McShield is a tool designed to prevent malware that transmit via removable drives, somewhat like Panda USB Vaccine. It is probably fine to use with other security software.

Removing malware is a lot more complicated than just go in and delete a few files. Feel free to take a look at the Malware Removal Logs section here in Malwarebytes forum and see how the real experts work. Anyone can do that, but nobody else does that. Because they do care about people having malware-free machines and not only money like Enigma Software, perhaps? Crypto ransomware do not need to mess with the boot loader to take your data hostage, and PUPs do not need the boot loader to make people go crazy - and those two are some of the most popular threats right now. SpyHunter's boot loader modification does nothing but creates problems, since it can mess up the booting process - especially on systems with more than one OS installation. My opinion about SpyHunter being a rogue application still stands. Poor performance (from Aura's post above), unorthodox protection methods that do not increase protection but create problems, billing issues reported by users, etc. Do those make SpyHunter good or bad? I think you can see it for yourself.

Then good sir, please give me the name of one legit security company that requires people to pay for removing malware (no fully functional trial and no free removal tool). Right now I can only think of Enigma Software that does it - other AV and AM vendors I can think of all have functional trials, free versions, free removal tools, or a combination of each. (Malwarebytes, Emsisoft and Avast even offer free manual malware removal services for everyone.) May I ask how would modifying the boot loader protects SpyHunter from malware?

quietman7 did not call SpyHunter a rogue application. I will quote the relevant part for you since you clearly did not read the post. Emphasis mine. Although in my opinion SpyHunter certainly looks like a rogue application - no option to remove malware without buying, modifications of boot loader etc. I have a very rudimentary knowledge of how AV & AM software works, but alll legit AV & AM software on the market do not do what SpyHunter does. That makes SH the outlier from the trend.

Except that nobody belonging to the BC staff called SpyHunter crapware - and all claims have appropriate sources linked to them in the original article that Enigma Software is suing BC about. I suggest that you actually read quietman7's post and take some time to think on who is in the right here.

This comes up when I used Process Explorer (with VirusTotal option enabled) to view my process list. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/a746270129ea073c0e3d801334f10e14f19a06c5c7f891294692b18120d3ca33/analysis/ Maybe someone wants to forward it to Tencent to fix it, because it looks weird

No, my friend. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is meant to be a supplementing program for your AV - not replacing it entirely. So you will still need to run an AV alongside MBAM.

Oh, and sometimes it would slow down for a moment (even Not Responding) before returning to its normal speed.

Greeting Malwarebytes folks, I just installed Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium about a little more than a week ago, and sometimes a pop up would appear saying that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware had blocked outbound traffic to IP address 82.208.40.62 or 89.248.169.34 from port 16881. The source was my FlashGet 3.7. I was wondering if there is anything wrong with that. Thank you.
