Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.51 Beta Now Available

Posted 19 May 2011 - 01:54 AM
We are happy to announce a public beta test of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware version 1.51. Please give it a try and let us know what you think!

Due to a communication mishap, a previous pre-release build of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.51 was labeled a release candidate instead of a beta. We apologize for the inconvenience, and are now making the appropriate Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.51 beta build available. This beta build 1.51.0.600 is in fact the most current build of 1.51, hot off the Malwarebytes presses so to speak. We have taken steps internally to ensure that this does not occur again in the future.

We are aiming to release the final version of 1.51 on Saturday, May 28.

Note to all testers:
Please note that we will be testing the internal program updater during the beta process, so that if you install the 1.51 beta, you may be notified during the beta period that a new (beta) program version is available. Please help us out by allowing installation of the new program version, and let us know if the installation proceeded seamlessly.

New Features:

1. 14-day trial of the PRO version is now available. This is optional to all users.

3. User is now able to update from the system tray even if the scanner is open.

does it install stand alone aside malwarebyte's pro stable version? I might want to try this...but I'm not uninstalling it.

Usually this is not possible.
MalwareBytes' Corp provide a special uninstaller for MBAM if you want to beta test their software.
Please keep in mind that that special uninstaller will remove your product registration informations: However you can re-enter your registration data at anytime.

Nevertheless I think You'd better to ask MalwareBytes' Corp forum, anyhow
