Hello!I cannot see a special topic for bug reports, so i will create my own.
That's my issue-I have installed the beta earlier today and everything went fine with the installation and the first update.Now, a little later this evening i tried to update again and that seems to be impossible.

After several minutes of waiting, it finally started with the speed of an old turtle.

And finally it stopped with this error:


I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x 86.Avira and private firewall 7 .MBAM is just for on demand scanning.
My firewall settings:

Greetings

My apologies for taking so long to reply. If you're still having this issue please try the following:

Step 1: Verify Internet Connectivity Registry Settings:

Backup the Registry:
Modifying the Registry can create unforeseen problems, so it always wise to create a backup before doing so.

• Please download ERUNT from here
  
• ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) is a free program that allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed.
  
• Double click on erunt-setup.exe to Install ERUNT by following the prompts.
  
• Use the default install settings but say NO to the portion that asks you to add ERUNT to the Start-Up folder. You can enable this option later if you wish.
  
• Start ERUNT either by double clicking on the desktop icon or choosing to start the program at the end of the setup process.
  
• Choose a location for the backup.
  
  • Note: the default location is C:\Windows\ERDNT which is acceptable.
• Make sure that at least the first two check boxes are selected.
  
• Click on OK
  
• Then click on YES to create the folder.

Note: if it is necessary to restore the registry, open the backup folder and start ERDNT.exe

Once you've completed backing up your Registry, please do the following:

• Please copy and paste the following text in the Code box exactly as written into notepad (not wordpad or any other text editor):
  

  @ECHO OFF
  reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyServer /f
  reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyOverride /f
  reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable  /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
  reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v GlobalUserOffline /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
  netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
  del /f /q %0

• Once you've done that click on File and select Save As...
  
• In the Save dialogue box click on the drop down menu next to Save as type and select All Files
  
• Name the file Update Fix.bat (the .bat extension is very important)
  
• Save the file to your desktop and double click it to run it.
  
  • Note: If running Windows Vista or Windows 7 you must right-click the file and select Run as administrator and click Continue at the User Account Control prompt.

Step 2: Verify Your Internet Connection Settings:

• Open Internet Explorer
  
  • Note: It MUST be Internet Explorer, not Firefox, Opera, Chrome or any other internet browser
• Click on Tools at the top and select Internet Options
  
  • Note: If you do not see Tools, press the Alt key on your keyboard and it will show up
• Click on the Connections tab
  
• Click on the LAN settings button
  
• Under Automatic configuration make sure that the box next to Automatically detect settings is checked, if it is not, then click the box next to it to check it
  
• Click on the OK button to close the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings window
  
• Click on the OK button to close the Internet Options window
  
• Try updating Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware again to see if it now works correctly

Now try updating Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware once more and if it does not work then please proceed to Step 3

Step 3: Exclude Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware's Files and Folders From Other Active Security Programs:

For Windows XP:

• C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe
  
• C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe
  
• C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamservice.exe
  
• C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\zlib.dll

• C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamext.dll
  
• C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref
  
• C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys
  
• C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys

For Windows Vista or Windows 7:

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.dll
  
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamext.dll
  
• C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref
  
• C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys
  
• C:\Windows\SysWoW64\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys

Note: If using a software firewall besides the built in Windows Firewall you'll need to exclude MBAM.EXE from it as well

Step 4: Ping the Content Delivery Network
