Hi.  Today my Malwarebytes reported that its updates weren't current.  When I tried to update, it informed me that it was unable to initiate anti-rootkit software and so I should restart.  After a restart, it said nothing about anti-rootkit software, but once again informed me that the updates were not current.  When I tried to update, it checked for a second or two and then told me once again that the updates were not current.  I restarted a few times to no avail, uninstalled Malwarebytes and used the mbam-clean utility, then reinstalled the latest version from the website.  Once reinstalled, I asked it to check for updates -- it found some, installed them, applied them, and then informed me that updates weren't current.  Subsequent attempts to update give no result.  Any clue as to what's going on? Should I be worried? I have Malwarebytes Premium 3.5.1.  Attached are my Malwarebytes Support Tool logs.

I waited a couple of days, enduring countless nag popups, to update because I was nervous after the last time when it started spewing scary messages until the patch. I decided it was best to let it settle in, check for any "ack this is broken" messages, and then install the new version. I installed the new version two hours ago, and now this scaring the heck out of me until I found this thread. My poor nerves!

Many Malwarebytes (MB) users, myself included, were inconvenienced this afternoon because MB may not have announced their scheduled server maintenance; I do not remember being notified. I therefore suggest they add a line to their maintenance script, near the top: "Notify customers before we begin our work!".

I found this thread before I uninstalled MB, but after documenting our common problem. I feel fortunate, and hope the repairs will be quick and effective.

And because Tech Support asked for the logs, I have attached mine for review.
