Solved Malwarebytes version 1.61

[DavidE]

Malwarebytes released version 1.61 today.
I tried to update using the auto update on a W7 x64 PC and it failed.
I ran the mbam-clean uninstall utility and downloaded/installed version 1.61 without issues.
Had to re-register and reconfigure the options.
I'll wait a few days to see if others report auto update issues to MBAM before updating other PC's.

Here is a link with release notes and download link.

Received auto-update notice on 04/09. Didn't work on my 7 Pro x64 machine. Had to manually uninstall MBAM then reinstall. But auto-update worked fine on an XP w/SP3 machine. Go figure.

Hi David
Did you try to RUN AS ADMIN?

Yes.
As far as i know it must at least be run with "Run as Admin" for program updates or manual DB updates.

Yea - same here


I've done 5 updates now, 3 worked fine and 2 had an issue

I have a full (paid) version. It updated without problems this morning.

All of mine are the MBAM Pro paid personal (home user) version...

I don't think the free version can do Auto Updates...

 

[marsmimar]

Likewise - mine are paid versions, also.

Hello fellows

My MBAM is the free version and it's self updated as you can see:

 

[DavidE]

That really surprises me.

Does your free MBAM auto update the virus definitions?
There are usually 4 or more new definitions per DAY.

This is the first time I've used auto update for a program update.

I'm considering installing/purchasing MBAM for some people i help, and would like to know how it really works and what to expect...

Thanks, David

edit: are you using the TRIAL version?
