I have tried re-installing it, but it only downloads the March 13th update: As hard as it is to say, it might actually be the end of the last lightweight and good MBAM I want to know if others that use this version are having the same issue or is it just me... Hello @NojusK! I am using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Pro 1.75.0.1300 on one of my Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit partitions. Unfortunately, I have to make the same observation here. The update works, but the last update of the virus definition is v2024.03.13.12. Nothing more up-to-date is currently available. Here is a screenshot: However, we should wait some days to see if this is really the end. You know hope dies last. In any case, I totally agree Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Pro 1.75.0.1300 was and is the lightest antimalware programme ever. That's why I was so happy in July 2023 to have found a way to reactivate it. Just a tip. Save this last definition update to recover it for whatever reasons in the case it is no longer available via online update!

Monroe Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Hi ... anyone notice that Malwarebytes v1.75.0.1300 hasn't updated since March 13th. Maybe someone can also confirm this. There are usually 3 or 4 updates or more everyday. There are 12 updates for March 13 so far. I don't remember ever seeing that many in one 24 hour space. Forget it ... just after I posted I read the post before mine ... just didn't see it. Edited March 19 by Monroe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPerceniol Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Also the same for Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit BETA v1.10.3.1001. March 13 is the last update, as well. I'll keep it and I backed up the latest update (Configuration Files), but got rid of v1.75.0.1300 and am now using Rogue Killer.

modnar Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Avast v18.8.4084.0 (XP-last) works well - just choose minimal install + Mail shield (that is these four: File Shield, Behaviour Shield, Web Shield, Mail Shield) and it's fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroSkipper Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 (edited) FYI, I had a "nice" conversation in the Malwarebytes Forums: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/309490-have-you-all-stopped-making-updates/ Unfortunately, there won't be any further definition updates for Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Pro 1.75.0.1300. They have deliberately stopped rolling out current definition updates for this version. After the end of support for Avast Free Antivirus 2015, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.2.1.1043 and now Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Pro 1.75.0.1300, the air is getting very, very thin for anyone who wants to run an antimalware programme with real-time protection on a machine with an SSE only CPU that is still receiving current definition updates. All in all, bad news! Edited March 29 by AstroSkipper Update of content 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroSkipper Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 (edited) Although I have said that the air is getting very, very thin for anyone who wants to run an antimalware programme with real-time protection on a machine with an SSE only CPU that is still receiving current definition updates, however, common sense should not desert the user of such old computers. I will test whether Panda Free Antivirus will run on computers with a CPU that does not have SSE2 support. Maybe, there are other users who have already gained experience with Panda Free Antivirus on such computers and are willing to share their knowledge.
