That's an interesting bug. I was able to duplicate it by selecting in IE to
work offline. Also if you go to settings in MBAM and select terminate IE
before removal it will toggle IE back online and you will then be able to
update. Should be a simple fix, just have MBAM use Explorer to update
instead of Internet Explorer.
