Hey Dustin......I had put this latest version on here yesterday. Today
it won't update.....saying I am not connected to the internet or check
my firewall, etc. My XP firewall is on and I am connected via cable.
Is this a bug in the program??

Cheers...Heather

Heather old girl, I had the same thing today. If you select
Malwarebytes,org as the Proxy server (in the drop-down on the main
page), no problem updating.

Cheers,

Hmm, is the XP firewall the only firewall you have up? And if you switch the
update site, will it connect then?

Dustin,
When I did the update to version 1.31 (just by clicking on Update and the
new version was installed automatically), it also told me it could not find
a connection to the Internet.
I tried it again later and it worked just fine. I believe it was the
'default' update mirror that caused the initial problem.
Very minor problem overall.
Great program.
Buffalo
PS: It updated ver 1.30 to ver 1.31 .

Yes to both, son. And it is working now. Seems to have been a
temporary glitch.

colicky baby? Wink

The updater doesn't currently have a default setting. It's chosen
randomly. This may be changing in the future, however.

I believe the issue was on the server side. MBAM's wording of this
particular situation is the problem. We are looking into changing that
message in a later build. Sorry for any confusion it may cause.
