Looks like an update bricked many systems... but fixed now.
This shouldn't ever happen in MBAM right?
It started to delete all of system32...........

Accidents do happen, right?

i hardly use MBAM now, mostly EEK, Drweb Cureit.

i always said that MBAM in RT is useless, seems that issue confirmed my statement.

My update scheduler is set to one day. I saw on their forums recommendation to set it to one hour, and that was bad thing about this...
