The OEM version is just the DVD in a generic clear slipcase. It does not come in a retail box. It's the same as the the retail minus the fancy box.


I guess MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS is not necessary if we have this installed?

Thanks, I use both Microsoft Security Essentials and a retail copy of this. I believe Microsoft Security Essentials is an antivirus and this is great for malware.

No, MSE is to anti-virus protection as MBAM is to anti-malware. Run them together and feel safe for the most part.

This has real time malware protection and automatic updates. The trial version you need to run your own scans and update yourself.

jamex 02-21-2013 08:57 AM

So is this the same as "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO" that I see on their official website?

one question, this is a lifetime product. But if you install, have to format the computer and then re-install. Can you use the same key? or once it is installed, never format the computer?

People on SD have often said that OEM version cannot be transferred from 1 PC to a replacement PC, white retail can, but I do not know this for sure.

Well the 'lifetime' is not exactly a lifetime... I mean I don't expect to use the same laptop 5 years from now though for $11.99 (Newegg reviewers indicate the license is not transferable), it is still fairly cheap even though you only use your system for 3 years.

puddnhead 02-21-2013 10:12 AM

Not a bad deal, good product. But bizarre it got put on FP since this is fairly regularly offered by newegg (and others?) for $10 or even $9 ... search SD if you don't believe me. A $9 deal in Dec & multiple $10 deals in Nov barely got any thumbs up, and here everyone are falling all over each other to thumb-up a $12 price.


I think I got my two copies for $7.50 each, if I remember correctly. And those were non-OEM, if that matters to anyone (I didn't care - first thing I did was throw away the boxes)

I purchased the OEM version from newegg. Once you activate the OEM version with the accompanying product ID and key, you are running the regular Pro version. This is directly from the MBAM license agreement on my PC:

Conditioned upon your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Malwarebytes grants you a non-exclusive and non-transferable license to Execute (as defined herein) each copy of the Software solely in executable form on a single computer or virtual machine (a “Computer”), solely for your personal or internal business purposes. Once installed onto a Computer, the Software may be operated by any person using the Computer, whether directly or via remote connection. If you wish to transfer the Software to a different Computer, you must first completely uninstall the Software from the first Computer, then reinstall the Software on the new Computer and re-register the Software on the new Computer with Malwarebytes.

Currently the best deal going and it's something everyone is always looking for. Good price/good company selling it/slickdeals gets the kick back on the sale... makes everyone happy and makes front page. The front page is not the best deal ever on a product - it's just items at a good price that they know it's members will find interesting? Maybe a mod can help explain....

Some stores like Newegg get front page billing a little easier than others.

We got a bunch of free "Pro" codes around last Christmas. Do a search in the Deal Talk forum for them. The codes were still working s of 2/1.

Hey guys, if (anyone) is on the fence about this product let me say this. I am a Systems Security Manager here in Chicago,IL and we have roughly 300+ PC's using this product (now it is the enterprise version)

However it blows what we were using before which was Symantec Enterprise and Microsoft Forefront. I use this at home (the regular version) and I feel its worth the 12$

I must of bought like 5 of these this year. I am probably going to grab another 3.

b13 02-21-2013 10:59 AM

Free Version= Does not do realtime scanning
Free Version= IP BLocking

The Pro does both!

Clearly those pc's need to be locked down more than ^^ or you are not doing your job correctly.

Not sure where you work but your users/clients are clearly trolling the web and looking at stuff they shouldnt.

Anyone and everyone who is in I.T./Infosec knows you need Tiers/Layers of security for breaches. Of course running just this product will not block everything. :wave:

As of December last year malwarebytes pro could be activated on multiple PCs with a OEM code. It doesn't activate over the internet just through the program which does not need internet connectivity. I havent used malwarebytes since then as I work elsewhere, but for 2+ years it had been the same way, so 99% sure it can still be activated on multiple PCs without uninstalling or doing anything special. I would post a pro key to prove it but last time i did that my post was nuked :/

Actually in that post the admin states "There should be no difference." That is definitely not a definitive statement.

A reviewer on Newegg posted additional terms (I'm assuming from the packaging he received) stating ""This OEM System Builder Channel software requires the assembler to provide end user support from the manufacture software and cannot be transferred to another computer once it is installed. To acquire manufacture software with support provided by manufacture please see our full package "Retail" product offerings."

That very much sounds to me like it CANNOT be transferred from 1 PC to the next, and you cannot contact Malwarebytes for Technical support, like you could with the retail version.

Edit: I just saw on Newegg's page in details section, the same quote except it says "and can be transferred to another computer once it is installed." I wonder where the reviewer got that quote that says cannot, and I wonder which is correct?

I too have seen this 4 times so far. All four times, within a few hours I was able to update MBAM using a different user account, scan the infected profile and remove the virus, then I had to do a system restore to a pre-infected restore point to completely eliminate the browser redirects. Keep in mind that these virus coders work for some big money rogue companies and they come out with multiple variants daily. These guys have the skills to design viruses that can slip past an engine that they can test against. Once MBAM gets wind of the new variant, they have been very quick to include updates to remove it. Another important point is that in all 4 cases I saw, the infection got through an exploited java vulnerability. Java has been plagued with exploitable vulnerabilities the past while (many a day or 2 after a new security update). I have removed java from all PCs that I manage, except for the few people that need it for web-based java applets. In those cases I restrict java to only run on that site. For users who only need java for an actual program on their PC, I completely disable java from running in all browsers to close that hole.

Your post was deleted because what you are suggesting is illegal and immoral. When you buy a product, you agree to the terms of the license. And why would you want to steal from a company that helps us all protect and clean our PCs?

Thank you.

I doubt you need the real time protection of Malwarebytes if you are running Kaspersky. But it is still a nice on demand scanner and it is always better to already have it installed as opposed to trying to install after an infection. You could buy the Pro license for now and just use the product as an "on demand" scanner until your Kaspersky subscription runs out. If you decide to go with some other security besides Kaspersky later you can always then consider making Malwarebytes' protection real time by just a few clicks.

FWIW - I have Kaspersky Internet Security now, tweaked settings somewhat, and have Malwarebytes Pro but just use Malwarebytes on demand. If I choose to move to another antivirus later, such as free Avast, I can always just enable the real time protection of Malwarebytes and run them alongside each other. The lifetime license of Malwarebytes gives you several options as to what you want to do later.

A little more info for anyone who's wondering:

For one computer I purchased and downloaded MBAM Pro directly from malwarebytes.org.

For another computer I purchased the "OEM Installation CD" from newegg, and then used the accompanying product ID and key to activate MBAM Pro.

Both computers are running MBAM Pro (clearly branded as Pro in the same way) and both installations have identical pro features like real-time protection, automatic updates, and scheduled scanning. Even before I activated Pro, there was no reference to an OEM version, it just looked like an older free version.

There are no stated terms that indicate my Pro version is different than other Pro versions where A Consumer license may be used for one computer at a time. Licenses are transferable from old machines to new ones. [malwarebytes.org]

Some of those FBI trojan ramsoms are quite sophisticated lately.
They have been blowing right by ESET, MSE, Avast, and pretty much any other AV program you can think of.

Not only that but they make it close to impossible to remove and often require you to take the hard drive out of the infected computer and install it into another computer as a non boot drive to allow trojan removal.

To acquire manufacture software with support provided by manufacture please see our full package "Retail" product offerings."

That very much sounds to me like it CANNOT be transferred from 1 PC to the next, and you cannot contact Malwarebytes for Technical support, like you could with the retail version.

Edit: I just saw on Newegg's page in details section, the same quote except it says "and can be transferred to another computer once it is installed." I wonder where the reviewer got that quote that says cannot, and I wonder which is correct?
Based on what the reviewer on Newegg posted, that might be an issue.
That could easily be the generic terms in the MBAM pro product. If the package you received with your OEM product has additional terms, those may be binding over the ones on your computer.
I too have seen this 4 times so far. All four times, within a few hours I was able to update MBAM using a different user account, scan the infected profile and remove the virus, then I had to do a system restore to a pre-infected restore point to completely eliminate the browser redirects. Keep in mind that these virus coders work for some big money rogue companies and they come out with multiple variants daily. These guys have the skills to design viruses that can slip past an engine that they can test against. Once MBAM gets wind of the new variant, they have been very quick to include updates to remove it. Another important point is that in all 4 cases I saw, the infection got through an exploited java vulnerability. Java has been plagued with exploitable vulnerabilities the past while (many a day or 2 after a new security update). I have removed java from all PCs that I manage, except for the few people that need it for web-based java applets. In those cases I restrict java to only run on that site. For users who only need java for an actual program on their PC, I completely disable java from running in all browsers to close that hole.
Your post was deleted because what you are suggesting is illegal and immoral. When you buy a product, you agree to the terms of the license. And why would you want to steal from a company that helps us all protect and clean our PCs?

How do I disable java? I hate it always asking to update. I want it gone!

in for one. i feel its the least i can do based on how often i use the free version of MBAM; a truly excellent application.

plus their CEO is cool too.

Not only that but they make it close to impossible to remove and often require you to take the hard drive out of the infected computer and install it into another computer as a non boot drive to allow trojan removal.


Agree... I have fixed three or four different versions of this ransomeware for people. I think it tricks them into allowing what they think is an update so it bypasses (I guess) the security software... anyway, one was a real pain to remove. I believe this guy was arrested last week so these infections might be over.

awesome, ordered this with free shipping from southern california (13 and change ) arrived next day.

during installation it was the reg version even with an option "install trial pro" clicked no, and used the ID and Key and it upgraded.

Cleaned one up last week for a client using F8 at startup and system recovery, then used MSE and MBAM to remove in Safe Mode.

Worked like a charm.

Malwarebytes real time module routinely catches things that the live essentials real time scanner doesn't. Not sure about kaspersky, but I wouldn't discount the value of two irregularly updated real time products working together.

FWIW, I got this for $9.99, YMMV
 
I was in TigerDirect in Dallas Tx store this am and saw the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro for Windows 8( and lower versions) for $19.99. I asked the nice clerk if he would match Newegg price and he, being well informed, said I didn't need that as MBAM Pro was on sale for $9.99 while quantities last. I grabbed one right away.

At home all I had to do was to enter the keys in my Free version. Great software. Have been happy with it for a long time. Great price with the DVD as a back up!;)

It's great when that works out. But they vary in sophistication.
I have seen a trojan ransom prevent *any* type of boot up, including safe mode.
The only thing you would get is a blank white screen every time. No actions at all were allowed. This was one sneaky and evil SOB I can tell you.

It required removal of the infected hard drive and you had to install that in another computer as a non boot drive so that MBAM could be run for removal.

I put in my post that I have Kaspersky tweaked somewhat. I do not auto-trust digitally signed apps and I have all unknown apps moved to untrusted. Kaspersky has a higher detection rate than MSE and Kaspersky has an http scanner, which MSE does not. Malwarebytes blocks bad sites by IP address which can create some issues when Kaspersky and Malwarebytes are both scanning web traffic at the same time as this can slow down internet browsing.

If a person decides to run both Malwarebytes and an antivirus they should go to the settings in each program and exclude the other program. I'd at least decide whether to use the web protection of the av, assuming it has such protection, or the IP blocking of Malwarebytes, but not both. Some av's need Malwarebytes removed completely, so that issue pops up from time to time. But those av's are ones that I do not use.

This is a good deal. The one thing I really like about MBAM is no annual license renewal.

I was using the free version for years and saw last year for under $10 and grabbed a few boxes. Even though I've never had issues with malware infections, it's a cheap insurance policy. And by going Pro, you support a good company helping to try and keep us a little safer from the internetz ;)
