Hi, Monday, while updating the database, I got a pop up saying that there was a new version of Malwarebytes so I let it update to 2.1.8. I had 2.1.6. I tried to let it update and it hung up on "Checking for updates". I uninstalled it and reinstalled 2.1.6 and it updated. Tonight I completely uninstalled Mawarebytes and installed the new version and it still hangs up on "Checking for updates". I'm using the Premium Version. Any ideas on what to do? Thanks!

Ok, thank you very much! I sure wished that I would have kept that file that came in with the Foxit Application (.exe) install file, but when the scan picked up the PUP, I got a little scared and deleted it out real quick. If I happen to get it again, I will leave it and post in here. At least everything is ok now. Again, thank you very much for your help!!!

Well, I don't know what happened when I installed Foxit last week, but I've redownloaded it and installed it and I'm not getting the PUP files from the scan now. In my first post I mentioned that I had uninstalled Foxit, well at that time I had already deleted the PUP files from Malwarebytes. When I install a program, I always download the file and save it in a folder on the Computer. That way if something happens and I have to uninstall one I don't have to redownload it. Last week when I downloaded Foxit, there was another file (I don't know what it was) besides the Foxit Application (.exe) file that showed up in my folder that I save them in. I had never seen that file when I used Foxit on the old XP Computer. That other file is where the (PUP.Soft32Downloader) came from. When I deleted it out of Malwarebytes, it deleted that file out of the Computer. This time when I downloaded Foxit, I didn't get the other file. All I have now is the Application (.exe) file like I had in the XP machine. Wished I hadn't deleted it now. Sorry for the long post, but here's the scan using the developer switch. As you can see it didn't pick up anything.

The site said it had already been analysed, but I went ahead and had it reanalysed. The first link is of the scan before and the second is the one I did. It looks to be ok. If so, does that mean it's safe to use Foxit? https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/ad1e0bab388ebf363aa554420d1c7623e06371cbbc8049cc1f8f2bae1a9ae7a4/analysis/ https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/ad1e0bab388ebf363aa554420d1c7623e06371cbbc8049cc1f8f2bae1a9ae7a4/analysis/1383279213/

Thank you Daledoc1, I'll check that out. Here's the scan before I removed it. I did run a scan with my Anti-Virus and it came up with nothing.

I did a scan today with Malwarebytes and it found a PUP in the Foxit Reader installer. This is a new Windows 7 Computer I got last week. I used Foxit on an old XP machine for around 3 years and Malwarebytes had never picked up anything before from Foxit. Has anyone else reported this? I let Malwarebytes remove the installer and I have also uninstalled Foxit from the Computer. Is there anything else I need to do? This is what it picked up. Files Detected: 1 C:\Downloaded Setup Files\foxit reader setup.exe (PUP.Soft32Downloader) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully. Thanks for any help!

Thank you Mainard! I'll check that out about the exclusions.

Has anyone had any issues using the free Version of Avast with the free Version of Malwarebytes?
