Thanks for posting that Mike. I don’t think it will solve my problem with the updates though. What I am running into is with a Ninite installer. Adobe decided to make the folks at Ninite pull Flash from the choices of applications one can choose to update. If one has an installer one created back when Flash was allowed, then Flash can still be updated using the installer. I use one that still has the Flash support as I find Flash to be one of the most annoying applications to update with the standard Adobe installer. The problem is that this installer also includes Malwarebytes. I could create a new Ninite installer that does not include Malwarebytes, but I would lose the ability to update Flash if I did this. So, even if I roll back the Malwarebytes version I am using, the next time I need to update Flash, I would then end up with the newest Malwarebytes as well.
I suppose I could do the rollback and then roll Malwarebytes each time I need to update other applications in my Ninite installer. I may do this just so I don’t need sighted help to run malware scans. I really love Ninite, but I wish there was a way to either temporarily or permanently disable updating of one or more applications included in the installer. Maybe this isn’t possible, but it would definitely be nice if it could. Of course, what would be even better would be for Adobe to get the idea that their own updater is a real pain for users and then allow Ninite to include Flash as one of the update options again. anyway, thanks again, I might just do the rollback and then just repeat the process each time I need to update Flash just because I find this prospect to be a more palateable idea than any other option I can think of.

Press enter on Malware Bytes in the system tray & arrow to, start scanner, & press enter. 2. With Malwarebytes open, tab until you land on the Exit button. 3. Press the up arrow key once, which will place you on the tabs that contains Scanner, Protection, Update, etc. 4. Hold down the Ctrl key and right arrow to the, Settings, tab. 5. On the Settings tab, tab 1 time & you'll be on the, General tab but, do not tab right here. You want to press, control + right arrow, to the, Updater Settings Tab. Now on the, Updater Settings Tab, tab 1 time to, Download and install program update if available, & uncheck this box. Tab 1 more time to, Notify me when a program update is ready for installation, & uncheck this box as well. 6. Now tab to, Exit, & press enter. Take care.

I am kind of stuck. My Ninite installer that still includes the Flash updaters also has Malwarebytes, so, even if I manage to go back to the previous version, I will be stuck with the really annoying and clumsy Flash update system from Adobe themselves. Of course if Adobe would get off their high horse and allow Ninite to put Flash back on the list of available updaters, I could then just make a new installer without Malwarebytes. For now, I am just getting sighted help to run a Malwarebytes scan each week.

You must have the executable of version 1.7.5. Duyahn Hello and welcome to the Malwarebytes product support. Thank you for choosing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as your anti-malware security solution, my name is Fernando Gil and I'll be assisting you today. As you may know, Malwarebytes 2.0 does not currently feature the options as version 1.75 for the visually impaired however our development team is working on adding that in a future release. To disable the notifications for upgrading Malwarebytes simply go to the Settings tab and click on the Updater Settings There you will need to uncheck the boxes next to the following options: "Download and install program update if available." "Notify me when a program update is ready for installation." Restart Malwarebytes. Please let me know if this helps you.
