dumps would be most welcome (i.e. crash dumps if the system is bsoding, or manually initiated dumps if the system is hanging)...
With your help, we will hopefully be able to find (and fix) the problem soon.
Thanks much
Vlk
This may sound a lil sill Vlk, but at this point in todays common P2P game, you may want to consider having ANYONE with possible input email some kind of proof they are not using some OS they downloaded off P2P or torrent. As you should know, there was a time when you could get reliable data from those areas but that is long gone.
Now, if someone has an OS that is infected from the getko what kind of results are you thinking they might be getting? Questionable to say the least. Also, you should consider having them prove their license validity for Malware Bytes Pro...again, if they got some haked version off P2P then ANYTHING they have given...even non-related to this issue...has destoryed the entire scope of purpose Avast is reaching for.
Yea, yea...Im sure alot will try and say Alwail has no right to see those things...and to that I say they ALSO have no right to take anything one provides withouit showing its from a CLEAN envirooment. It like trying to develop a vaccintion for the flu while studying people who NEVER have the REAL flu...or are just plain sick with some other disease and anything you give them is not going to give ANY TYPE of accuracy for REAL results.
Other than that...have fun with some other issues.:

Peace Love Chaos...btw, I dont use Malware Bytes but can validate my Vista with a picture of me an todays paper with my COA, media, and booklet
