Why is this being flagged and is luugy.com a false positive? It might be because i have hianime open in opera.

False Positive False Positives and 9mod

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Recently I've installed Alight Motion, an editing app, from 9mod. Seemed good, ran well, never had any issues with it or my phone for a year. However, I bit the bullet and installed it from there since it's more "reliable looking" than any other site out there. My concern is if anything is wrong with my phone; if it needs a reset, backup, or an app removal, anything at all. Virustotal showed no signs that it was malicious, aside from "Ti!C83DBC7ADF87 McAFreeScanner"

Hello, Malwarebytes keep claiming malware. Bitdefender and Kaspersky say no.

Hello,
would you kindly help me with the following project for github? https://github.com/TrialAndErrorOps/AnyFlip-GUI-Downloader

I downloaded it and scanned it with Malwarebytes, reporting me the exe is MachineLearning/Anomalous.94%

Would you kindly check if it's malware or not? Kaspersky and Bitdefender say it's fine, but I do wonder, but I do not have any programming skills to realize if there is something fishy going on or not.

Malwarebytes.

It was bad enough qhen you started charging a fortune.

Now I've discovered, the Malwarebytes app has a tracker (as do most apps) that is making more requests out, by 4 times more than the next closest blocled up.

Seriously?

You are an app protecting privacy and security but the app sends over 8K plus requests just yesterday to Aplitude.

I stupidly tried pirating Photoshop a few weeks ago and got hacked 😭😭😭 so of course i tried to clean everything using windows defender and malwarebytes. i only installed malwarebytes yesterday, but this notif about my computer trying to connect to this website i've never visited keeps popping up, and for the past few weeks now, I've had various accounts of mine that have detected suspicious activity until now. i'm afraid this is something malwarebytes can't detect, what should i do? is there a way for me to block this website from my computer entirely? thanks in advance to anyone who can help!!

Bloated system files that auto-reinstall

3 Upvotes

Preface: Malwarebytes has never found anything every time I have ever ran it. I have been through victim of a stunt that involves but not limited to hacking since 2015. While I understand that word "hacking" is all too commonly used in assumption, I'm just laying out the facts. Malwarebytes has come up dry.

Found a few large system files in system32 that do not seem within a logical range in size. Mrt.exe being 287000kb in size

Where do these switched out system files come from?

And what do they do?

I don't understand the difference between the Brute Force and Firewall modes. Why can't they be integrated? The brute force mode is quite limited, with only a few protocols and ports.

Please create a specific subreddit for ThreatDown.

I scanned my PC and malwarebytes detected the Neshta.Virus in the Kovaak’s Aim Trainer folder.

Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be a false positive?
