Regarding the free version:

They don't house the download at their own site. Instead the download
link for their free version takes you to the download.com (CNet) page,
so you might as well as start at:

http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebyte...-10804572.html

The changelog is found at:

Since the vast majority (almost all) of the updates apply only against
the Pro (paid) version, there isn't much point in updating if you're
using the free version.

Thanks Silj.

It installed for me when I looked for Updates.

One new twist when the new version: "We have introduced a trial of the
full version of the product. Would you like to start the trial?"
Decline or Start Trial. I declined.

Then looked for updates and when done: Database updated to version 6737.

I was rather "taken aback" by this, of course, I declined.
Those that have an issue with this being in the installer are encouraged to post
your thoughts at the MBAM board.

There have been a few since your post, JD, if you hit fetch again, you should be current.

Regards,

Silj

Thanks, I use the free version and just did an update in the program. It
dl'd and installed the new version over the top.
After another def update , I did a quick scan and it was really quick
compared to what I normally get. 3min 4sec.
Another good thing was that now it finally ignores one item I had on the
ignore list, which it would not do before.
That item was a 'shell\open\command' registry entry from SpywareBlaster, I
believe.

Overall, a GREAT improvement.
Thanks again, MBAM for an even better program.

As long as I'm given the option to decline the trial version of the full
version, I've got no complaints. It's free, it works.

And I did "fetch" again and got more updates.

Thanks again Silj. For some reason I keep typing m instead of j so if I
miss that don't take offense when I call you Slim. 8-)

As noted elsewhere, the option to run the trial of the "Pro" build has
been posted.

You should - the MBAM folks have a clean-up too listed in the announcement
thread. Keep it at the handy.

Those of you that use MBAM really should get your feedback to the people
that can see what you findings are.
