Antivir and Malwarebytes Not Updating

Recently I noticed on several different computers that both Antivir and Malwarebyte’s AntiMalware were not able to update.

I found a good posting on the AntiVir forum that described how to get the updates for both programs to work.

Basically the problem is due to a driver 32 virus. You can manually remove the virus by navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32 and then deleting the key that has a “..” in the value.
