Small update, had to fix a bug that caused the app to crash upon launch. Now runs in a 2016 Win10PE instead of a 2018 one. Loads faster as a result, and is smaller in size.

i don't get it? should re-download the torrent?
only if you want to, I just made it boot faster and squashed a bug in the WinPE. If yours works fine, then there's really no need to update.

Will this work if I copy the iso into Medicat USB Antivirus folder? Actually it does work, but when I try to run a scan it just goes to "Scan was canceled" I tried Custom scan, selecting the drives, but same issue.

Hah nevermind, had to Run as admin

This is a known issue, and will be fixed in the next release if February.

If you're using this with Ventoy, you need to extract the Programs folder and the CdUsb.Y file to the root of the USB. Then the app should load. That's how it works on MediCat USB, and how you're able to download and keep the latest virus updates.

I'm sorry i'm new here.
I"m able to make bootdisk with ventoy.
I can boot the malwarebyte ISO.

What do you mean with extract the Programs folder and the CdUsb.Y file to the root of the USB.
Where can i find the CDUSB.Y file ?

Thanks for the tips.

Regards

Michel

It's all in the zipped file, just extract the zip to the USB stick, and everything will be taken care of by itself.

I've been trying to fix it for weeks, but I don't know what the problem is. The only fix I can come up with is just make sure you uncheck all 4 boxes before doing a custom scan.

Probably been asked before, but since this is unofficial, is it safe to use?
Yes, it's safe. I would never tarnish my good name by uploading harmful software.

Malwarebytes Bootable v21.06 has just been released!

(Go back to Page 1 to get it)


This was made from a newly-generated WinPE using WinBuilder and Windows 10 Pro v2004. It has Realtek Wi-Fi and Ethernet drivers injected, the touchpad now works on HP laptops, I made a new wallpaper for it, the desktop scales properly and automatically, and it's a much smaller file size than the last version was.

Thanks a lot @Jayro for this Malwarebytes bootable update! The winPE is better, the background is beautiful and the trackpad support is great!

I tried to uncheck all the options in custom scan but the same thing happened. Is there any other solutions?

I only scanned drives X:\ and B:\ and they completed for me without issue, so I'm not sure what else to try. Nobody else is making portable versions of Malwarebytes anymore.

I discovered today if you start a scan and pause it after check for updates then connect to Internet and update definitions then continue the scan it will complete without stopping. If you update before you start scan that seems to stop it working.

if you stop it mid-scan and update it, i dont think it will be able to scan with updated definitions though. so just pointless to even update till a fix is released.

If you connect to online, update it, then exit from the systray and relaunch it, it loads the updated definitions. Then you can scan with it.

Or alternatively, just updated it from a working computer first. 🤷
