What is the file for malwarebytes that contains the updated defs?


Recommended Posts

That's because its really located and installed here: C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

AppData folder is where Vista stores users Local Settings and Application Data, I suspect that Norton (A HUGE program) certainly has more files than Malwarebytes

But then again I don't use Norton, I use Free Avira Antivirus, which I feel is better anyway :)

The Vista file you are looking for is C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\RULES.ref

The XP location is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\RULES.ref

For future reference, if for some reason, you are unable to perform a normal update through the scanner GUI, you can copy this file from a working machine and overwrite the existing one.

A self-installing one can also be downloaded from here, but it is always older than the current one due to needing to be digitally signed and re-compiled.
