Incorrectly Reporting Malwarebytes Premium Not Updated
« on: September 24, 2021, 07:29:43 PM »
On both my Dell desktop (XPS 8930 SE) and my Dell laptop (XPS 15 7590), UCheck is reporting that my Malwarebytes Premium needs to updated from 4.4.6. to 4.4.7.  Both computers were already running MBAM 4.4.7.  Both computers are running Windows 10 x64 Pro, Build 19043.1237 (21H1), fully updated.  UCheck version is the latest: 4.1.0.0.

Thank you and have a great weekend.

Hi Phil,

It looks like the MalwareBytes developers forget to update the "version" field located inside the "35065F43-4BB2-439A-BFF7-0F1014F2E0CD}_is1" key, which cause UCheck to deduce you are still using the 4.6 version.

The only solution for now is to ignore this UCheck notification until MalwareBytes 4.8 is released. This should correct the whole thing.
Have a nice week.

Best regards.

Thank you, Curzon. I have ignored "skipped" the alleged MBAM 4.7 update on both of my computers.

Have a great day.

Hi Phil,

MBAM 4.4.8 was released today.
Could you please tell me if installing it solved the issue ?

Regards.

Curson:

I can't tell you for sure.  I only run UCheck on Friday afternoons to update both of my computers.  I always manually update MBAM, by selecting "Check for Updates" after booting up each day.  UCheck did not report any MBAM updates available on Friday, so I presume the problem is solved since UCheck did not suggest an MBAM update, but did update other programs.  I believe 4.4.8 was released the day before on Thursday.

I hope this helps.  Have a great day.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your feedback.
Yes, if UCheck does not suggest an update anymore, it means the Registry key was correctly updated this time.

Have a nice week.
Regards.
