I don't know if C|Net actually provides the current version of MBAM or if that is a typo since the current version is 1.46. Regardless, it is likely a rogue that is giving the message to purchase the program. MBAM is free for personal use.
I suggest you try the random installer from here: http://mbam.malwarebytes.org/program...-installer.php
It runs as explorer.exe and the Window name is random.
Thanks for the link. regarding the first place i tried to get the program from i mentioned the link above.im assuming its legit condidering that its from cnet.com
The C|Net link may be legit but it is extremely out of date and would require a hefty update.
