Cannot Update Malwarebytes because the button isn't available


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Iam from Germany and have got a question about "Updating Malwarebytes".

I'm using the free version of Malwarebytes. Today I wanted to update it because I had the database Version 3xxx.

First of all I started Malwarebytes and swiched to the menu "Update".

The button for the Update is grey and I cannot push it?

You can see it on this screenshot of my desktop:

I don't know what to do so i just deinstalled the programm and downloaded the latest version of it.

After the installation I got the database 4059 (I think) and version 1.46.

Is it possible to update Malwarebytes without installing it again?

I hope you can help (and sorry for my bad english which I learned at german schools).

Sincerely,

RazooN

It should look like this:

Yes, but after the installation of the version (1.46 with database 4059) there is the problem, too. I cannot push the button because it's grey and not available.

Iam working with a konto with "no admin rights". Should I log in to Windows with my adminaccount?

RazooN,

If you are using XP, yes, you need to log in as an administrator in order to update. If you are using Vista or 7, you can simply right-click on the desktop icon/shortcut and select "Run as administrator", type in your password, and you'll be all set to update :)
