[ RESOLVED ] Online installer doesn't download and install latest version of MWB


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody 👋

After 4 years, yesterday I've come back to Malwarebytes and, as the title says, there was a little issue with the online installer: neither the one from the official website version of my country (Italy), nor the one from the US official website version downloaded and installed the latest version available of Malwarebytes 😧

Indeed, if version 4.5.28 is the current version of the program, both online installers installed version 4.5.24 🤨

When I opened the Properties section, the Italian online installer had the signature v4.5.24, so this explained why it installed that version. On the contrary, the US online installer was signed with version 4.5.28, that's why I don't understand why it installed version 4.5.24 of MWB, nevertheless 🤷‍♂️

However, the issue was solved by downloading the full offline installer from this official link I've found on Google: https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mb4_offline/

Then, with this thread, i just wanted to report this bug to the staff, that's all 👍

Hi,

Thanks for posting in the Malwarebytes for Windows Help forum.

If you are having technical issues with our Windows product, please do the following:

Malwarebytes Support Tool - Advanced Options

This feature is designed for the following reasons:

  • For use when you are on the forums and need to provide logs for assistance
  • For use when you don't need or want to create a ticket with Malwarebytes
  • For use when you want to perform local troubleshooting on your own

How to use the Advanced Options:

Spoiler
  1. Download Malwarebytes Support Tool
  2. Double-click mb-support-X.X.X.XXXX.exe to run the program
    • You may be prompted by User Account Control (UAC) to allow changes to be made to your computer. Click Yes to consent.
  3. Place a checkmark next to Accept License Agreement and click Next
  4. Navigate to the Advanced tab
  5. The Advanced menu page contains four categories:
    • Gather Logs: Collects troubleshooting information from the computer. As part of this process, Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) is run to perform a complete diagnosis. The information is saved to a file on the Desktop named mbst-grab-results.zip and can be added as an email attachment or uploaded to a forum post to assist with troubleshooting the issue at hand.
    • Clean: Performs an automated uninstallation of all Malwarebytes products installed to the computer and prompts to install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows afterwards. The Premium license key is backed up and reinstated. All user configurations and other data are removed. This process requires a reboot.
    •  Repair System: Includes various system-related repairs in case a Windows service is not functioning correctly that Malwarebytes for Windows is dependent on. It is not recommended to use any Repair System options unless instructed by a Malwarebytes Support agent.
    • Anonymously help the community by providing usage and threat statistics: Unchecking this option will prevent Malwarebytes Support Tool from sending anonymous telemetry data on usage of the program.
  6. To provide logs for review click the Gather Logs button
  7. Upon completion, click OK
  8. A file named mbst-grab-results.zip will be saved to your Desktop
  9. Please attach the file in your next reply.
  10. To uninstall all Malwarebytes Products, click the Clean button.
  11. Click the Yes button to proceed. 
  12. Save all your work and click OK when you are ready to reboot.
  13. After the reboot, you will have the option to re-install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows.
  14. Select Yes to install Malwarebytes.
  15. Malwarebytes for Windows will open once the installation completes successfully.

It is not a bug. It is on purpose.

As of late Thursday (Apr 27) and still today, what's being served up by malwarebytes.com and our support tool is version 4.5.24 and this will not upgrade past this version (for now). Prior to that, it was version 4.5.27.

Both versions get regular definition updates and you'll remain protected.

Oh, I understand, thank you 😲

And, if I may ask, why is it that so? 🤔

They are seeing some issues with the notification system and mostly for trial users and marketing messages. They targeted this build to rule out a variety of changes we made related to these issues. We also pushed this build for new users/installs to help accelerate our learning.
