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:

http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index...5&#entry435265

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.

You really need to update to ensure the definitions can all continue to
be properly interpreted by the underlying engine. Please don't post
advice when you're talking from your ass.

I was referring to the *program* update which was the topic of this
thread. Yes, you still need to get the *signature* updates to remain up
to date. Since nothing in the new version (free or paid) has added new
heuristics or schemes for better detection, all you need are the
signature updates with the older version.

If you have the paid version, some of the updates might interest you.

I'm going to try once more.. The "program" update, IS the ****ing engine.
Again, it's best you keep BOTH updated.

Idiot.. I used to work for the company.. but, **** it, you know more I
guess.

Oh yes, Dustin, we are certainly convinced of your claimed expertise by
such a professional response. (rolls eyes) Oh, please, grant us your
shining expertise by pointing out just where MBAM points out what
changes were made to their *engine*. Yeah, I thought so.

I see you can't even figure out a legitimate right-id token for the MID
header that you chose to have Xnews generate for you.

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

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.

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

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

You're welcome.
