Thread: Malware AntiMalware Bytes Update Error

I've been using MalwareBytes AntiMalware for a while and it seems to catch more dodgy, possible trojans, than other similar programs. Now they've upped to a new version 1.46 and after installing I'm getting this error when I try to download the latest spyware definitions.



On their website they say it's a Symantec problem so I've done a permit all on every MBAM file. Still doesn't work. They also suggest using a proxy server to update. That doesn't work either.

Any ideas ?

Does your Application Event log contain any errors from when this try and updates?

Can't see any.

Try reading or posting here:

Malwarebytes Forum -> General Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Forum

Malwarebytes Forum -> Security Software Updates

Looks like it's a Norton problem. The fix they suggest doesn't work for me, which is turn off "Privacy Control".

Jeepers. I thought that was my virus for a sec

Norton is quite an evil piece of software, I thought nobody was using them these days

Success of sorts.

To update MalewareBytes Antimalware I have to disable Norton Internet Security.

gotta agree with butter here , much as it pains

Norton is simply a resource hog and you pay cash for it

avast does the same job for free

Anyone can tell you Norton is a sack of shit; McAfee is even worse.

But I asked Butters a simple question, viz:

Please oh wise one - tell us which is the best (without having to Google it).

And he can't answer without Googling it.
