Time to Reconsider offering Manual Update download?

Hi;

Every now and then when Mbam upgrades to a new version we all hear about the updating problem errors. You'll have to go through a ton of testing/fixes..some who have not solved his/her problem with updates have either stopped or just turned their back away up until it's okay. Some go and find another malware solution.

Isn't it the time to offer users an alternative-updated-manual mbam rules update? There was a link I remember but it was not an updated one. Some AV companies do this I am wondering why can't mbam offer that alternative? Why is it not being considered?

Hi;

Just a simple question during the Mbam update. Every update when there is a new version, mbam downloads the new version first before updating. I see an mbam-setup.exe in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, my question:

Is this the setup.exe that I can save/use to install mbam to another pc? It seems to be the same as that of the downloaded new version of mbam (version 1.44 4.996kb)...

I do want to keep back-ups of my software so when I need to re-install it it's a breeze and for this I download the updated version separately.

If what I see in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is the same set-up.exe for mbam then I don't have to download the updated version separately.

Is it?

Thanks very much.

Hi;

I have a problem with error code Error 732(12152,0). This did not happened yesterday as I did not have any problems updating. Today it just went in a snag. I am using OA Premium and have created a rule to "allow" mbam.exe/,mbamgui.exe/mbamswissarmy.sys/mbamservice.exe/mbamext.dll and had no problems until now. I also have set exclusions to my Avira Premium to allow mbam to update. When I take a look at the firewall gui it says, "connected" for mbam.exe but I get an error 732. This only happened today approximately 20 hours ago there was no problem.

I already checked the links that were posted in relation to the update problem but still I cannot update.

Please help.

I'm using MBAM free as on-demand. With Avira Premium/OA Premium as real-time. I have also HitmanPro as on-demand. My browser are Firefox and Google Chrome and using Sandboxie 3.42 paid.

Hi;

I have HitmanPro 3.5 as an additional on-demand scanner and it detected "PDFCreator_Toolbar.dll" as malware while "hitmanpro35.sys" was detected as a suspicious file. I have Avira 2009 Premium and updated scans do not show any signs of infections. I believe HitmanPro also uses Avira AntiVir in it's cloud.

I am attaching the files for your perusal. Both files are password protected to prevent accidental launch. (Password: infected).

My HJT and MBAM log files are below.

Thank you very much.

Hi;

Can you take a look at my HiJackThis log? Recently I noticed my boot-up getting longer. From the windows log-on screen it takes about 1.3minutes to show the full desktop with all the icons and the tray elements. It wasn't like that before. It normally would take only 1-2 seconds from the logon screen to show the full desktop and tray icons activating.

I recently upgraded to Online Armor free ver3.5 from OA free 3.0.0.9 and also installed Sandboxie ver3.38(registered). I also am trying out HitmanPro. It seemed to start before I installed Sandboxie. My MBAM/Avira 9/SASpy free log shows no infection whatsoever.

Can someone help me with this? I'd really appreciate the help.

Thank you.

Regards,

voltron
