Upgrade install Problem

[DennyC55]

Upgraded from free to Pro, downloaded OK but had problem with the install. Thought it might be because I did a free scan and never restarted computer, so I shut computer down. Restarted computer and located 3 files (2 MBAM-setup and a MBAM-exe) When I try to open the files it asks what program do I want to use to open them. Should I start the Pro download again? Thanks for any help.

Please try the following and let me know if it helps:

2. Restart your computer (very important).

3. Download and run this utility.

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

I followed your instructions and everything worked out fine. Thanks very much for the (very fast) help.

I've been a user of Malwarebytes for the last couple of years and it has helped me many times. I upgraded to the Pro version because I felt guilty getting something for nothing! Thanks again for your help and I wish both you and the Company continued success in the future.
