  3. Just updated mine to database version 3841 For a 732 Error.... Step 1: Verify Internet Connectivity of Internet Explorer: Backup the Registry: Modifying the Registry can create unforeseen problems, so it always wise to create a backup before doing so.

  10. Hello and Welcome to Malwarebytes..... To determine what is trying to access that site we would probably need more info... Do you run P2P software like Utorrent, Bittorrent, Limewire, or the like? Did you have any other software open when you got the notice? You can use software like wire shark to determine what software may be trying to access that IP. If you feel it is a false positive, you can post in False Positive Section so that they can check it. Hope this helps
  11. That is great, got to birds with one stone.... LOL If you two have any further questions don't hesitate to ask.
  12. Without me actually seeing what the reg file did, I can not really comment on it. More than likely what it did is change the registry so that you can run exe files since the malware had changed the setting so that you could not. So it probably did make the change so you can run the installer. But like I said, I can not be for sure without the file you ran.
  13. Great, Glad to see its working now, remember to perform updates from time to time, as MBAM has updates up to five times a day sometimes......
  14. Yes please proceed with the instructions provide above see if that allows you to perform an update. What security software do you use, we may be able to provide you with a self help guide....
  15. You just posted today, give them time, they are quite busy in there, it could take a couple of days for them to get to you.... Also if you reply too many times, they may think that someone is already helping you, so don't reply too many times.... and be patient.....
