Interesting. I was just prompted to run a scan because new downloads were detected, so I did. After that, I also checked for updates, since I did not check yesterday at all, playing catch up after the Memorial Day holiday on Monday.

I got an update all right - just a slightly newer one.

Just a quick itty bitty update.
As RTeeL & Porthos have suggested I will open a support ticket as from what RTeeL has written I seem to have exactly the same thing as happened to him.
I expect the support team to update my KEY like they did for RTeeL.

Why don't you pay us a visit at the Malwarebytes forum and we can work through any issues you have.

First I found I was running WIFI and ethernet together which fixed my slow issue when I disabled WIFI. It was an error.

Thank you for the invitatation to the MBAM forum but I am using the free edition. I go to advanced scan and check all drives and rootkits checked also.

I did no think free users could use the forum at MBAM? 👍

Please take this to the Malwarebytes forum. This section of this forum is for announcing new versions not really for issues.
I will be waiting to see you there.
