For some reason if i do a system restore even the next day Mbam always gets disabled , when i click the (fix it now) to enable protection it never works , i have to run a scan to get it to enable.

Kaspersky and other on demand scanners show no issues .

Rolling back the system with Windows System Restore will "break" the metadata of many security programs and cause other corruption.
So, the best practice is to uninstall the program and then to cleanly reinstall it after rolling back the system.
For MBAM, this is best accomplished using the "clean removal" steps in this tutorial:
MBAM Clean Removal Process 2x

EDIT: If you are having problems with auto-updating, the clean reinstall might resolve those, as well.
If not, then we would need to see diagnostic logs to know why it's not updating properly.

TBH, I am surprised that KIS/KAV works properly after using System Restore, for the same reason.
Moreover, it sure sounds as if your system might be very unstable, if you have to use System Restore so often (IOW more than usual)? <just saying>

Cheers,

Great info thanks , actually the system restore was the first one i did in close to a year .

Thanks again.

MB is working on ver 2.1 with a new GUI which should be out the beginning of 2015. The picture is a work in progress and they are taking input at this link.

Kind of funny,
Feedback for one page ?
Green dots instead of green check marks :/
A green smilie face

Not even showing the free version look either which is what needed the most updates than looking totally fake

 

[Phone Man]

They are still working on the new version and the GUI is just a small part of what they are doing. Hopefully we will have a Beta this Month and then the real feedback will start. This picture was leaked in Nov so Marcin decided to give the forum a small preview. The Free version should look the same as the Premium.

I'd say if it did look the same it would be messed up,
There should be at least 2 red dots I suppose,
And I guess the patented "Upgrade Now!!!!" "Fix Now !!!!!"

 

[jonnyhillow]

The free and Premium look the same , someone needs to fix that .

 

[DavidE]

Does the free version show "Premium" in the title bar and license ?

 

[kado897]

I think it's fairly obvious...
