Latest Version of Malwarebytes

[A Guy]

Yeah, mine did that too. Downloaded the installer and ran it again, and it's back on again. A Guy

Malwarebytes is getting worse and worse. Installed the newest version and it is disabling itself!

What the heck are they doing over there?

Others reporting it as well:

Who's being negative now

I'm not sure what happened but mbam disappeared from the action center :/
I haven't hunted down yet in programs or x86 :/

lol I fell for that didn't I?

Seriously though, malwarebytes is starting to tick me off.

 

[ThrashZone]

Well I found the little bugger sitting in x86 opened right up,
Still the old version though :/

Gotcha

Hehe....looks like they have their own problems : their forum is full of spam

There was an issue with our CDN (Content Delivery Network) that was handing out a bad database. This has been corrected.

If you are receiving a message in MBAM that Malicious Website Protection is disabled please do the following to correct the issue.

1. On the Dashboard click "Update now" to get the latest database version
2. Right click the Malwarebytes tray icon and click "Exit"
3. Restart the Malwarebytes application from the programs menu or desktop shortcut.
4. In most cases this resolves the issue, however if the issue still persists, reboot the computer and the issue should be resolved.
5. If the above procedures still do not correct the issue for you then please download the MBAM installer and reinstall the program which will fix the issue for you.

Thank you

Problem is still there as of 10mins ago

You can try updating the DB from within the Scan window and then click "Fix..." to see if that resolves the issue without a clean re-install.

MBAM didn't like my suggestion... so they locked my thread here:

works for me David. Maybe they're just feeling embarrassed by their own issues (again). Good job

 

[DavidE]

Thanks, and glad to hear that works for you.
Yea, I don't understand some of their reasoning and attitude ...
Guess I'm spoiled by the folks like you here in these forums

It's really just unproductive as mbam would say
Lock happy
Good job David
Wondering why Advanced... didn't leave the normal mbam clean link more than ever now :/

A simple reinstall will fix the issue, there is no need for a clean removal. No attitude meant, simply don't have time to go back and forth over and over on how to fix it and make everyone happy. If your solution works users are more than welcome to use it.

 

[DavidE]

A simple update from the Scan window may fix the issue, no reinstall needed.

I believe you edited your post after I replied ...

Re-install kind of insinuates Uninstall unless I'm missing a interpretation mix up ?

Semantics aside, a simple MBAM install on top of a previous MBAM install will resolve the issue. No MBAM uninstall nor use of mbam-clean is necessary and the task should only take a few minutes. You may need to temporarily disable the MBAM self-protection module and then re-enable it when the install is completed.

The benefit being all your system's MBAM settings and logs are retained while the issue should have been completely resolved.

HTH

I'm still using 1.75.0001 until all these problems with the new version get ironed out (which is taking an absurd amount of time).

 

[kado897]

I needed a reinstall to fix the problem.

 

[Wordsworth]

Did as others have done with updating the definitions and clicking Fix, rather than reinstalling. I didn't know at the time about the problem, but went to the Malwarebyte website after to see if others were having the same problem. I've shutdown and restarted several times to test and no further problems so far.
