Update trouble

[AntP]

Like a few other people, I've had some trouble with updating my free version of MBAM recently. I update at least once a day first thing in the morning, and run a full scan at least once a month (I also scan once a week with Avira). For nearly a week, MBAM temporarily stops responding after I start the update process, then eventually updates at a noticeably slower rate than usual. Updates usually only take a few seconds, but recently take nearly a whole minute (this includes the time where MBAM has stopped responding). I've made my own topic and created logs using mbam-check and dds. I only have one protection log to offer (from a scan I ran today). My Windows user name is the same as my real name, so for privacy, I've replaced all references to my name with <User name> and <USERNAME>.

Well it looks like the computer is potentially infected or at least has some errors that need to be examined further.
