I work at a school, and regularly suggest to lots of parents that they need a malware removal tool, and my personal choice is MBAM. Please understand, I'm spending this time as I think MBAM is an excellent program, and whenever I do a clean up an infected computer for someone, I tell them to purchase MBAM, as it will be better, quicker and cheaper than getting me to fix it again. Or if you are just picking snippets from my posts.

I'm not sure why you don't understand, or why you seem so anti about it. I am getting the opinion you are not trying or have fixed in your mind some ulterior motive for my suggestion. I'll have one more attempt at explaining my suggestion/request. Okay, I wont keep hitting the dead horse after this post. Ideally the manual update files should be easily found, and not require MBAM installed (So people can use a computer that may be a different OS amongst other reasons). Google/Web search 'update definations manually' and you will see dozens of examples of what I am suggesting: An explict way of downloading an update to the defination database that you can copy from a computer connected to the Internet to another computer without a net connection. It shouldnt be hard to do a manual update. Other websites refer to the old link too e.g. It needs an update to the text on that page as Google & Searching this forum will still direct people to that link. The old link on really needs to be removed and the old mbam-rules deleted. It seems it's been so long since being updated that even the term has been forgotten If there are any lapses in the update frequency, please feel free to stop by the official forums and let them know'. That website states: ' Someone is supposed to be updating the mbam-rules.exe download once a week now.

It is also sometimes called an offline update.Īt one time Malwarebyte provided these at the website I linked to above (See Manually Updating Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) at ), and also had a forum thread or two linking to the same location ( ). I did think manual update was a reasonably common term for downloading an update to the virus/malware definations/library from a web site, (from any computer) and manually running that file on an infected or non networked computer to update the program's database. Okay I will try and rephrase so you understand what I mean.
