Version 2.2.1.1043 will not install

[MaineHomesteader]

Malwarebytes says my program version is out of date but when I click to 'install now' it goes through all the boxes until it reaches the final box saying 'installing' and it disappears. I am attempting to install program version 2.2.1.1043 Premium. And no, I cannot screenshot it as the box disappears. I get no install. The database version is up to date however.

I have solved the issue. Bitdefender Total Security 2016 was the problem in that one of it's modules was preventing the update. I turned everything off and all went smoothly with the install.

Thank you for the confirmation.  I have also seen 2 other cases with Bitdefender that were resolved as well by

1- turn off B D  antivirus Virus Shield

2- not going with the "upgrade prompt-message mini-window" but rather doing a direct download and save of the setup file to a saved location on disc

3 - run the setup

4 - turn B D back on

5 - insuring trust settings in both softwares  ( Bit Defender & also in M B A M)

In order for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Bitdefender  to work together instead of conflicting, you should  configure both applications.
