malwarebytes new version

[liketolisten]

when a new version of malwarebytes comes out, do you have to reinstall or just use the update when you have real time protection?

You can just reinstall over the old most times with no issues.

but when i do that, i lose my real time protection, i have to uninstall the old version, use mbam, clean then reinstall the new one every time. istnt there an easier way?

Something on your system is interfering with install. Try disabling all antivirus during installation.

That shouldn't happen at all.

ok i will try it, but i have akready have all the mabam exe.s in my trusted zone in my anti-virus. looks to me it wouldnt make a difference.

It could be the AV blocking the installer for the new version itself, as it would be impossible to have it added to the trusted zone since it gets downloaded and executed from a temp location. I know Kaspersky always blocks some features (the drivers) from installing properly unless I tell it to ignore the setup file for a new version as it starts to execute. If your AV doesn't give a warning but instead just blocks it by default then the only solution would be to temporarily disable the AV while MBAM's new version installs.
