The one thing that I don't like about them is how long it takes the auto update function to pick up on a new release. I got this one the day it was released because someone else in the forum posted it, otherwise I'd have waited like the rest for it to show up on the auto update.

Thanks for the update info.

Agreed. not sure why either. Mine didn't show up as an auto update, just happened to download on a new pc so I noticed it.

I've read they stagger their updates. I think it's an effort to save bandwidth and find bugs before the build is released to the masses.

I heard the same but they must stagger it for a long time because one time I waited a long time and still didn't get the update prompt.

A week probably isn't unheard of. I found this by searching their forums for the word stagger. https://forums.malwarebytes.org/topic/166265-malwarebytes-anti-malware-214-released/#comment-948845

Fwiw I just updated my definitions in the free version and it installed the newest mbam for me just now. I don't check for updates daily though since I use it on demand.

Got the auto update yesterday afternoon.

Thanks balloonshark. It appears they are posting the auto updates quicker these days.
