I just want to know if the item should be allowed as a process or not allowed. Would someone who knows definitively about whether this is okay or not PLEASE REPLY, it would be very helpful.

Hi Rude1 -

This is just your firewall picking up the new version of Malwarebytes that has just been released - Allow - Good firewall -

Thank You -

At this point the installer update may not work correctly. If you do run into issues with MBAM installing and updating to version 1.43 then please follow the directions below.

Please delete your current copy of the installer. Then temporarily disable your Anti-Virus and Firewalland follow the directions below.

Please try this on the computer that is having an issue.

1. Uninstall Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware using Add/Remove programs in the control panel.

2. Restart your computer (very important).

3. Download and run this utility. mbam-clean.exe

4. It will ask to restart your computer (please allow it to).

5. After the computer restarts, install the latest version from here. mbam-setup.exe

Note: You will need to reactivate the program using the license you were sent

Launch the program and set the Protection and Registration. Then go to the UPDATE tab if not done during installation and check for updates.

Restart the computer again and verify that MBAM is in the task tray and that you can run a quick scan and all is working as expected.

Then re-enable your Anti-Virus and Firewall.

Thank you noknojon and Ron for the input.

I got it to install once I allowed it via the firewall and temporarily disabled my A-Squared protection.

All went quite smoothly after that.

Your responses were very helpful.

Cordially,
