Hello,

I think there might be some problem with the database updates.
I currently have database v.1736, and when I update it, a message says I updated from 1736 to 1736.
Then, I can update infinitely to the same version.

This will be fixed in next update, probably, maybe it is just a problem with the version number.

The following screenshot is not photoshopped :

I am having the same problem. It just keeps updating to the same version of 1736.

Same thing here. Both of my computers running MBAM Free are saying "You have updated to version 1736 to 1736" everytime I press Update.

I also have this problem.

Screenshot: Here

i just had that problem a few posts below. are you all running it in the admin account or at least using admin privledges, becuase you have to be an admin or it does that.

oops you did it again . update loop error here also. xp pro sp3/vista ult.sp1

I also logged on early this morning with the updates full. Just logged on now and it read updated from 1736 to 1736?

Lucky I checked the forums... This will happen on ANY database number if you try to update from a limited user. Seeing as I run as a limited user, and just tell some apps to run as administrator (like mbam) if they need to (I know the admin pass), I was a bit concerned after formatting this pc and having that pop up even when running it as admin. Thought I'd done somthing wrong in the format and screwed up the permissions. Nice to know its on MBAM's end, and not my problem to fix.

I have the same problem and tried an uninstall/re-install to no avail.

Hello,
I am having the same problem on two different systems.
On both systems I am running as admin. No new updates or software have been installed except on one which AVG updated. I stopped this on the other system to see if this may be the problem.
Uninstall and re-install does not help.
Anyone have any ideas please?
Since I can not update, what version is current now please?
Thank You.

Having the same problem. Under the Update Tab>Current database information: >Date - it shows 2/6/2009 which is yesterday.

Have no fear as this will be fixed as soon as possible.

I am just happy that I am protected and there are no nasties detected on my system.

Good to hear!

Just curious but what program(s) did you rely on to determine that you have no nasties?

I'm running MBAM under an admin account on both computers. I'm the only user and Avira reports that I'm 100% clean.

Thanks Marcin and crew, bug is Fixed: Database version: 1737

Still at 1736 here.

Me too

feb 8 2009 stuck at 1736 and i have an admin account

I just got 1738. The issue is probably caused by some of the servers being out of sync, but being told a new update has been released, so they send the "update" but since they're out of sync, they just send the older database that they still have (ie 1736).

finally fixed

Me too!

Thank you exile360 tried again and got different server and got 1738

This is fixed now (I was running the account with admin rights, btw), and the servers give v.1738

Thank you.

I now also have no problem. Thanks!

I use several and faith in the diligent MBAM crew.

I use avast! anti virus, Windows Defender updated at least daily from its portal and WinPatrol:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal <== end Windows Defender then download and install the update
http://www.winpatrol.com

I updated to 1738 with no problems to report

An added note, if updating Defender this way on Vista, you need to right click the definitions installer and select "Run as administrator", otherwise it won't properly install internal engine upgrades.

Fixed. Received 1738 and I get "You have the latest defenitions" when I update.

Got 1739 so good to go.

Looping is fixed here too.
Database version: 1739
