So as long as I update as of now, this shouldn't be a problem then? If so I might had dodged a bullet as I was going to run a full scan when I went to bed
A definition update for Malwarebytes causes Trojan.Donloader.ED false positive on a massive amount of files that it can disable your system. It was corrected with new update. It hit me this afternoon and sure glad I had a recent Macrium Refresh image.

I got hit pretty good with this yesterday.
MBAM Pro went crazy all of a sudden, flashing warnings and quarantining files at a pace I never saw before.
It disabled security scanners, start button and more.
Managed to do a hard shutdown, restarting did nothing, could not start any programs at all, Win7 was DOA.
Another shutdown, did a system restore point and went back to what appears to be normal so far.
I disabled MBAM, then removed it with Revo, downloaded a new copy 3 hours later.
All files in quarantine would not restore, so had to look in sys32 and other places to be sure they were there, very time consuming.
After verifying everything, I deleted all from quarantine.

Wow, I was going to download and run MBAM yesterday on a different system but got distracted- sure am glad I didn't!
No bother here either working fine On my Windows 8 system
Your very lucky.
There was one person who knew he would be going to face a mountain of disasters this morning as he had 600 machines which he believed were damaged by this. IT person I'm guessing.
Others were threatening law suits, some wanted monetary compensation.
I'm guessing today is a very busy day for a lot of people around the world.
^ Off the Malwarebytes forum......they are going to have to work hard to regain some credibility it would appear. In the meantime, I'm taking the safe option and turning OFF automatic quarantining:The Enterprise version just knocked all the computers connected to this product out. Thank god were only evaluating it on a couple computers. Forefront may suck, but at least its not taking our systems out.
If your system is completely hosed as some are reporting, then this is apparently the fix:
