Hello Gmanson

are you referring to (page last updated 7-23-2010) ?

I fairly sure that this is more than likely the last time that webpage was modified the links for Malwarebytes are good the Experts working the forums use them all the time so they stay pretty up to date the manual update does usually run a little behind the current definitions, the definition there I downloaded and checked it isn't too far off for the offline update,

the current definitions are 4783

the offline update is 4700

Yeah i was so thanks.

On site link to updates in the FAQ section (item #4) - Usually a bit closer than GT500's site -

Due to policy change at Malwarebytes, I am no longer allowed to detail the proceedure for manually copying the database

Thanks -

I always thought the GT500.org site was a bit behind our onsite link - He must be linked to the same item -

The offline rules should be updated now.

@Ron,

Any particular reason why you guys stop advertising the procedure to stop manually copying the database? Increase of infected flash/thumb drives? If you can't disclose the details, I understand completely.

Hi Swagger,

I know you didn't ask me but MY guess (and don't take my word for it) is because Mbam will be moving to incremental updates at a future date (within the next few months I believe), that may be why manual update procedures aren't being advertised. Once incremental updates are in place, manual updates will no longer be possible, as far as I understand.

mountaintree16: I believe this part of your statement is incorrect. Please read this explanation

[AdvancedSetup]

They're basically becoming more complex due to improvements required to detect and remove some Malware. The copy over will still work but can invalidate the metadata that the system stores so even if you did do it you should update manually the proper way as soon as you can. We are working on another update method but it's not ready yet.

Thanks for the clarification, Ron.

Thanks Ron.

Why not make a button with link in the program Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware where people can dowload the offline installer
