Throw up as many warnings as you like asking for a restart, but under no circumstances should any program force a restart.

If Microsoft does not want people using system restore then they just need to get rid of it, what's the point of offering it and then saying no,no, don't use it kiddies. Its saved me numerous times, such as..... a bsod.... from a botched Windows update!! I also use Aeomi but only use it when system restore doesn't work. Trying Rollback RX now, quite nice, a reboot and you can roll back to a previous image, very simple and very quick.

Just check your System Restore, this update turned off my system protection ( not the first time).

Yup, when the marketing department takes over your in trouble, see Avast. 😉

I concur, you really don't need Malwarebytes and Hitman Pro Alert ( if that is what your referring to.) Malwarebytes is less buggy than HMP in my experience as well.

I would be hesitant to delete it especially since you have no idea what its for. Its probably doing no harm and deleting it could cause issues. Maybe someone else will here will know what its for.

From the developer:
The SbieDrv.sys driver must be signed, and since the appropriate certificates are prohibitively expensive, I head to use a leaked code signing certificate I found laying around the Internets. This means some anti malware applications wrongfully flag it as potentially dangerous or a virus.

I would also mention that once true Artificial Intelligence becomes a reality (and even with the existing, unthinking so-called AI based on Machine Learning and complex algorithms that can see patterns in human behavior that humans cannot), all of this collected data, regardless of how 'benign' it might appear, could potentially be used to subvert the will of free markets and otherwise free peoples. It's startling what a modern AI can learn and report about an individual based on seemingly random and unrelated data collected through the web and other sources and just how powerful that data can be to manipulate everything from individual purchasing decisions to what we believe and possibly even how we vote. If you do not believe that any government, corporation, political candidate or criminal would jump at the opportunity to leverage such power, then your faith in humanity is much greater than mine. I am certain that at least some in a position of access and influence will attempt to use our data against us in this way, and in fact we have already seen countless instances of some doing just that as indicated in some of the links and videos posted by AdvancedSetup above.
This, and worse, is going to happen, just a matter of time and there will be no way to stop it. My dim view of things.

But why worry about Cortana, either live with it or use an outdated OS or use Linux. I turn off what I can for Cortana, Cortana is the least of my worries. As I said previously if I was worried about Google or Microsoft spying on me then I would just stay off the internet.

What about your keystrokes?
Nah, a good security solution combined with safe practices should mitigate the chances of a keylogger being installed on your system.

Yah, I use a PO box and refuse to give out my phone number as well. I am more concerned about identity theft than Google or Microsoft seeing what sites I visit.

Oh I care, just not enough to worry about it, life is too short as they say.

One of these days I'm going to try your SRWare browser.

When does trying to be private become more of a pain then just just being on the internet? I don't do social media, buy little online so they don't get my cc number, use fake names on forums, some other stuff. But when is it too much, I use Chrome, because it works the best for me. Basically my opinion is if you want privacy then stay off the internet. Like that is going to happen.😀

I use both, I just run off the Ads/Trackers protection in MBG as I see no use in having 2 extensions fighting to do the same job, others would not turn this off and have no issues at all. Your choice.

Loved that movie as well, think it would have made a great series, unfortunately I don't watch any animated shows unless its cartoons from the 30's to 50's.

The " cloud " is a marketing tool, the cloud is the internet.

Thank you sir, had a feeling it may be hardware related.

Hi guys, just a quick question I may know the answer to but want to ask anyways. I uninstalled MB a couple weeks ago, deleted all folders and cleaned out the registry of any Malwarebytes entries I could find using a couple of tools that work well in doing such. Installed again today, and when I opened MB it was already registered with my lifetime MB license. So kicker is that after I installed I then rolled back using Rollback RX, installed again and had to register license, not registered to my license like earlier install. So question is, why do 2 different installs within 1 hour of each other have such different results? And why would MB remember my registration after I obliterated everything I could find connected to Malwarebytes? And believe me I nuked everything.Thanks.

Hehe, yes I know you "armour up" your browser.

Malwarebytes has restarted to its original state out of nowhere
