Requirements The Malwarebytes Plugin has been designed with the Following Assumptions and Minimum or Maximum requirements. The Plugin is designed for, and will only install on LabTech 10 Systems or ABOVE, the Installer will tell you if it is unable to proceed based on these requirements. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware version 1.8 (LabTech) is required for full compatibility with this plugin, any existing installations of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.x or 1.75 will need to be manually removed. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware installation is to be handled by the plugin as certain settings are required for the Log and Scan history to be collected correctly. If you are using applications such as Ninite to maintain Third Party application s, you need to ensure that Malwarebytes is excluded from updates. Installation Scenarios Here are a couple of Scenarios for existing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware users that have current deployments of the software. Malwarebytes 2.xx or 1.75 is already deployed. Unfortunately, the plugin is designed for the sole use of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.8. You will need to remove Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.x or 1.75 from the computer before information will be collected correctly. You can trigger the uninstall process using the Deployment tab on the Computer Screen. Note: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75 is similar to 1.8 and as a result the Plugin will still collect information however this is not supported by the plugin, there is a monitor that will alert you for computers that have 1.75 installed as 1.8 will need to be deployed.

In the event of the installation process failing, the Auto Deployment will not reattempt the installation for 24 hours. Malwarebytes will not be Deployed to Any Device or Location that is Excluded from Auto Deployment (configurable on the Computer Screen or Location Screen). The Installation process will use the Product ID and License Key from the Client License section first, in the event that no specific Client License record exists, it will fall back to using the Global Values.
