How can I fully update the app from a thumb drive? I have the app on the thumb drive. And there's a link on this page to download updates... but as of right now, when the program will update from inside the program to update 1414, this link is only 1410.

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

(scroll to the bottom and follow the link for the database update:

Latest Database
Download from GT500.org

when a machine is so messed up that I can't / don't want to get it on the internet for the most recent update, I'd like to be able to update it with a thumb drive.

thank you!

DAMN!

'This link is not updated as often as the online database is. '

is there a way to get the file like the app does - right from the latest updated source?

how do I delete this entire thread!?

It's indeed possible to copy the latest definitions file to a USB stick or cd-r for transport to more computers without an internet connection. I routinely do this myself.

cd "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware"

Inside is the rules.ref file. Copy it and the latest installer from the site to a usb stick. Install to the target PC as you normally would. Then copy the rules.ref file from USB stick to above location, overwriting the one already present.

Yeah, I have a batch file that does exactly that (ie installs MBAM silently, copies the rules.ref file to that directory, then starts MBAM and runs a quick scan).
