[Hard database update]

Hi,

 

Spec:

Malwarebytes 2.0.3.1025 premium

Windows 8.1 x64

 

I think malware/something is stopping my network adapters from functioning. Symptoms: no network access; unable (click, nothing happens) to open 'Change adapter settings' dialog; control panel hangs. No network access, no database update, no useful scan, catch-22.

 

Question 1: Is there known malware that's bypassing Malwarebytes and disabling adapters?

Question 2: How can I transfer the latest definitions from another connected machine running the same version of Malwarebytes but on Windows 7? Instructions found on a pinned FAQ relate to a file structure and filenames (rules.net, database,conf) that don't seem to be replicated in Win8.1.

 

I haven't been able to find anything directly relevant in FAQs. Any help gratefully received.

 

Cheers // Tom
