Malwarebytes database is out of date?

[DMGrier]

So I just did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 64Bit Pro on one of my machines and put a paid version of malwarebytes on the computer but for some reason it keeps saying database is out of date even though I hit the update now button. It only scans for updates for about two seconds.

Which version do you have installed 1.75 or 2.02? You may want to try 2.02.

Sorry for leaving that out but I am running 2.02

I hate that the engine doesn't automatically update anymore.

I hate that the engine doesn't automatically update anymore.

Seriously? Well with them charging yearly subscriptions for the pro edition they may want to rethink that.

Even though it is a manual update and I update the system shouldn't it show it is up to date?

I really don't care for the new version myself. Try installing the older version and see if it will update. If not, there is a problem.

Thanks John,
Installed the older version and everything is right like it should be, kind of glad to have the old version back as I was also having this problem with 2.02 where it would hang all the time.

Hopefully someday they can get it working correctly.
