Malwarebytes on flashdrives

[kutchan]

I am wondering if I've already downloaded malwarebytes to my laptop - can I transfer or copy it to a USB flashdrive?

I would appreciate any instruction on how to do this so as to be able to use it on another laptop - or if it is possible.

Thank you.

Hello kutchan,

If you download successfully from the main site (or the authorized ones), you should have a setup file called "mbam-setup-1.46.exe" at the location when your browser asked you to download to. Then you can transfer and run the setup file to other machines through CDs or USB flashdrives.

Please post back if you have further questions.

Thank You

Just to add, you may also want to copy the rules file....

Here are the location for the file....

Manual Update of Definition Database

If you cannot update the database to the latest version within the MBAM window, you may follow the instructions below and update it manually:

ISSUE: I need to get the latest database onto a computer that cannot access the Internet.

SOLUTION: You can manually copy the database from a working computer using a flash drive or CD onto the infected PC. Our database file is stored in the following locations.

• Windows XP and 2000
  
• C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref
  
• Windows Vista and Windows 7:
  
• C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref
  

You can also download a manual update from HERE - NOTE: This manual update will always be way behind in version level compared to updates from within the program.
