v1.7.53 - TESTING ONLY
This is a testing release, not production-validated. Owner live Windows testing is required before production use.
Changes
- Malwarebytes remains winget-first.
- If winget is unavailable, fails, or installs without a usable GUI, the tool downloads the official Malwarebytes consumer offline installer.
- The fallback is PE-validated, staged atomically through a
.partfile, launched visibly, and followed by an attendedmbam.exeGUI launch. START-HERE.batuses the shared scanner wrapper so the winget and fallback paths cannot drift.- Scanner results record fallback usage and status.
Verification
- GitHub Actions
