More frequent updates doesn't mean better detection rates.

I haven't noticed this since I haven't purchased Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. I also use it on-demand and update from the context menu whenever I feel like it.

I update it constantly. I have noticed the increase in how often they push out new definitions. I would argue this does lead to more detection. Otherwise what are the updates for? To detect new malware of course. :D

I have the pro version as you can see in my signature. I have read in the Malwarebytes forums that the number of updates varies depending on the number of malware samples received and processed by the Malwarebytes staff. On busy malware times, more updates. I have seen it the other way too: few updates during the day.

I have a scan set up for everyday. Since I don't have my laptop on always, this means at boot everyday. It's great.
