When you start Malwarebytes, it will tell you if a new program version is there. You don’t need to uninstall then, it will install over the existing version.
The database should be updated prior to every scan: go to “update” tab and update.
Well this is avast forums ;D
When updating, MBAM informs that a new version is available.
Depends on if you have the Pro or Free version, the Pro version can do auto updates, the free you have to do a manual update.
In the free version, by default when you check for updates it should also check for program updates, see image.
Yeah. The program itself updates automatically - or at least alerts you, when a new version is available. And if you set the updater as in my screenshot, you more or less have auto-updates for the database as well as it will ask you every day upon start to search for new database.
Adding on,
You can follow them on twitter or facebook, if you have a account. More details here : http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showforum=11
With it as an on-demand scanner I saw no need to do that, mine is set to seven days, as basically I do a scan every 7 days and I normally manually update before doing the scan even if that happens to be out of my 7 day sequence.
MANY MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO ANSWERED…
VERY HELPFUL, YOU GUYS !
