That is correct. We aim to have an updated mbam_rules.zip posted every week, typically on Thursdays. The file was updated yesterday, as expected, so if you were to re-download today the databases would be more up-to-date.

This is good information for those with ISP related and other issues. Thanks for this.

Some feedback for the DEVS that I've encountered while I've been is this slow connection predicament. When your signature updates are outdated - you will see a Notification Area Prompt box.

This can be hidden simply by deselecting how many days to warn of database being out of date in the UX. This probably should be changed since if this setting is suppressed a user would effectively not be protected.

Screen captures should illustrate.

Mea culpa, no worries. For a lurker, that may have been a problem if one of the files was an installation borker had it been the wrong file but this is not the case.

On the subject of "Offline" - the intention is physically fetching the (raw) update file for use to update the software as the ISP won't pull even the slightest amount of data that could be construed as a download, per se.

If you would post back how often the offline update file is refereshed so that us travelling Techs can have it on a flash drivwe without it being redundant.

Appreciate the expedited help today with a warm regards to the MBAM Team.

mbam2-rules.exe is for MBAM v2.x.

Well, Bro - I run both as you didn't say and it didn't bork the software. Screenie attached.

This is handy for folks that have crippled or slow connectivity who cannot update via the normal method. My defs are now more current than they were.

You want me to run both files, Dave ? Here goes.

August 27, 2015

Here 'ya go Silj. What I saw is dated August 20 so they are not produced too often.

MBAM Rules

Thanks for this, I'll give it a whirl and post back my findings.

Hello,

Running MBAM 2.1.8.1057 - licensed - premuim.

Is there a method of updatng the database "other" than via the automated scheduler ?

Why do I ask. Due to an ISP related issue, I'm currently not able to fetch database updates nnormally leaving it out of date.

Hints, tips, suggestions would be appreciated.

I'd rather not disclose why I was terminating MBAM to perform other tasks. My original issue was that when it was re-enabled via the Program or via a PC reboot, it would terminate again. This has been fixed via the MBAM clean process.

For the thread lurkers; I've done Alpha and Beta testing for Marcin.

See my screenie on notification behaviours - Is (at) defaults.

Since MBAM does not cosmetically show an update as it would interfere with your installed AV, I get that.

Cannot sift through old log files as the old installation is gone but I do appreciate the tip to look in the PROTECTION.log

I should be good for now - I'll chime back here if there's anything else.

The notification icon issue has gone away although it may have been user induced - (devs please read this) - if a user terminated MBAM to allow a task and does not reboot or re-enable the software it will stay disabled until the next PC reboot. This I see as a slight problem that should be investigated.

What I did find is that the fresh re-install revealed that the automated scheduler had automatic updates missing. In other words, updates were being fetched manually - all the while I had assumed that updates were being checked automatically. This is now fixed. There should be something in the software that checks if updating is working without user intervention.

The screen capture will show what was not contained in my last installation.

I just did an MBAM clean as the notification icon was "disappearing" for the lack of a better word. Just did a fresh install and now my activation KEY is not accepted.

The Key, either typed in or copy | pasted is not accepted. Any suggestions ?

Disregard as it appeared that the paid or premium product registration requires careful copy | paste of both the ID and KEY.

I'm still seeing the notification icon disappear but as this is a fresh install, I will report back if the issue persists.

Internal Update was not available to me, over-top installation ; so far - so good.

March 19, 2015

Major UI changes to look out for. Thanks to those that worked on the pre-release builds who provided feedback.

February 25, 2015

Just an FYI for those looking in, this Register article that highlights new findings on the Lenovo Supefish fiasco points (in part) at this thread.

December 6, 2014

Thanks for this.

December 5, 2014

Hello,

What exact version increment upgrade are we doing ? My current installation is at 2.04.1028

April 5, 2014

The UI changes that were changed via user feedback are appreciated.

February 27, 2014

Same here, there was no choice but to upgrade as it's baked into the software. I'm now looking at a 15 day evaluation after having run the Beta for an extended period.

There should have been an announcement that this was coming this fast as some on this forum said the RTM was due soon.

IOW - your Beta key will not work.

February 14, 2014

Notification tray icon shows malicious website protection disabled but if you enable it - the program UI still indicates a failed installation.

I'm running in a Production environment and can't risk bricking something - when there's a real fix I'll start back running the Beta.

February 14, 2014

Done, rebooting and will report back. Thanks for coming in for those seeing this on a Friday when you should be sitting in traffic

February 14, 2014

Same issue here - real time protection disabled running MBAM Beta 2.00.00.503

January 31, 2014

Unfortunately we're still a little confused as to what exactly is happening on your system. Is it that when MBAM is set to Start with Windows, on reboot it will disable Action Center, which must then be enabled manually?

I did indicate further up the thread that the settings were set at defaults; meaning; MBAM is set to boot when Windows Boots as per requested screenshot shows.

MBAM is still kicking out Action Center from showing immediately and this is an ongoing concern that I've been able to reproduce at every boot. The boot time is also delayed somewhat compared to enabling MBAM to not starting when Windows starts.

January 30, 2014

Thanks for the assist and the expedited help by staff here is appreciated by users kicking the tires for the MBAM Team.

The upgrade to the current version presented an issue of having to re-register the software after some consternation this has been done.

There were several BSOD's experienced post this action although I believe they were user induced though I'm not sure as of yet as I've not had time to look at event viewer logs fully at this point.

The upgrade did not fix the Action Center icon issue as it sill requires to be manually user enabled after boot.

January 30, 2014

Disregard request for resend of ID & activation code - now have that sorted.

January 30, 2014

Can someone email me a current activation ID and Key as installing the newer Beta has killed my prior version activation.

January 30, 2014

You can find the latest build on this thread. Since these are beta builds, they are not being pushed to our live update server, and can't be downloaded simply by updating your client. You'll have to install this, and each subsequent beta build manually.

Aha! I will do this as I did see Marcin post this elsewhere yesterday. This does not affect my current product key ?
