Hmm, that's odd. Sure it's still there, maybe they removed it?

I can white list it without problems, just interesting. Might share this with the site. At least it wasn't a false positive.

Thanks for the info, what happens now? it stays blocked forever?

Here is one example of an album cover that gets blocked when you visit musicbrainz.org, note that the frontpage rotates between newly added covers.

hxxps://ia801509.us.archive.org/29/items/mbid-c7a94cae-f2e7-45cb-a91e-299135f04e70/mbid-c7a94cae-f2e7-45cb-a91e-299135f04e70-18245668240_thumb250.jpg

This has to be a false positive, archive.org hosts lots of album art for that site. Lots of the other images on that site still works, it just seems to be that subdomain.

Here is the log:

[Harmless uninstaller fasely detected as PUP.Optional.WindowService]

To be clear this file is not a plea to remove a PUP, this is a file that's incorrectly detected as some other PUP when it is just a harmless installer for an open source program.

The installer is for tikione-steam-cleaner v3.0.4 which is open source if you want to take a look.

I have attached the file and the log.

[Downsides/Cons to running MBAE?]

Yes it does auto-upgrade silently in the background.

 

You can turn that feature off and then it will simply show a popup telling the user that there is a new version available (OK/Cancel) and if the user chooses OK then it auto-upgrades silently in the background.

Great! Now add that functionality to regular malwarebytes and it will be even better!

Some people just hate doing anything that their PC tells them to do and closes notices to upgrade malwarebytes so they can do whatever they started the PC for. They don't like that it's nagging even though they spend more time getting annoyed by it over and over for weeks then just clicking the few click installing the new version requires.

For people like that a background updater/installer would be damn useful.

[Downsides/Cons to running MBAE?]

Thanks, that sounds great except the update part. I wish it just updated silently in the background.

[Downsides/Cons to running MBAE?]

Is it good to install on friends and families computers who are not savvy computer users, will it confuse them?

 

Does it update itself in a more user friendly way then Malwarebytes? (automatically and behind the scenes?)

 

Is it less necessary if you only use Chrome?
