  1. i figured out how i got it to DL. The first time I was attempting to DL MB, I was using internet Explorer. I DLed the second time with Chrome and it worked fine. But using IE, it didn't. (Regular IE, not Edge) I now have real time protection layers turned on - it was the ransomeware protectionthat was turned off for some reason. I know this is confusing so I'll attempt to explain succinctly: - My definitions wouldn't update - they said 'downloading" but that they needed updating - I tried to DL the newest version of MB but it uninstalled my edition instead - I couldn't DL the clean install either - I somehow figured out how to do it, which I know now was just me accidentally changing from IE to Chrome - Now everything, fingers crossed, appears to be working and I'm running a virus scan, but I've had to do this like twice now. ** Update: everything seems to be working now. Sorry to alarm everyone.
  2. Okay, somehow I got the clean install thing to DL, and got MB back on my computer, but now it's telling me real-time protection layers are turned off. Again. The code I had before was error 5, which is probably irrelevant since I finally got it DLed. The last time this happened a fix was submitted and DLed through the definitions. Is this going to be the case again or is something else wrong?
  3. I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum a second ago, but I think this is probably the right one. Here's my original post: I'm a Premium member, first of all. I'm not sure if that matters or not. But this all started when I was notified about 10-15 minutes ago by MB that my definitions were out of date. I thought this was odd, because I have my settings set to automatically DL definitions. So I wasn't sure why it was informing me they were out of date, because it was supposed to do it, itself. So I came to the forums to see if anyone else was having the same problem. I saw someone was, so I followed the same instructions, realized I was using an old version of MB and updated, or tried to. There was an error code - I don't know what it was because it flashed on the screen too fast for me to catch it which basically said that the DL couldn't continue, and it was reverting back to my old version, only it didn't revert back to my old version, it deleted it completely from my computer. I went to MB website to DL the free version (I have my license key and ID) - but my computer won't let me DL anything. Anything that is DLed to my desktop looks like a webpage. It isn't DLing at all into an .exe file. It just looks like an Internet Explorer webpage was copied to my desktop. I can't run the regular windows free DL and I can't do the clean install DL either. It just won't DL anything at all. I just updated to Windows 10 1709, the Fall creator's update if that makes a difference, but I'm not sure what to do from here. I also have Webroot and Windows Firewall, but I tried to turn WIndows Firewall off to DL but that didn't work either. Help?
