Issue with Updating MBAM

[Virgorising]

Well, I just opened my MBAM Free to update and run a scan. Was told new version available; when I try to get it, I am told I need to log in as Admin. I am always logged on as Admin.

I have no clue.

just ran my update for Free version
I did need to Uncheck the "Free Trial of Malware Bytes Premium" which is default
It only prompted with the usual Win7 UAC prompt.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.0.3.1025 (this is the version it will be upgraded to)
-not sure what version it was originally though

Edit: this may help explain

BAM was being paranoid

just ran my update for Free version and it said:

-not sure what version it was originally though

Thanks, KillerBee....I fixed it and it is now updated! I hadda mess a bit with my user accounts.

Sigh. It's always sumthin of late.🙁

PS: I had set the slider to the bottom: NEVER notify, so....I did not get NOTIFIED which you did. Never felt there was any danger cause I have tested and trust Norton IS. In this event, I think MBAM is being paranoid. Possible MY general paranoia is communicable. Kidding.

I did change the slider to default, second from top....but, it did not make me happy. Too many stupid notifications.
