  1. @MT16 - Have you checked out Windows Photo Gallery? Looks to have very similar functionality. I love it on my W7 system for simple viewing/rotating/printing. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/photo-gallery http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/photo-gallery IrfanView is also good plus you have some additional editing capabilities. This is not Photoshop though. Not the intention. http://www.irfanview.com/ Don't miss the additional plugins http://www.irfanview.com/plugins.htm Sorry if this post is off topic. I know Ron is pretty strict about that.
  2. Now, Now. It's not just Michelle and Barack (but that was funny.) Don't forget that big business knows an awful lot about most of us too. Darn databrokers.
  3. Just thought I would update this a bit. Opswat AppRemover no longer asks to install anything extra. Oddly enough, it is still labeled as version 3.0 As Ron said earlier, in most cases you are likely better off using the manufacturer's removal tool, but it's nice to have something else in your pocket to at least try too.
  4. User being assisted on the help desk so I am closing this thread.

  6. As Chris said, there is a tool bar extension available that is easily uninstalled. However, even if nothing is installed, be aware that Meebo can still load tool bars at certain sites by running JavaScript from the site. Entertainment Weekly and TVGuide are two amongst others. Meebo can load the tool bar even on a fresh installation of Firefox. For Firefox you can use the NoScript add on by Giorgio Maone which blocks JavaScript and Flash, etc from running on a site until expressly allowed. Download site at Mozilla - https://addons.mozil...addon/noscript/ Developer's site - http://noscript.net/ To block this in Internet Explorer, you can add meebo.com to the restricted sites in Tools -> Internet Options -> Security Here's what the toolbar looks like when running in IE from Entertainment Weekly via JavaScript.
  7. Hi ajp, The important thing is that you use an updated anti-virus alongside Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro. Which one is more of personal taste. As Firefox stated earlier, many have their own favorites. The detection rates are typically pretty high though there are some that are better than others. Sadly, nothing can guarantee 100%. All it takes is one to get through to ruin your day. One of our forum experts helps explain the differences between Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and an AV application here and here. http://forums.malwar...ndpost&p=487311 http://forums.malwar...ndpost&p=507785 As to which application to use, it often boils down to how comfortable you feel with the interface and how much you want to be involved in individual decisions. Something else to consider is the level of support. Do they respond to you in a timely matter? I'm not talking about 15 minutes. That is totally unrealistic. But is it within a day? I've heard horror stories about some vendors that leave you wondering if they've even gotten your request for multiple days or never answer you at all. Some have support forums in another language if you are more comfortable with that. Kaspersky is one that comes to mind, though I've seen others as well. Regarding firewalls, again along with Firefox, for my personal needs, the Windows 7 firewall is sufficient. You cannot run multiple anti-virus applications resident in memory at the same time. They are bound to conflict with each other and believe it or not, you will be less protected instead of more protected. If you want to run another application as an on-demand scanner that should be fine. Regarding System Restore - As Seagull has said, it can save you or hurt you. However, it does not backup your system and is not always the cure-all. What we typically recommend in case an infection does take hold, is to leave it in place until we are done with the cleaning process. It is better to have an infected restore than no restore at all - just in case something goes wrong. It doesn't happen often, but it does occur. Once it is clean, we will ask you to delete any existing restore points and to create a new one. I also see that you've been trying several AV's during your quest. Unfortunately, some of them will not uninstall cleanly. You may find this link to be helpful for those recalcitrant ones. http://singularlabs....urity-software/
  8. Hi BillyNZL, It's very possible and is actually likely. If you think it is a false-positive block, you can have one of the researchers check it by posting the URL and the IP number of the block in the False Positives forum. You can get the IP number from the protection log in the Logs tab. You can also ignore the block by right clicking the tray icon and selecting the option to add to ignore list. The block notification does not still have to be showing. As long as the right click menu item is not grayed out (it's normal state) you can still add it. Another option available to you is to temporarily disable website blocking by right clicking the tray icon and unchecking Website blocking. If you forget to turn it back on, Website blocking will automatically be back in effect when you restart Windows.
  9. Hi dbomer, Please follow daledoc1's advice - we do not work on malware problems in this part of the forum. If there are steps you are unable to complete in the Malware Removal - HijackThis Logs forum, just complete what you can and skip what you cannot accomplish. That is not true. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is designed to run with a fully updated and installed anti-virus program. Most Malwarebytes Anti-Malware/AV combinations will require some configuration tweaking, but I have not seen a combination that we were unable to have running in concert together as long as the AV is able to set exclusions. Here are two forum posts about the differences between MBAM and an AV from one of our forum experts. http://forums.malwar...ndpost&p=487311 http://forums.malwar...ndpost&p=507785 You can find the recommended exclusions settings for Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware here http://forums.malwar...ndpost&p=181018 Thank you,
  10. Hi MalBoy23, Please email the Malwarebytes Consumer Support Desk at support@malwarebytes.org and we'll be happy to sort this out for you. Please refer to this post in your email. Thank you,
  11. Hi Spikey Mikey, and welcome to Malwarebytes.org Please see this post. The zip file contains two tower banners.
  12. Hi Silver, Having the protection module set does not automatically ensure that the rules definition database will be updated, though it is required for automatic updates to occur. The updater settings sub-tab is only intended for main program updates and proxy settings. Have you set the update scheduler and assigned a recovery time? Please see here for an overview of the scheduler Manual updates can be run from the Update tab regardless of the protection module settings. The program is designed to update while the protection module is running, and as stated above,in the case of automatic updates, it is required. However, manual updates do require that you be running from a Windows administrator account. If you are running from a standard limited user account, this option is grayed out because those types of users don't have privileges to make global changes that affect other users. You can check the account type by going to Control Panel -> User Accounts. If you try updating manually from an administrator account do you see any error messages? Though not needed for updates, for future reference, you can untick the check box for Start with Windows on the Protection tab and reboot to gain control of the enable protection module setting. You can also right-click the tray icon and select Exit.
  13. Hi bushed, welcome to Malwarebytes. daledoc1 asked me to comment on this. Both daledoc1 and goldhound are correct. Consumer licensing is lifetime and business use needs to be renewed annually. Best thing to do if you are a business customer is send an email to corporate-support@malwarebytes.org If you are a home use consumer customer please send an email to support@malwarebytes.org We will work with you to determine what you have installed and what licensing you currently have and then our Sales dept can work with you to convert it if need be. Thanks
  14. Hi otherguyx, Not to brush you off, but you might get much better answers for any Comodo questions you have at their own support forums. Though we all use other products as part of a layered security approach, the users over there should be much more knowledgeable about their own program as we are with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware here.
  15. Welcome to Malwarebytes, FrankRamage - Your best bet would be to contact Corporate Sales using the form linked to in the post above. They will be able to advise you on what is best for your situation and can provide a customized quote.
