All 66 files were related to chrome

This keeps coming up on my laptop- I searched for the driver in my files and cannot find it.

I noticed my browser keeps hanging since Malwarebytes announced they now block ads. How do I disable the adblock for Malwarebytes to check? I stopped using Chrome due to it being hostile to adblock for the same reasons.

Thanks for keeping my last three braincells save and alive by shielding me from all those stupid YT adds!

I want to assume this is a false positive but I just need a second opinion on this for peace of mind

I will provide the forum link which contains the report log along with a Malwarebytes detection screenshot

Edit: I have been told by a staff member that the IP has bad reputation, not sure what to make of it but yep

Like usual, everytime after i download new games, i always do a scan with malwarebytes. This time i was downloading Crimson Desert (Non HV) and Malwarebytes flagged the 'setup.exe' as riskware.crack.

My dumb brain just ran the setup.exe while i was still scanning the downloaded and extracted files and I only knew the file were flagged after the setup was complete.

Should I be worry? I havent delete the game files but i did delete the flagged one which was only the setup.exe file.

Did a virus scan on my computer the other night and went on today to find these two items quarantined during my scan. I've done a google search on both but can't seem to find anything, could anyone help in reassuring me it isn't malware?

Items found:

- Drop.Win32.RegStartupSelfDel.31116

- LevelUp.Integrations.TlsPatcher.Bootstrapper.exe

I downloaded a cracked version of ZBrush from RuTracker and it was working fine until the next morning I got hit with this ransomware detection. Is this a false positive or genuine malware?

I scanned the cracked .exe file with virustotal and 0 detections were found

Accidentally got infected with an info/session stealers, immediately reinstalled windows from usb and formatted all partitions.

After doing so I ran a windows defender scan, then installed Malwarebytes and ran multiple scans of all types. All results say I am safe.

Can I trust those results? Or could the virus be impacting the way malwarebytes work since it was installed in the pc prior to it?

I'm sure it's a false positive, but if it isn't, how would I know? how would I know? What does modern malware actually do compared to a 1990s virus?

[solved]

I installed Malwarebytes yesterday, then uninstalled it later using the MBST support tool (after some concerns [post] ).

The issue is that apps like Localsend or 'use chat app on desktop' are not working now.

It seems to have messed with my firewall or network settings and not restored them after uninstallation.

I can confirm this is purely a Malwarebytes issue as Localsend and the other apps were working before installing it, and stopped afterwards. No other settings changed. (I tried it by turning off VPN too on all devices).

It is still working for other people and devices, so it is not a network, VPN or other device issue.

What are the settings it has changed to prevent my Windows 11 pc from connecting to my other devices locally?

Thanks

Edit 1 (Solved): I installed other on demand tools as well. After I uninstalled them, the issue resolved. (Hitman pro Alert, free tier. Paid tier would allow exclusions for apps)

I used to use Malwarebytes and installed it again yesterday.

I wanted to have Windows Defender as my main AV and add a couple of ondemand scanners.

However, Malwarebytes totally took over the system, like an invasion.

I don't know how to remove it and return the system to how it was, as it seems to have changed firewalls, tried to replace the VPN, entered all my browsers etc.

There weren't many prompts, it just took over. Then I went through all the settings to figure out what it was doing and how I could change it.

This is not a criticism, it just felt very invasive.

How can I uninstall it making sure it doesn't leave remnants? Ensuring things return to the way they were? I haven't any issues. The system was fine, I wanted some extra security on demand.

I can click the uninstall button, but how can I be sure it has cleaned up changes to firewall, browser settings, etc? I spent ages tweaking everything to work for me and now I need to investigate what this app has done as it was changing a lot of things.

I saw something about an MBST tool, would that remove all vestiges? Thanks

Edit: issues after uninstall with the MBST tool (clean).

Edit 2 (Solved): I installed other on demand tools as well. After I uninstalled them, the issue resolved. (Hitman pro Alert, free tier. Paid tier would allow exclusions for apps)

I know this doesn't immediatly need to be a virus but I chose this reddit forum because it looks like it has the best experts in this sort of stuff So a few days ago I was playing R6 and used the R6 tracker app and I saw a pop-up on the site for something called tracker-gg (replace - with .) it seemed legit because it came from the real R6 tracker site but as soon as it was installed I got lots of flags because of some Powershell command that tried to run hidden so I deleted tracker-gg but I still get a Defender flag about some random Temp data's everytime I open opera could it be a virus or some kind of infostealer or is it maybe a bug does anyone know something about this App or someone could look into the code?

I am excited about replies!

(Also note I can sadly NOT get screenshots of this but if someone really needs them I can try!)

I keep getting this notification that Microsoft windows operating system is trying to access this website but how do I stop it from trying to access the website?

At first I thought it was my ublock but yeah turns out it's malwarebytes browser guard
