DanL Posted January 27, 2009 ID:50994 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I recently installed MBAM and did initial update. Shows database version 1686. This is ver. 1.33.Whenever I check for updates it acts like it's downloading and then says it has updated from 1686 to 1686.Is this normal?Thanks!

QuizMaster Posted January 27, 2009 ID:50996 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The latest is 1697. When the database is up to date, it usually says "You have the latest database version." You might be having some issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted January 27, 2009 ID:50998 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Try rebooting, then check for updates again to see if that fixes it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff TeMerc Posted January 27, 2009 Staff ID:51065 Share Posted January 27, 2009 This issue reared it's head last week and was supposedly resolved, but I've got one user in support also now experiencing this.Lets hope it gets resolved just as quickly.

DanL Posted January 27, 2009 Author ID:51067 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Re-boot didn't help.I'll try a re-install tomorrow. This is a vista 64 machine, not sure if that would matter.Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted January 27, 2009 Root Admin ID:51074 Share Posted January 27, 2009 It could just be the time difference between updates on different servers. Once the update is pushed out then all 900 Servers have to get a copy of it and the caching of browsers and sites plays into it somewhat. I would just wait till tomorrow and try the update again.

DanL Posted January 30, 2009 Author ID:52007 Share Posted January 30, 2009 After re-installing MBAM updated fine and would also show current version is up to date when no update needed.After a re-boot yesterday I'm now back to successful update from 1701 to 1701.

GT500 Posted January 30, 2009 ID:52031 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Do you use a proxy of some sort? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanL Posted January 30, 2009 Author ID:52033 Share Posted January 30, 2009 No proxy.Didi a re-install again this morning and all is well for now.After update if I tried to update again I would get the "you have the latest database version" message.A few minutes ago I ran the update and got "successfully updated from 1708 to 1709".Good for now!

DanL Posted January 31, 2009 Author ID:52272 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Re-boot this morning brought back the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500 Posted January 31, 2009 ID:52285 Share Posted January 31, 2009 What security software are you using? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanL Posted January 31, 2009 Author ID:52319 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Eset Smart Security. SAS, and MBAM. MBAM is not running full time or real time protection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500 Posted January 31, 2009 ID:52322 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Are there exclusions set in your firewall policy to always trust MBAM? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanL Posted January 31, 2009 Author ID:52340 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The firewall is on auto. It lets MBAM update freely. The problem only occurs after re-boot.Then MBAM starts saying it is updating successfuly to the same version over and over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanL Posted January 31, 2009 Author ID:52347 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I just stopped all traffic and tried to update. That causes MBAM to display "update failed. Make sure you have a connection and MBAM has access to internet".When I allow traffic again and click update, MBAM goes back to "the database was successfully updated from version 1711 to 1711".Not the firewall.But I do appreciate the help.

GT500 Posted February 1, 2009 ID:52412 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Not the firewall.Can you turn the firewall off, try the update, then reboot and see if it persists? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanL Posted March 1, 2009 Author ID:60717 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Well, I finally solved this problem. MBAM can only be updated while in the admin account.I spend most of my time online in a user account. I can update other programs in the user account,some require typing in the admin password.With MBAM I have to switch users and log into admin to update.Is there any way around this?
