Hi again Porthos and Advanced Setup - OK followed all your advice and installed 4.5.14

All seems OK - but the only thing I have yet to correct is  " Exploit Protection is turned OFF"   ....... I tried to turn it ON - but it just says PENDING and little circle keeps endlessly whizing around 

Any ideas to fix it ?????

Thanks Porthos - for all 1043 users on here I just wish Malwarebytes had continued to provide updated definitions for this program and it would have alieviated all the issues me and many others on here seemed to be having 

When - if - as a computer dummy with all my emploment. medicals etc etc details on my computer  ..........I work up the courage I will see what happens with installing the new version .......

I have a 3 devices all on the same subscription ....... and continued renewall of all 3 each year .......and all have the same licence/key and never before any issue until the updates were discontinued

We have 3 home computers all running Windows 7 and 2.2.1.1043 ( Premium) - and all have run Malwarebytes faultlessly for a large number of years BUT its all come to a crashing halt with the ending of updates to this version. 

Our licences keep changing and trying to activate Free/Premium says -" you must connect to the internet to do this"  - and we have lost all malware and malicious website protection 

So I guess the advice to all this is to update to Version 4.X ???? ....... and hope we dont trash our computers ......so maybe you can please post the stepwise detailed advice to do this 

 

 

 

 

[MBAM 2.2.1: No Definitions Updates after May 19]

I agree. I just installed the new version and it 1) sucks and 2) wouldn't recognize my lifetime license and 3) crashed chrome completely.  So, I'm not paying for this.  Goodbye malwarebytes!

A couple of weeks ago Malwarebytes was happy to take my funds to renew my licences on my 3 older computers running Windows 7 /  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Home Premium 2.2.1.1043 without ANY mention that they were chopping of the Definitions for us older version users 

I rely on my computers for many reasons - economic, medical etc - and don't want to risk trashing my computers messing around with some newer versions that may or may not work ......

Sorry Malwarebytes  - You have dropped the ball on this - I am certain you could FIX this for me and many others in a similar situation in a short time  - just let us keep updating the definitions asap 

 

 

[Best Upgrade Method]

Based on the experiences of many members here - what have you found to be the better method of upgrading from MBAM V2 - to V3 - install over the top or use mb-- clean ????
