Thanks for your help. I have moved over to BleepingComputer to work out the networking issue. Cheers! -

Additionally... it ran the one time and cleared a BHO. The only thing it found. Is it possible to move forward from here rather than focusing on the application's issue on this machine? -

As I have said (twice) it just sits and spins at the checking for updates stage. -

I just want to make sure I understand correctly. If I have no internet connection because of a possible virus, it is beyond Malwarebytes capabilities to scan for it because it requires a connection to the internet to check for updates first? Because it still tries to check regardless of the date of the "rules.ref" file. -

The database still does not update because there is no internet connection. There is no error message, the application simply continues trying until I intervene hours later. I am uncertain why it was able to run on that one earlier occasion. The antivirus is Avast. When I installed MWB I excluded it from Avast shields and searches, and have verified that is still the case. I have tried MWB with the AV disabled, there was no change. I am using only Windows Firewall. The issue remains that I cannot make any connections to any other device on my network, including the router. -

Hello again - Was able to run the malware scan and removed a BHO. So back to your instructions: completed steps 1&2 again and domain servers are set to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 -

Maurice.. I appreciate your help but I need to move faster than one step per day on this particular machine as it is central to my home business. I opened a thread elsewhere with the specific question of locating a download location for the most recent ruled.ref file. Thanks again for your attention, and you can have this thread closed. If I have a continued issue after completing the MWB scan, I will open another. Rick -
I have a system with no internet access. I downloaded MalwareBytes to a USB drive and installed it. The current database is v2016.2.16.6 and the application hangs (for obvious reasons) while checking for updates. Where can I download the most recent database (the rules.ref not the exe installer)? Thanks!

Both of your steps are completed (in truth, I have done these multiple times but did them again here). As stated above, the problem exists on one system only. Look forward to your next step(s). Thanks
