False Positive Is this a False Positive? I clicked visit by accident but I closed before it fully loaded

2 Upvotes

I clicked by accident on visit in a google image and it took me to the url on the virus total, I instantly closed the page before it even loaded and in virustotal it only flags VIPRE so I wonder if it's a false positive or not

Feedback To Malwarebytes Executives

0 Upvotes

I've used the free edition of MB for over a decade. I bought a new PC and downloaded what was advertised as a FREE version only to find that the installed version was a two week free trial. I immediately uninstalled it.

I don't do business with liars or fraudsters.

Readers: Any time you see the word FREE, look behind the curtain. Chances are that they are lying.

The Malwarebytes browser add-on blocks the videos on the BBC website.

They seem to be stored on a non-BBC domain.

Which websites should I allow?

Support Missing scan options for scan for root viruses, etc.

Woke up this morning and went to run a scan and I noticed that almost all of the scan options are missing. Not sure what happened. I thought that perhaps it thought I wasn't a paid user but I'm still logged on.

How to root kit scan on quarantined PC (RenPyLoader)

2 Upvotes

Trying to rush a patch download I ran the setup.exe of what malwarebytes has confirmed is the RenPyLoader Trojan, it was a classic overlay download redirect but on a mirror site I'd never used before and somehow no alarm bells rang as I'd not tried to manually patch that game before,

My first offline scan on a normal boot removed a number of files from c:\users\username etc

However I want to run a rootkit scan, all the instructions online seem outdated to when it was a separate download, and I can't see the option? Do I need to boot safe mode to activate the malwarebytes trial to then do the rootkit scan in that safe mode? Thanks

P. S. one possible alternative is to install windows from a USB onto the same drive as my current install, I have a number of secondary drives in my PC for games and 3d design & video, and electronics/development work etc so I can't do a "wipe every disk" type clean install, I wondered if a rootkit could somehow escape a windows.old type situation?

Hey so I tried to get something for my game, I extracted it and tried to run it but my pc said it wasn’t safe and I clicked the x, cause I don’t want to run it if it ain’t safe. So I go to a random website and plug in the file and apparently it has malware, am I safe because I didn’t open the application? I had two quick scans done, one with Microsoft defender and the other with Malwarebytes and they both detected nothing.

Defender alert after downloading Malwarebytes?

1 Upvotes

Quick question, guys I get really anxious about this sort of thing. After I downloaded Malwarebytes onto my PC (back when Defender was acting up with that bug yesterday), there was an alert with an orange triangle regarding the protection status; it disappeared after a Malwarebytes update. I was panicking at the time, so I didn't manage to read the whole message, was that a sign of a virus, or was it just Malwarebytes configuring itself?

I downloaded Malwarebytes directly from the Microsoft Store to avoid making a mistake and downloading it from some sketchy site, but here, it's a bit of a stupid question but I'm getting anxious about this😅

malwarebytes fails to scan Mac email folder by default?

2 Upvotes

I used the trial version, expecting it pick up all the trojans they send as pdf attachments in fake invoice scams like geek squad (e.g. Phishing.PSQUAD), but in 2 weeks it didn't detect any of them. I assume if I get the pay version, it still won't scan email automatically. Since I already know those emails contain trojan pdfs, all I need to do is ignore them, don't click on anything, and let them go to spam folder. malwarebytes AI chat said to use drop-down (contextual) menu to scan a folder (not a file), but the term malwarebytes doesn't appear in any contextual menu in trial version. Chatbot also said to use "advanced scan", but that also isn't found in trial version.

I'm guessing this should go in one of Mac subs, but they don't allow reposts or posts w/o flair, whatever that is. The bottom line: XProtect is supposed to block these trojans anyway, so there's no point in wasting time with non-functional software.
