Malwarebytes database issue

Anyone else having issues with Malwarebytes having trouble deciding whether its database is updated or not?

Not to sound stupid, but is your system date correct on the PC? How do you have it set to update (frequency)? Does it display the database version, appear to actually be updating? If it is not updating, perhaps a firewall blocking? I have seen this issue on their forums. Their idea is to clean install. A Guy

Yep, system time is correct. When clicking Fix or Update, it runs but then just returns the same panel. Set to update on reboot and every hour. Using Windows Firewall on default settings. Here it is showing the database version:



Perhaps, I'll clean install to v1.75

This is a new issue? The database is from yesterday. I assume it just started? You might try logging into the hidden Admin account and trying an update, that's how I got the newest version to work. Only had to do it once, and it's been fine since. Eventually they will not support 1.75, so you'd need to fix it sometime. A Guy

Thanks mate. But I've reverted to 1.75 and no problems, updates without any issues and shows as such (no need to look at that awful GUI too). Hopefully they fix their software by the time 1.75 dies.

Yeah, V2 is working fine for me now, but before this version, I never had a single issue. I'm glad it's working, but when the next version update comes, I'll see if that continues. A Guy

David,

I've just noticed the same problem in V1.75 (initially I thought it was fixed). Looks like their database server might be fooked.



Looks similar to this problem???
