It seems to have been removed in version 5.3.1 5.4.1.

In previous versions there was a command din the menu extra to manually update the protection definitions. It seems to have been removed in version 5.3.1

Please update the support site to include 'release history and news' for Malwarebytes Mobile Security version 5.x. TIA!

So, currently AFAIK the only way to manually check for updated protection definitions is to use the "Update Protection" menu item from the Malwarebytes menu extra. If we choose to hide the menu extra (Notch anyone?) then it seems that there is no way to do a manual update of the protection definitions. Adding this command to the Malwarebytes.app would be helpful.

I realize that this is a very anecdotal report but I wanted to mention it nonetheless... I recently updated from Malwarebytes 4.8.12 to 4.10.4 using the apps built-in updater on a MacBook (Mid 2010) running macOS 10.13.6 (with FileVault enabled.) Shortly afterwards I restarted the machine, selected a user and entered the password. The fans on the machine started running at seemingly full blast and the login progress bar failed to show any activity. This continued for at least 20 minutes at which point I reluctantly decided to force the machine to power off by holding down the power button. After waiting a few minutes I powered on the machine and was able to successfully login and boot up.
