It was only $50, so not too much of a loss. Very well could've been worse. In the back of my mind I thought it might turn out like this. Learned my lesson. Thanks for the fast and helpful reply. PS: On a side note, is this actually true? It seems hard to believe with what little firmware is stored on a USB drive.. Here's the link. http://www.wired.com/2014/07/usb-security/

Hello. I've been a long time user of MBAM, and don't install anything that seeems dodgy. Common sense has been my best friend, while MBAM saved the day here and there. My question is this thing already on my computer, and if not, is there any safe install for the software? The software I bought off the net is SolidWorks 2014, and it's the real-deal (hopefully). Before I even opened the flash drive, I scanned it with MBAM and this is what came up. Name: Malware.Packer.Gen Type: File Location: F:\SW14\SW201464X\SolidWorks 2014 x64\Permanent Activation\PDMWorksKeyGen.exe I had the option to quarantine, but instead just pulled the drive, without the 'safely remove...' and rescanned my entire computer. Nothing has shown up in the scans yet. Only found four posts on MBAM forums, and for different softwares. Any help is greatly appreciated. Hoping it's a false positive but doubtful based on it's dubious name.

All I did was run the mbam-clean then reinstall, enter the key/id and it's all good. Thanks. I saw the update 1.65.0.1000 when updating this morning and didn't go through because for some reason spybot s&d decided it doesn't like mbam updating. Screw spybot, it's now gone. Thanks for help read a few more from link you gave.

Ok, here's my question about this update. I have MBAM 1.65.0.1400, and db version v2012.10.18.06 . Why is the update going form 1.65.0.1400 to 1.65.0.1000 when MBAM wants to update? Would running mbam clean and reinstalling be better? Thanks

Hello anyone who reads this I'm new forum member. First post. If anyone knows Romanian, or free places on the web to learn more, I'm trying to learn to speak it for free and somewhat limited tutorials/guides out there are kind of limited.. Thanks and hello again! (wazzzuuuppp!!!) Information about me regarding posting on forums: Always have respected forum admins, don't flame/troll anyone, and general respect for everyone. Really could care less about signatures. Never posted racist, or sexist, religious (i.e. no jokes about religion) or threatening statements. I am few year older than 'teenager' so no worries there. Also I don't post NSFW topics/links. Like to make corny jokes every now and then, none intended to ever be offensive. Try my best to help others I came from another forum that is now being blocked by peerblock and Kaspersky, so that's why I'm switching, among some other reasons. (My posts got randomly deleted at cnet, they say they 'lost' it.) Well above average familiarity with software relating to Windows 2000, XP, & 7, planning to shy away from Windows 8 for about a year until the kinks/bugs/whatevers are worked out. Not quite sure what the word is for this, but think that 'super-new-novice' would apply because I'm just starting to try and get familiar with current hardware, mainly desktops as laptops and I don't really seem to agree. Are posting links (from a credible source(s)) to various websites while trying to help someone on forums acceptable? Example would be someone asks for help and instead of retyping or copy/paste the content, just post a link that 'says it all'. Thanks whoever reads this it's probably one of the longer posts I'll ever put on here. Take care yall!
