Manually update Malwarebytes without Internet access

Question

At my work, we use multiple AVs for virus-infested computers. One of the last ones I use is Malwarebytes, and I still love it. In the past, I've been able to boot into Safe Mode with Command Prompt on Windows XP or higher, run the install file from %PROGRAMDATA%\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware, then copy the rules.def file into the same folder on the other computer to update it.

Since the new versions with the blue icon, I have not been able to do that, as it is obviously looking elsewhere for other files, or different settings. If I copy the file over the old rules.def file, MWB just says that it is corrupt and needs to be reinstalled or get new updates online.

How can I manually update Malwarebytes without Internet access, while in Safe Mode with Command Prompt?

Answer 1

In addition to moving the rules.ref file (or rules.def as you note possibly?), it looks like versions 1.60 and newer also need to update the database.conf file inside the Configuration folder, which is in the same folder as rules.ref.
