I am new to the forums here so I think I am posting in the wrong section. When updating MBAM there are three update mirrors. Does it matter which one I use? I have used all and have had no problems.


On another note I really like the product. It is easy to use, yet very effective. The new version has cut my scan times in half. Keep up the great work!

The drop in scan time is from a change in the way MBAM handles its string defs (strings are 1 of 7 ways it can detect malware) .

The way MBAM handles GUID defs might get tweaked soon and that should make it even faster .

Kewl, thanks for the info Bruce.

@beversoll - you may notice if you run the program a lot and update manually a lot hat it seems to chose a different mirror every time, thereby reducing the load on any one given server.
