Hello Krusty13:

My ping's 500ms time results, through Sydney and Melbourne connected locations, along with no packet losses is well within the range of reasonable expectations.

If the above were the ping results from only one system, would you please try the same ping test from your other computers and let us know.

Thank you.

 

It is basically the same on all machines.

C:\Windows\system32>ping data-cdn.mbamupdates.com

Hello Krusty13:

The common point of failure now seems to have landed on your router. You have posted previously that you power cycled your router (and systems) and by definition, that amounts to rebooting your router. I too would have done precisely the same thing.

However, it would seem that your router might now be in need of a factory reset. As a factory reset will restore all configuration parameters back to original factory settings, you would do well to first log into the router and record all the present settings you have changed since the router's original installation.

The following will give you generalized router information: http://setuprouter.com/networking/how-to-reset-your-router/

However, nothing quite compares to the manufacturer's reset instructions for your particular router model/revision.

Cheers.

 

I really wasn't expecting the problem being my router as per - #271

I have gone one step further and changed my router to another completely different brand. This, as expected, has made absolutely no difference. 1PW, please remember that I have had no trouble accessing any websites and can happily update Windows, Norton, SpywareBlaster and SuperAntiSpyware, can download all emails and RSS feeds. The only problem I'm having is MBAM.

This site is also saying http://data-cdn.mbamupdates.com is currently down.

http://currentlydown.com/data-cdn.mbamupdates.com

While it is great that you guys who have posted here have no problem I don't believe I'm alone. Oh, on a clean install of Windows 10 on one machine I can't even download MBAM because the site times out.

Thanks.

 

Same issue here Krusty13, I guess someone pulled the plug out for Australia

 

Offline database update - http://downloads.malwarebytes.org/file/mbam_rules
MBAM installer:
https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbam_current/
or
https://data-cdn.mbamupdates.com/web/mbam-setup-2.2.1.1043.exe

 

Thanks bidd! That does make me feel better.

Thanks kaljukass, but unfortunately I cannot access any of those URLs.

I do have a copy here I could install but not much point if I can't update it.

 

It sounds like a problem with your ISP, as the links are working for me.

 

Yes Roger, that thought has crossed my mind. I wouldn't be surprised if Telstra were to blame.

I can't access http://downloads.malwarebytes.org/file/mbam_rules from my mobile either, also with Telstra but not connected to my home network.

@bidd , who is your ISP, if you don't mind me asking?

 

Hello Krusty13 and bidd:

Your observations certainly make sense now.

Good luck with your ISP(s).

 

Yeah I'm Telstra as well

I just attempted with an Optus line and cant connect to the links with them either.

 

Hello Krusty13 and bidd:

For the benefit of others, please update this thread when you believe your ISP's issues have been resolved.

Thank you.

 

Well, the plot thickens. I've found out this morning that I also cannot download Norton Utilities 16. If I type www.norton.com/nu16 then press Enter I am taken to a Support page with a link to download NU16, but just like MBAM, It will not even attempt to download. IE 11 gives a HTTP 500 error.

There are quite a few reports of my ISP having connection issues across the country so I'm wondering if they are restricting access to certain CDNs. Would they do that? Why?

 

I still feel comfortable with this program installed.

 

Krusty - have you tried this with a different dns server like Open DNS?

 

Yep!

It looks like others are also reporting this on their site.

I have already performed their Clean Removal Process and it did not help. In fact this is a clean Win10 install and brand new MBAM install and I still cannot update, or even download MBAM.

 

Hi Krusty - just checked my MBAM on 2 machines - my everyday computer has 2016.9.10.3 but my lap top that I only switch on once or twice a week to update security etc has the same as you - 2016.9.4.1

I am in Victoria ..... and am wondering like you now if its just us here in Oz ?? ..... and why ?

 

Hi Oz Bad Cat,

It looks like your other machines def's are a couple of days old too.

I'm in NSW by the way. I hope you're not flooded out?
