Howdy All, I was told at 1 time by MWB that MwB 1.75 & 2.2 didn't use the same definitions, but I thought I had better confirm, so below is my question to MWB tech support, & their reply.
Subject: Difference Between MWB 1.75 & 2.2 JAN 30, 2017 | 10:50AM PST Original message Hello, I'm trying to tell other blind users of MWB that 1.75 does not use the same definitions as 2.2, as I was told by someone from MWB, but I'm not computer literate enough to explain the difference. Would you please tell me if 1.75 does or does not use the same protection definitions, & explain the differences if not? This will really help many members of the blind community help understand your product & possibly upgrade to the newer version, if necessary. By the way, MWB 3.0 is not accessible for us blind people using screen reading programs. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.

Version 1.75 and 2.2.1 do use the same definitions database, but 2.2.1 includes a rootkit scanner and better / faster remediation. I do realize that Jaws works really well with version 1.75, and 2.2 leaves a lot to be desired of when it comes to compatibility with screen readers, Jaws in particular. Malwarebytes 3.0 is supposed to be compatible with screen readers, but what I'd like to do is install Jaws on my test machine and see for myself how well it does. I'll get back to you later this evening and relay my findings to you.
