Malwarebytes Chameleon is only required if your computer is so infested with
Malware, it prevents Malwarebytes from running.
If this is what you're facing...
trash on your computer is the least of your worries.
For proper Chameleon usage, it should be installed.
It requires restarting multiple times, and even Safe Mode
for successful Malware cleanup.
In addition.. if Chameleon is active..
it locks all Malwarebytes' files, folders, registry keys, services, etc..
Preventing proper cleanup after portable usage.
Because of this.. Chameleon is not included.

| [01]. CLEANUP |
==============================================================================
If Malware is found on your system and you elect to either delete or quarantine,
a reboot is required to complete the process.
Malwarebytes will prompt for a restart.
- ALWAYS SELECT "NO".
Shut down Anti-MalwarePortable, then restart.
I've designed Anti-MalwarePortable to clean up after this process.
But Anti-MalwarePortable must be terminated properly before rebooting.
USB Portable Devices
====================
Do not unplug until a computer restart, during Malware cleanup.
==============================================================================
| [02]. WINDOWS XP & PREMIUM EDITION |
==============================================================================
If malware is found during scanning, Malwarebytes freezes and locks the
computer.. rendering restarting, and clean up impossible.
This is why Windows XP users must be careful.
SOLUTION: switch to FREE EDITION for scanning activities.
After scanning is complete, simply switch back to PREMIUM EDITION for
real-time monitoring, and web access protection.
==============================================================================
| [03]. LICENSING |
==============================================================================
2. If there are any issues with Premium Edition..
Simply generate a new "license.conf" file w/FFF's keygen.
Then replace in:
- AppMalwarebytes Anti-Malwarelicense
- DataMalwarebytes Anti-MalwareConfiguration
Likewise with Free Edition..
==============================================================================
| [04]. NETWORK, UNC PATHS AND REAL-TIME PROTECTION |
==============================================================================
Only UNC Paths are supported for Real-time Protection.
Networked or Shared folders will not work for Real-time Protection.

| [05]. TIP |
==============================================================================
If you prefer to cleanup mbamext.dll in TEMP:
- close all instances of Windows Explorer before exiting.
If it's still there.. you can manually delete it after closing all instances
of Windows Explorer.
If it's still locked, restart computer and it should be gone.
