I have an icon on my Firefox bookmarks bar and when I click on it mbam.exe which is: Binary File ... opens and my options are to Save File or Cancel. I wonder how did an exe file get on my bookmarks bar and is it safe to delete. Screenshots attached. Windows 10 Malwarebytes | Premium version: 3.0.6.1469

Thanks so much! That was way-quick (instant) ... no "scan" involved.

Malwarebytes Pro is up-to-date and I recently scanned thoroughly ... I also scanned with Eset NOD32 v.4 Is this (below) necessary with my Malwarebytes and Eset NOD32 protection?

I understand the update server was down. All is working now!

An error has occured. Please report this error code to our support team. PROGRAM_ERROR_UPDATING (504,0,HTTPStatusCode) Your help will be appreciated

Thanks, that's what I thought ... they make it too easy to make a mistake. Thanks for your help.

I recommended Malwarebytes to a friend who is having major problems ... I suggested she try the free version first. When she clicked on (malwarebytes.org) 'Download free version' she went to snet Download.com http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?part=dl-10804572&subj=dl&tag=button ... it appears you will be downloading Malwarebytes version 1.50.1 and somehow she ended up with ARO 211 ... that's not Malwarebytes is it?

I posted more below (my reply from esetNOD32) indicating that it's not a good idea to run them together. I'm going to try running them together based on the information you provided. What might I expect if I run into trouble?

I'm going to take your advise and run esetNOD32 along with Malwarebytes ... what would I expect if I'm having a conflict? I would appreciate your advise on eset's comments: An ESET Customer Care Representative has updated this case with the following information: Hi there, to use a "Layered Defence" is a very good idea. However using realtime scanning of more than one product may cause issues. I personally use the following as a backup to my ESET Software: Please be aware that these programs also detect harmless

Thank you!!!!

Just made the purchase. Do I need to uninstall the free version before I install the paid version?

So nice. Thanks so much. I'm excited about additional security.

Yes, thanks. Wondering though if I could purchase 3 licenses and use two within my home, and another elsewhere?

Wondering if when obtaining licenses if I can buy one for my son's pc ... doesn't live at home (college) - would that be pushing the discount offer?

Thanks so much for answering my question. Thanks too for your footer info! I didn't know the price was a one time purchase! That's a deal maker ... I'll buy two licenses!

I understand that esetNOD32 is an antivirus and Malwarebytes is malware, adware, spyware related. I occassional run the free version of Malwarebytes and it picks up things esetNOD32 doesn't catch. Trouble is, Malwarebytes is finding after they installed. I want to purchase Malwarebytes so it runs and stops intrusions ... my question is ... are the two compatible? Thanks

I can hardly believe how GREAT everyone is! THANKS ever so much. I'm back on track thanks to you!

Something attacked my computer ... Malwarebytes found one and esetNOD32 found a 'threat' ... both have been removed. Things seem to be okay but I can't update Malwarebytes ... I get the following: An error occurred. Please report the following error code to the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware support team. Error code: 732 (12029, 0) Is this the correct place to report this? Can you help? Also, Internet Explorer can't display the page! Says something about my connection ... however, I can connect using Firefox! Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Arthur.

Oh-oh. I have ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 and don't know how to edit their software ... You said I "may have to" ... do I? Can you help me?

Thanks so much! Then the software will actively scan and stop any malware?

I have the free version and would like to purchase Malwarebytes. Do I need to uninstall the free version? After I downloaded there was an offer to purchase with a discount. I rebooted after Malwarebytes removed an problem and lost the page. Is there a code? Thanks!

Thanks so much! L

Is malware the same as antivirus. I have ESET NOD32 for Antivirus but it's not stopping what Malwarebytes uncovered today (thanks to Dell)! If Malware is different than Antivirus ... do they run well together? Thanks
