Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Corporate & v2.x [game over EOL]
Everyone using MB Corporate and versions 2.x will have seen this window when trying to update the virus database.
For that reason I began to investigate to see if it could be solved in some way with reverse engineering, but my conclusion was that it is impossible for the reasons that I will comment on in this thread.
Based on some research I've done, I believe it's no longer possible to get updates working on this versions of MB.
This is because the company decided to discontinue (EOL) versions equal to or earlier than 2.x
First of all, to be that the developers have taken offline 2 DNS records in versions equal to or earlier than 2.x.
On the other hand, the virus signature database in the Corporate version (v.1.8...) uses a .REF file that is no longer used for updates to new versions, in which I saw they use files .MBDB
Previous versions:
New versions:
From what I have read in specialized forums, the most modern versions, in addition to being more efficient, are more difficult to ***** than the previous ones.
