Thanks Nik. 

 

One thing not mentioned is the issue with auto-updates on start up.  I hope they've fixed that as well.

NikK

I thought about that too. Well, we'll soon find out.

 

Nice to see you back here

Simon

I've not been anywhere - you've just beaten me to it for the last couple of days!

Simon

Curiously, my Windows 8.1 laptop auto updated to the new version on the date of release, but my Windows 7 computer has yet to do so.

My malwarebytes version 2.0.2 did not do any autoupdates to a newer version.

 

I run into problems, it did not enable the malicious website protection.

 

When I do a check, I discovered that Malwarebytes release a newer version 2.0.3.

 

So I decided to download it and uninstall the old version and install the newer version.

 

Now everything back to normal.

I'll probably end up manually updating it. I'm just wondering why it auto updated on one machine but not the other.

Rusli

Yeah ... not only that you need to update anti-exploit too! From malwarebytes download.

Welcome to the world of malware and scams. I suggest that you scan your machine with some TRUSTED tools, such as F-Secure and Malwarebytes, which will hopefully remove any infections. Never, EVER, pay money for support which is unsolicited, unverified, and probably very untrustworthy, and never click on ads which claim to 'fix' your machine, as most of them will install unwanted software which screws up your computer, then they will ask you for money to 'repair' it.
