Update the Malwarebytes Toolset

The Malwarebytes Toolset checks for a new release at launch. If one is available, an orange notification banner appears with an option to start an in-place update. For all other components, or to manually update, use the Check for Updates feature (aka MBTS Updater) by doing the following:

  1. If you have not already done so, launch the Malwarebytes Toolset

  2. Click on the Toolbox component.

  3. Go to MyTools and click Check for Updates (aka MBTS Updater)

  4. Select the components you want to update then click Download.

  5. Follow any additional steps presented.

Any Toolbox item supported by the MBTS Updater can also be updated upon launch. If there is a new version, you have the option to download and use that one OR continue to use the older version.
