[QUOTE="gorblimey, post: 1086755, member: 65556"] Thank you for responding. That is one of the very confusing bits of this mess. I know the version is about a century out of date, but Mbam has never actually updated it that I can remember, in spite of the fact that every time I exhume it for a scan (every second month, with EEK in between) I automatically -- manually -- tell it to update, then let it scan. It does update the signatures, but I had always assumed that being the only update button I can see, it would update the app as well. Expecting too much maybe? I did think about creating an account on Mbam site, but this one I want out in the open. Just for the record, now that I know about the SHA-2 thing, I would download the KB myself, where I would be able to see if any prerequisites need to be installed first. I have a shrewd suspicion that that is the root of the failure. Yes my box and OS make legacy look very youthful, but I've seen nothing later than 7 that was or is any better than XP, probably Microsoft's worst disaster. (I went from W2K straight to 7. W2K was a dream come true!) [/QUOTE]
