Yes. I was awaiting some sort of result from the zip file I uploaded. Cheemag

I've downloaded the Virus Total thing and will try it later. The registry hack was applied without problems, but made no difference even after a reboot.. I'm about to give up on this - it's more bother than it's worth. Regards Cheemag

I've done this time and time again. It doesn't work. Has nothing been discovered in the .zip file I uploaded a few days ago ? -- Cheemag

Me too. I've more or less given up on MWB and simply rely on Kaspersky now. Regards Cheemag

So it's an external application. Attached. Hope this helps. --- Cheemag mbst-grab-results.zip

I would, if I could find the function. There's nothing about MBST in the MWB interface programme. The principal reason I use MWB is to scan FILES for malware. For everything else I have Kaspersky IS 2019. I can see no other way of scanning a file other than via the context menu. Regards Cheemag

"Scan with Malwarebytes" context menu item missing in 3.7.1 despite being activated in settings.

Thanks and sorry for the delay. I came to the conclusion that it was probably due to an extension. I disabled them all and restarted. No block. Enabled AdBlock Pro and got the hanstrackr block. So it's due to AdBlock Pro. I gathered from search that 'hanstracker'/'hanstrackr' was adware ! I'd also imagined AdBlock Pro to be a legitimate extension. I'll look for another ad-blocker. Thanks to all who responded. Regards Cheemag

Every time I launch the Vivaldi browser MWB blocks Vivaldi from accessing "www.hanstrackr.com" (which is a malware site). Below that it gives the IP 52.213.148.60, which is something entirely different. According to ADW Cleaner the machine is clean and there are no obvious signs of hanstracker. It would seem rather unlikely that Vivaldi is deliberately trying to access a malware site. What is going on here? Regards Cheemag PS This MWB forum site appears to be attempting canvas tracking according to my anti-trackers ....

Good Morning, I have two confusing instructions here. The NordVPN application did not trigger any warnings this morning so perhaps the exclusion of the executable has finally worked. It's nothing to do with the scan, which comes up clean. The VPN executable needs to send data to Cloudfare which was seen as malicious - I don't know why. It's not, although the action could be interpreted as malicious. However it doesn't bother my security application, Kaspersky 2019 ! Regards Cheemag

MWB exclusions wizard stops responding when I attempt to exclude a folder. c:\Programme Files (x86)/NordVPN/ c:\Programme Files (x86)/NordVPN/NordPVN.exe is already excluded to prevent MWB flagging perfectly legal outgoing operations initiated by this executable. (Windows 7 Pro MWB Premium v??? - up-to-date) Regards Cheemag

I see. Thank you. I can delete it ... Regards

Good Afternoon, What is FRSTEnglish.exe in my downloads directory. Is it malware ? Web search is inconclusive. (Windows 7, MWB Premium latest) Cheemag
