1.50, Win7, Updating Error

[yarl]

Hi:

On Win7 a user with non-admin rights gets an error popup when he tries to update the definitions (after being alerted by MB).

The popup says: PROGRAM_ERROR_UPDATING (5,0, create file) Access is Denied

My understanding is that non-admins should be able to update their defs. Is there a workaround?

Thanks

Hello yarl!

In order to update the program you either need to be logged in as an administrator or if using Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click on the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware shortcut before running it and select Run as administrator. You should then be able to use the Check for Updates button in the Update tab.

Really? That does not seem well suited to the enterprise. Is there no way to set up during install to allow updates by non-admins? I asked that same question before ( http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?s...330&hl=yarl ) and seemed to get a different answer.

The system in question has scheduled updates set but they weren't updating, from the previous post I assumed then that maybe the non-admin user could force it themselves but that doesn't seem to be the case. I really like MB but if there isn't any way for it to update while non-admins are logged in I guess it won't work in my network.

Thanks for any additional info.
