Is that the free version you are using.
I also see that, with the last update - I think, I now do not have any choice of servers to update from whereas, before, there was a choice of two.

I manually updated this morning to 1725.
I don't see an option to select update servers.
Maybe you could try reinstalling it to kick off the updates again.

I am wondering whether the previous update had required a reboot which I had forgotten to do or just a simple glitch which a reboot resolved.
Edited header to reflect problem now resolved

I will add that MWB responds and works in all other areas. It is happily running a scan now.
Edit: Changed header again

mbam.exe /parameter
(where parameter is one of the following)
/runupdate: allows you to update the program without displaying result dialogs.

After reading the above I decided to try the /updateshowdialog parameter after closing down MWB.
Would you believe it - it updated fine while showing the update window. I now have database 1727.
Subsequent attempts using the usual interface gives me the expected 'You have the latest database version'.
Coincidence after using the /updateshowdialog parameter or did it fix something?
I'll try another update later and report what happens.

Just did another update attempt and now have database 1728.
I'll not mark this as resolved again just yet, though

Just updated to 1728.
If you are having trouble resolving the domain might be worth flushing your DNS resolver cache (I turn the darn DNS client service off anyway)
