Hey Dustin......I had put this latest version on here yesterday. Today
it won't update.....saying I am not connected to the internet or check
my firewall, etc. My XP firewall is on and I am connected via cable.
Is this a bug in the program??

Cheers...Heather

Heather old girl, I had the same thing today. If you select
Malwarebytes,org as the Proxy server (in the drop-down on the main
page), no problem updating.

Cheers,

Hahaha. It was a test, to see your if you're still able to sit up
unassisted for 3 minutes or more, aware of your surroundings,
responding to external stimulus, etc. :-)

Hmm, is the XP firewall the only firewall you have up? And if you switch the
update site, will it connect then?

Dustin,
When I did the update to version 1.31 (just by clicking on Update and the
new version was installed automatically), it also told me it could not find
a connection to the Internet.
I tried it again later and it worked just fine. I believe it was the
'default' update mirror that caused the initial problem.
Very minor problem overall.
Great program.
Buffalo
PS: It updated ver 1.30 to ver 1.31 .

The updater doesn't currently have a default setting. It's chosen
randomly. This may be changing in the future, however.

I believe the issue was on the server side. MBAM's wording of this
particular situation is the problem. We are looking into changing that
message in a later build. Sorry for any confusion it may cause.

Yes to both, son. And it is working now. Seems to have been a
temporary glitch.
