Thank you for the update and fix.

Again today. MalwareBytes is detecting ContaCam as follows: Malwarebytes www.malwarebytes.com -Log Details- Scan Date: 8/2/20 Scan Time: 5:19 PM Log File: 41166d70-d50e-11ea-bb89-74d02b2bcdc9.json -Software Information- Version: 4.1.2.73 Components Version: 1.0.972 Update Package Version: 1.0.27835 License: Premium -System Information- OS: Windows 10 (Build 19041.423) CPU: x64 File System: NTFS User: ACCESSDENIED\Access -Scan Summary- Scan Type: Threat Scan Scan Initiated By: Manual Result: Completed Objects Scanned: 318620 Threats Detected: 5 Threats Quarantined: 0 Time Elapsed: 1 min, 28 sec -Scan Options- Memory: Enabled Startup: Enabled Filesystem: Enabled Archives: Enabled Rootkits: Disabled Heuristics: Enabled PUP: Detect PUM: Detect -Scan Details- Process: 1 Adware.DownloadAssistant, C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\CONTACAM\CONTACAM.EXE, No Action By User, 1190, 845643, , , , Module: 1 Adware.DownloadAssistant, C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\CONTACAM\CONTACAM.EXE, No Action By User, 1190, 845643, , , , Registry Key: 0 (No malicious items detected) Registry Value: 1 Adware.DownloadAssistant, HKU\S-1-5-21-3884650398-1447692485-102660901-1001\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUN|ContaCam, No Action By User, 1190, 845643, , , , Registry Data: 0 (No malicious items detected) Data Stream: 0 (No malicious items detected)

Fixed here in the most current Malwarebytes version with most recent component update on Windows 10 version 1909. After reboot, MB registers in the WSC as it should and Windows Defender is disabled.

Can mark as solved. I have rebooted since the component update and Malwarebytes now registers without any intervention of mine. Thanks for fixing this.

Thank you for the information and support. Have a great day/night 🙂

Thank you. I can also report that when you refresh a page, such as this one. It keeps the counter from before and adds it again to make it 2. If I keep refreshing the page, it goes up by the number originally blocked on the page. Say if you load a page that has 3 on it. A refresh will show 6 then 9 and so on, with each refresh.

Can you please add an option to disable the number of things blocked on the extension icon in Firefox? There is a site I visit that gets two blocks when I load it, and every page I visit there, it goes up by two more. After browsing a while, the number can be like 30-40 and it is a bit annoying.

Will do! I am turning on Beta updates in Malwarebytes so I will get the fix faster. Like you said, I am protected and no worries here.

You are welcome. Here is another picture of what I see for providers in the Security Center.

I had kind of guessed the issue was what LiquidTension posted. Sunday morning I did a repair install and the issue remained. I look forward to the update which fixes this. Here is the status file you requested. status.txt

Malwarebytes will still not register itself in the Security Center, even if I wait 10 minutes after a reboot. I am going to just live with it until I do a clean install. If it does it on a clean install, I will just reload my backup image that I take before the install and post back with results. Will not be doing the clean install until Monday at the earliest.

I am done tinkering/working on it for the night. Will check back in the morning. Thanks for all your help Maurice.

I can however toggle the setting in MB to off/on for registering and it turns WD off and everything is the way I like it.

Update, WD says it is active and no Security Center alerts. However MB is installed, active and set to register in the Security Center, but is not doing so. I have rebooted a couple times, as well as removed MB and reinstalled. Currently at this state, with MB on and should be registered in there, WD should be off because of that, but MB is not registering.

I rebuilt the WMI repository earlier. Now ESET is gone from there, but Windows is reporting both WD and MB are off when they are actually both on. Here is the zip. mbst-grab-results.zip

Also, this is after using Revo Uninstaller Pro to trace the ESET install and removal. I then had it do an advanced search for all things related and removed them. Rebooted and ran the support tool. This is still in the logs.

I uninstalled ESET a while back. Apparently the uninstaller the app uses, left some data behind. I used the ESET Uinstaller tool from safe mode, but the Malwarebytes Support Tool still shows ESET registered in the Security Center. The ESET log from the uninstaller shows it was removed from the Security Center. I am not sure how to remove it manually. Kind of frustrating.

I am seeing the same thing after a reboot. I posted in the beta section by not paying attention that the BETA was removed from my version when the final 4 was installed.

I had restored it from quarantine yesterday morning, then exited MalwareBytes. I just ran a full scan with ContaCam currently running (beta10) and no detection. Glad I can leave Malwarebytes Premium running again. I didn't want to start Malwarebytes back up until I was able to post about this. Thanks for your time in this matter. 😊

Actually running beta10. The beta12 was released today but had some issues, so i went back to beta10.
