Yesterday, I downloaded the FREE version of Malwarebytes 3.7.1.2879 from
the Malwarebytes home Web page.  I then installed it.

To get the installer, I went to .  On the
left side of the Web page under Home (I had to set Images to "Load all
images"), I put my cursor over the Explore button without selecting it.
That gave me the options Free and Premium.  I selected the Free Download
button under Free.

Note:  The installer shows a very long version number.  It is actually
three version numbers separated with hyphens.  The first part is the
software version.  The second part is the components version.  The third
part is the update package version.  I do not understand the distinction
between these three.

Well, at least from what I gather when downloading the latest software 
even though I've been using this program forever, no matter if you 
choose the Home/Premium Trial or Premium Trial links, considering either 
or is your only option to download any version without having to make an 
upfront payment, both links will give you access to the identical 
program. Long story short, both the Free/Premium Trial or Premium Trial 
versions are identical and, like Cinderella at midnight (after 14 days), 
both will revert to malware scanning only after the trial expires, 
unless you choose to spend the bucks for keeping Premium features active.


Visually:
Free/Premium Trial version #: .3.7.1.2839-1.0.538-1.0.9186.exe
Premium Trial version #: .3.7.1.2839-1.0.538-1.0.9186.exe

MB became confusing some time back when they went from a simple scan
on demand to including every other anti-virus thing in a suite.
Download and install the free version but don't check the box for
"start 14 day trial", or what ever it says... I forgot exactly.
Also, in Setup / Application, be sure to turn off EVERYTHING,
otherwise it will continually report back to their home planet.



I cannot find the "Free Version" on Google.
Whatever Google comes up with turns out to be the 14 Day trial thing !
That is why I am asking if that is gone ?

Even the Google links that are OLDER still come up with the 14 day thing.
If I am missing something, please tell me !

https://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_3/

Filehippo says it's free. There's no guarantee, but in this case I think
it is free because I use one of the 3.6.1. versions on the right and
it's free.

As I recall when I installed my version they "turned everything on". The
solution: turn everything off, and you'll have the free installation.
After the trial period is over, you won't notice the difference because
you already will have done what they were about to do.





I'm using 3.6.1, which is free

I just read a "Review" of MalWareBytes that explained the 14 Day Trial
Period.

After the 14 Days - it reverts to the "FREE" version.

I thought that it would seize up after 14 days like most Trial Software !

I downloaded the "Free" Version and am using it now.  Sorry for my
confusion !

DoctorBill
You can also look at their price list 
(https://www.malwarebytes.com/pricing/) and it still shows the 'free' 
version.  And if you try downloading via both links, it downloads the 
same version, so it confirms it's just a ploy to get more paid 
subscribers.  Plus, as you can see, seeing for yourself the confusion, 
many people will end up paying the Premium to keep the software active. ;)

It looks like you get 14 days of Malwarebytes Premium for free; if you
don't buy it then all the premium features are disabled and you're
left with the free version that just disinfects:
https://www.malwarebytes.com/trial/
- For 14 days, Malwarebytes for Window will keep malware from
infecting your computer for free. After that, it reverts to a limited
scanner.
- TRIAL PERIOD
Prevent malware from infecting your computer for 14 days with
real-time protection, anti-ransomware technology, and malicious
website blocking.
- DO NOTHING
Malwarebytes for Windows reverts to a manual scanner that detects and
cleans up malware infections only when you run a scan. You can upgrade
to the premium version any time.


Did earlier versions of malwarebytes free offer any kind of protection
or was it strictly an after-the-fact find & remove malware product?

Lee

Previously, if I remember correctly, there were 2 versions: FREE and 
PREMIUM.

Now, however, it looks like they turned on the Premium with the FREE
version hoping to lure a few more fish to their bottom-line.

Q: If you completely removed the filter, along with email forwarding

the problem.  Gut instinct tells me, although I could be wrong, one may 
not have anything to do with the other.

Fine. Try it, and if you like it better, stick with it. If not,
revert. That's how I'd decide.


Really?!  You wouldn't even try to look at any performance data?

Whatever works for you, but I've seen too many instances where
people see what they want/expect to see instead of what's really
there, so I like looking at the numbers instead of going by feel.


I would happily look at performance data for comparable systems under
comparable conditions. Got any of that? My point was that systems are so
varied and conditions are so varied that it's impossible to make a fair
comparison. All we have is empirical results for our own systems. And
ultimately that's the bottom line -- is this user happier or not?

Paul-1, Lee-0. I'll have to agree with Paul on this one. For example, 
Lee, if you took two identically built computers (same models, specs, 
etc) - like Paul was describing - even taking it to the point where both 
systems were connected to the same router, in the same house, one could 
have loads of software on it, rarely maintained, while the other could 
have limited use and constantly maintained, and then did performance 
tests on those two computers, well, most likely, your results could vary 
so greatly that you'd start to question whether those two computers were 
identical models or not. Like Paul suggests, you truly need 
apples-to-apples type testing here, not just looking at one computer's 
performance test and then draw a conclusion by saying, 'All systems 
should make this change to it.' I sorta wish it was that simple. It's 
not. But, as for myself, I kinda enjoy the challenge. :)

 Thanks for this suggestion -- that's a useful extension that I wasn't
 aware of!
 
 I immediately began thinking how this concept could work even better. If
 Seamonkey is closed (or the computer crashes or is shut off), messages
 won't be sent by this extension. I need to close Seamonkey before
 leaving my office every day so that it will stop moving emails from my
 server to my office computer, so that interferes with how I might use
 this extension.
 
 I've found a couple of services that will forward your pre-written
 emails at a set time and date, even when your computer is off. (I've
 been using followup.cc to send myself 'take out the trash' reminders).
 But these messages don't look like they're coming directly from me, so
 it doesn't work for business communications.
No need to thank me, I didn't write it, I just suggested it. :)

To answer your question, see this:
http://blog.kamens.us/send-later/#server-side

According to the author of 'Send Later' it is possible to setup a
server-side solution using the add-on, I just haven't done it myself
since I feel comfortable (for the most part) leaving SM open while not
around, so I can't say with certainty what the difficulty level is to do
it.  I did glance at the instructions, it looks quite easy to do,
however. Here's a suggestion for you: Maybe use a spare computer and
keep it locked with a password? It's just a thought.

And as for added security, if you write to the same people all the time
and are concerned about prying eyes, which it sounds to be and, imo,
smart to be that way, you should maybe look into using Enigmail for SM.
 It's also a nice way to push your friends, family and clients (if
applicable) into thinking more independently and protecting your private
conversations, especially those people you communicate with on an
on-going basis, regardless if it's 'secret information' being shared or
not.

I do have one caveat about using Enigmail: If you test or use Enigmail,
you need to make sure you never, ever forget your pass phrase!! If you
do, you are S-O-L. Other than that, I have yet to find an article
telling me the encryption has been broken or any back-doors written in,
so, in my eyes, it's a perfect way to give Big Brother (NSA) and it's
cohorts (Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc, etc) the middle finger any day
of the week, because now you're messages are completely private and
encrypted from you until they reach your recipient and they decide to
have them unencrypted using your password.

So here's the link to the Enigmail Project:
https://www.enigmail.net/home/index.php

sean,
why don't you give freepops a try. it's free!

http://www.freepops.org

i'm using it with the latest SM version in order to access my yahoo
accounts. it works perfectly.

and although i haven't tried it with hotmail, it does show that there is
a plugin for it.

here's the plugin for hotmail...
http://www.freepops.org/en/viewplugin.php?plugin=hotmail

i hope it helps.

glen


i also generally dislike having to use addons for things that should work

as MS implies here...

http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_live/b/windowslive/archive/2011/07/07/an-update-on-ssl-support.aspx


but i may relent...or just create a new account from my ISP...

sean


freepops is not an addon to SM, but a separate program that must be run 
along side SM to access various mail providers.


i have it run automatically via the startup folder when windows starts, 
and i sometimes even forget that it's running.


if you are still encountering a problem, i'd check it out and see if may 
work for you as well.

It might be a new extension (like DownloadWith or DownThemAll) that
offers additional options for download, but needs confirmation.

that could well be.  if not, i'd be very concerned and wouldn't download 
anything more using SM until i figured it out.

Anyone get Unselect Message extension to work with the latest SM

[Glen]

I was using xSidebar with the modified extension to work with SM, and 
now it's no longer working.  I tried to disabling compatibility for the 
extensions, installing xSidebar, and nothing is working.  It's an 
awesome extension to have installed if you have lots of emails to sort 
through on a daily basis.


Anyone have a modified version to work the latest SM?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Make Firefox default browser for SeaMonkey Mail?

Is it possible to configure SeaMonkey mail to launch Firefox instead
of the SeaMonkey browser for links in e-mail messages?


Yes it is. I switched from Thunderbird 2.0.x to SeaMonkey a few years
ago, yet wanted to retain Firefox as my primary browser.

That is obtained via a SeaMonkey extension named Launchy.

http://gemal.dk/mozilla/launchy.html

So it will not be the link browse or what not, it will be on its own
Launchy menu instead. Works great!

Thanks Michael,

I installed Launchy in SeaMonkey, but unfortunately, links in SeaMonkey
mail still open the SeaMonkey browser instead of Firefox, which is my
default browser. I am not sure I understand what you mean by a Launchy
menu; is this a toolbar? Where would I find the Launchy menu? Also the
options window for the Launchy extension under Launchy knows about the
following applications, Mozilla Firefox is listed but not enabled; it
is inactive and provides no means of enabling it. By the way, I
installed Launchy in Firefox as well, and the behavior of the options
window is the same. Please advise.

Jim Van Abbema




Jim,
As long as you have Launchy installed, you'll see the menu item when you 
right click a link in any email. I have it installed and it is working 
just fine since I don't want to default all clicks to open another 
browser other than SM, just some.


However, you will have to create a launchy.xml file and place it in your 
profile directory, and have it there prior to opening SM.


Here is a link to automatically create the file you need.

 http://gemal.dk/mozilla/launchy-xmlfile.html

And if you are only wanting to add Firefox to the menu since, like you 
mentioned, it is not enabled, copy the attached file to


C:\Documents and Settings\
YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\chrome

It's the file I created to add Firefox to the Launchy menu.

I hope it helps.

Tor Extension to use in SM??

Does anyone know if there is a Firefox Tor extension that has been

offers a Firefox extension but haven't had any luck with locating one 
for SM on the web.

once you find out your dns server address, do a google search alternate

Yes, my properties for my connection are to obtain DNS services
automatically.  Actually, I have a DOS script with a shortcut from my
Start menu for IPConfig all.  For the DNS server, it gives me the IP
address of my local router, which is between my PC and my cable modem.

I might try recabling and connect my PC directly to the modem to see
what IPConfig gives me.

i did a quick search and it does look like rr is hiding its dns servers 
from its users.  if you can't find what you are looking for, here is a 
possible option for you:  http://www.opendns.com/start/  they also have 
a free dns to use as well. to me, it seems like rr wants to keep a close 
eye on its users...while providing somewhat lackluster service. big 
brother is watching you! i have comcast, btw, no problems locating the 
dns and changing it to another.

I got an email from Comcast yesterday that reads in part
'.Customer Security Assurance Notice

Dear Comcast Customer:

Action Taken:
In an effort to help prevent spam and ensure the security of our
network and customers, Comcast has modified your modem’s settings to
prevent the sending of email on port 25. That is the default port
email programs such as Outlook Express use to send email. We’ve taken
this action because we may have detected virus-like activity from your
modem or received reports from other email providers that mail from
your modem generated complaints from their users. Please read this
message to understand how this action may impact your ability to send
email and what you should do next.

Comcast Webmail Users:
If you use a web browser to access your Comcast.net email, this action
will not affect your ability to send or receive e-mail. This action
also does not affect any non-Comcast webmail services.

Email Program Users (Outlook Express, Outlook, MacMail, etc.):
If you use an email program, this action will disable your program’s
ability to send email until you change your email program settings to
send email on port 587. Port 587 uses authentication and is an
industry-recommended alternative to port 25. If you use Outlook
Express and Comcast.net email, Comcast has provided a simple one click
fix for you to use with Internet Explorer. If you use another email
program such as MacMail, Eudora, or Thunderbird, please visit our
client page for information on how to change the settings for sending
email in your email program.

If you are not using Comcast.net email and use another email provider,
please contact your provider for its recommended port settings. Most

email.   ...'

I reset the port to the suggested 587, but, it did not work.  Any
suggestions??  I am confused.

Mikey,

I received the same email a few years back from Comcast on a secondary 
computer I was using.  I discovered that the reason the computer was 
so slow was that it had a few bad viruses/malware attached to it.  I 
didn't have all the preventions setup on it, and I certainly paid the 
price for it.


I'd start out by running Malwarebytes (it's free) and see what you come 
up with.  It sounds like something definitely took over and its using 
your email account to send out emails.


As for the port issue, using port 587 is not a bad thing.  I was using 
that same port number on my main computer since I found it to be an 
acceptable alternative to the main one that was setup by Comcast.


I'd also make sure you lock down the pc with anti-virus/firewall 
protection, such as avast (free version) and zone alarm firewall (free 
version).


I hope you figure it out.

As a long-time SeaMonkey user, I would only note that the requirement

You can upgrade to 2.0.5 without deinstalling 2.0.4 and should not

But to be on the safe side with any software update, you should always

First off, you have a serious problem! From all my experience, if a

Do you use MozBackup?
Have you scanned for viruses/malware?

My gut instinct tells me you may have a virus or malware attacking your

Let me know the answers above asap.


It took a while, but yeah, I was infected with something. Eventually AVG
fixed it up. Long story. Some sort of registry key infection.


jt,

The people who just replied to your thread were correct, there was a 
malware/virus that attacked a vulnerability of SM.


Here's what I would do to make sure you're pc is clean

I'd download the latest free version of Malwarebytes and give your pc 
a full scan and make sure everything is off of it.


http://www.malwarebytes.org/

Also, IMO, I'd remove AVG and install the free version of avast!.

http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

Run a full scan in avast after you insure you have the latest updates, 
making sure you have the program set to auto-update.


IMO, the people at avast have done a phenomenal job with their latest 
free product and have recommended their product dozens of times since a 
few years ago.  I've had at least 3-4 blacklisted virus/malware 
installation attempts over the past few years, but avast caught each one!


I'm not sure who you use for a firewall, I personally use Zone Alarm 
9.1. just because it's free, it seems to work, and only uses 4 megs 
of memory.


Good luck with it...

Mel,
I never had 1.1.18 but I was under the impression that 2.0.4 should have 
recognized the previous version and brought over all those items for you.


If you can't figure it out, give MozBackup a try, by backing up your 
1.1.18 version profile, then try restoring that profile into 2.0.4 by 
using the MozBackup program.


Again, I'm not sure if that will work, but since I thought it should 
have automatically detected and updated to the newer version, it may be 
worth a try.


Regardless, download MozBackup and use it for future use.

Just as bts suggested, be as limited as you can when using various

Also, as bts suggested, try using at least 2 email addresses, one for

I would have to agree with your results.  At first, the idea was to just
