Today, I recently upgraded to Avast Internet Security. Malwarebytes told me that it needed to update it’s databases, and was blocked by Avast. So I changed the settings in the firewall so that MBAM is allowed all ports and whatnot, and it’s still not able to update. Any help on this issue?
is ur windows firewall still on?
it seems weird that i am asking u this qn but Avast! firewall within internet security is completely compatible with windows firewall and runs with it.
make sure u delete all MBAM rules in windows firewall
please post back 
I didn’t actually see anything about MBAM in the Windows Firewall, strangely.
dunno if this will work, but try deleting the rule for MBAM in Avast! firewall instead of changing it?
as i am not using the firewall itself, i am not sure if there is an ask mode, if there is, activate it and run MBAM update.
allow all firewall queries
Running MBam and AIS requires exclusions to be set , follow this guide >> http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=10138&st=0&p=417798&#entry417798
