Hello all, just a quick clarification if anyone would be so kind.

I`ve got a lappie from a friends daughter which he has asked me to clean up :) It has several infections so i may end up re-installing but first i thought i`d give cleaning a go. Now i know for a fact it had the Kido worm so am reluctant to give it internet access just yet.
Having downloaded MBAM and installed today am i right in thinking the way to get the latest updates onto the laptop is to copy "rules.ref" from my up to date copy and transfer it to the laptop i`m installing it on via usb?

The rules.ref says 10/09/2009 i don`t know if that`s Stateside or tother side of pond but mine gives 16/10/2009 (doh ;) that answers the date format).

Mucho appreciated..

Matty

Just as general info:

You can download Malwarebytes Manual Update from here>> http://mbam.malwareb.../mbam-rules.exe
Save it to USB flash drive or burn to CD, and take it to any offline computer (with Malwarebytes installed) and run it

I hope that helps you in your cleaning of Malwares ;)
