Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.

If your login account does not have administartor level rights, then before starting MBAM, do this:  Locate the shortcut link Right-click the icon and select Run as Administrator and allow to run  ( answer YES).

 

If you have both realtime protection as well as self-protection selected in MBAM, you need to first turn off the self-protection using the programs Settings >>Advanced Settings screen.

 

Next, ( but only if the program is running) let's shutdown the realtime Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Go to the desktop Taskbar. See the blue-color MBAM icon in the notification area.

Do a Right-click on it with your mouse, and select EXIT.

 

{ if you are only running the Free mode program, you will not see that, so in that case you can ignore that step.}.

 

If you are unable to update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware's database, please follow the steps below :

 

1: Download our netconf replacement tool from the link below

 

https://malwarebytes.box.com/shared/static/4pro228sfm3mzl3f7eyl.zip

 

2: Unzip the zip file to Extract the "Net Conf Fix" folder on your desktop.

3: Once extracted, open the **Net Conf Fix** folder.

4: Double click on the net-replacement.bat file. If you are using Windows Vista or higher, please Right-click the net-replacement.bat file and click Run as Administrator from the menu.

5: After the tool has run, launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and click Update Now

 

Please let me know if you are able to update the database after running this tool.
