Ineed a way to determine if 64-bit or 32-bit Windows is installed, so that I can download the correct one from Microsoft. The computer is messed up so I do not have access to Windows to check it with systeminfo.
A slightly more accurate way of detecting 64-bit windows is to look for folder %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64 (commonly Windows\SysWOW64) since it contains the binaries windows uses to launch 32-bit applications it should not be present on 32-bit windows installations.This is a little more accurate than checking for Program Files (x86) because I recall seeing an installation option somewhere in Windows Vista which allows that folder to be renamed, but I've never seen one for SysWOW64.
my Malwarebytes was only running a scan for 10 seconds or so. I removed my version and now cannot re-load a version for my computer. It is an older computer, (windows xp). I have a premium key and wanted to re-install a premiu version, but can't do it.

The last version compatible with Windows XP is available here. Also, please refer to the info in the FAQ posted here for more info on legacy OS support (XP and Vista).
I am the second asking here for the recommended Malwarebytes version for XP SP3 Professional. I was using 3.3.1.2183 for a while along with XP and Vista and it was fine but I cannot find it officially here now. The link you posted contains Malwarebytes 3.5 with "legacywos" keyword and I would like to know if it has a special meaning for a special build, or simply version name?
The link that @exile360 provided is for version 3.5.1.2522, which is the final version Malwarebytes made that supports Windows XP and Windows Vista. Database updates and maintenance upgrades that are provided now are still valid on that version of Malwarebytes as well, but there will be no further updates for the program as a whole as far as XP or Vista are concerned. The FAQ link that was also provided goes into that decision in more detail.
I just installed malwarebytes ani-malware v3.5.1 in a real 32-bit 2006 machine with Windows XP Pro and I can report that apparently it connects well to the server by these days (version 2.2.1 which was previously installed did not); it shows messages like "downloading and applying updates".
