You are really Smart! My goodness me. Thank you! It's really fascinating how many things you know! You read so much! I am going to read through the article a bit! Here's a virtual coffee from me: ☕

Thanks for all of your suggestions exile360! I tried both of these things. Malwarebytes isn't the issue then huh? I always like you in the forums.. you are really cheering up my last few bad days... Thank you so much!

Okay. I deactivated Malwarebytes, and restarted my computer. I think it's just the latest Windows 10 update. I don't think it's malwarebytes anymore. Sorry about the inconvenience.

The issue still exists with Adobe Creative Cloud Sync. I am curious if the startup of Malwarebytes affects a system process from running at startup.

in files explorer BTW it maybe just my computer... I just posted this just in case for fellow users.... or the latest windows update is funky a bit.

I have the latest build of windows 1809. Running latest Malwarebytes... absolutely check... 3.71... just in case of doubts..../ Gut feeling... either exploit protection... or ransomware module............

Sync icons in windows explorer not showing up. Applications affected Dropbox, Google Drive, and Creative Cloud... The files seem like they aren't syncing at all! I think Malwarebytes may be the issue here! ---------------- I am just going to be honest. I am way too lazy to solve this. Just check it on your computers, and your coworkers who has Windows 10... latest build. Ask them if their sync icons show up... simple as that. And if their files are syncing properly. I only have sooo much time in a day... and I am behind in my studies. So it's up to you.

Sorry for the late response! I really appreciate your help fr33tux! Have a Stellar Day!

I don't know what to do with the first detection. It's in my registry and I don't know what it is. Should I remove it? PUP.Adware.Heuristic HKLM\SOFTWARE\c62032b2-0bca-5abc-b458-fd67cfc9e49b Thanks much! （｡>‿‿<｡ ）

Thanks for resolving this problem. I was really confused...

I am trying to put my input in on why all ICOs shouldn't be blocked. And why we should give some ICOs a chance, and block the ones with a bad track record. You can create a ICO Discussion group, and discuss which ones are a scam or not, and not just block all of them! That's just lazy, and unethical. My comments shouldn't be not-approved on Malwarebytes blog. You guys were asking for input from the 'community' when you don' t really want input, but you just want to say that you wanted it for community relations. You shouldn't lie Malwarebytes. For real! Let my comments be on the Malwarebytes blog, because I wanted to comment on the issue whether all ICOs should be banned or not. I take this issue very sensitively because I am experienced with this. Please respond.

Update! When I am backing up my computer with Windows Backup, It is using 15% cpu usage! Off Malwarebytes process not the (Service Host: File History Service)!... Try it out yourselves. I turned off ransomware shield, and now Malwarebytes is back to 0.1% CPU usage.

I think the jump in CPU usage was from the File History service... I am using backups with Windows Backup service... and I seen a spike from this.

Malwarebytes is using 14% of my i7 7700k cpu, and it's all because of the ransomware shield. I turned it off in the settings, and it instantly went to almost 0.1% CPU usage. I never seen this from Malwarebytes before, and I hope to see this issue resolved. I think there is something wrong here. I have to repeat... it is 14% cpu usage without doing any scan, and when I disable the Ransomware shield in the settings, it instantly goes down to 0% --> 0.1% CPU usage.

I agree Exile360 Why do we underestimate Keyloggers in general? No one really talks about them anymore, and everyone just talks about Ransomware, and other Malicious Browser Extensions. Keyloggers can literally hurt someone, very very badly. If someone implanted, or someone didn't know about a 'legitmate' keylogger, that is on their device, they could get blackmailed / can break anonymity in general if the common man is yearning for it. Even though people should never never use Windows 10 as a OS for anonymity, people do it anyway and we still make Privacy apps for it. Qubes OS has it's own virtual machine for its keyboard. At least that is what I heard from a Cyber Security course. I really like this concept because it isolates it from the rest of the system processes.

Thank you fr33tux! I really appreciate your effort. Hitman pro detected nothing, so maybe is it not totally bad, so I will hope for the best that it is removed with the Adwcleaner.

Thank you. Can't you just check the program files though manually, to see if anything is suspicious in there?

I have Malwarebytes premium, and I did run a scan with the latest Adwcleaner already. Thanks for the advice. I uploaded the track.ini files on virustotal, and all of the competitors think that this file is okay. I just changed the analytics from true to false, in the ini file. I hope that helps me Lols.

I don't know where it's from. I deleted it on both of my computers, so I hope it doesn't reappear again, and I just have to hope for the best. Can you recommend any other 2nd opinion scanners? I am using just Malwarebytes and Hitman Pro for scanning, and it didn't detect it like Adwcleaner did. Can you list some other tools for me that I can use? Thanks Aura.

It is in a folder called Advinstanalytics. It is in the local folder right after a scan with it. It keeps reappearing if I run the program again, and it doesn't reappar when I don't run the scan again. It is in it's own folder in in the local folder. Can you check your local folder again? I am confused on why this is happening.

I am never using this stupid program again.

Every time I keep running the new Adwcleaner, it keeps installing this advinstanalytics.ini file. Are you sure that you checked the signature of the adwcleaner program? Test it out. Download it from the official adwcleaner page, and run it. It will keep reappearing, I swear.

Thank you dcollins. That is a good point that you can't and shouldn't remove the keyboard driver, but maybe Malwarebytes can point out that driver has a vulnerability and tell you the directions of how to fix it... hmm. Thanks for clarifying that you still want to detect the dropped keyloggers, and Malwarebytes really cares about those. It is nice that the Malwarebytes team is now following up on that specific issue. Thanks for listening to us

It maybe Greyware but if you think about it, it is an unnecessary possible, 'trojan horse.' Why would the average home user want a possible trojan horse on their computer when they don't need it? If businesses are using this, what's the point of Malwarebytes business suite of products. I guess that Malwarebytes endpoint protection is not as good as the home edition? Why do we want a possible trojan horse. This is such a big vulnerability to exploit. Did you hear about HP laptops that have hidden keyloggers. Does Malwarebytes report this as safe, or is it just a successful trojan horse that HP is only patching and no one else is?
