I love Linux too. But there just aren't enough users to make it profitable. I've been excited that Malware Bytes has Mac & Android platform.

It's just interesting because Malwarebytes already has web protection, but I assume this will help with the pup extensions, adware, & malware extensions that can be out of the scope of most security products. ?

Okay, cool

Okay, I don't use Firefox, but was curious

I saw this. https://www.ghacks.net/2018/01/13 Legitimate?

I believe Malwarebytes has already commented on why they detect it as a PUP. Not sure why we have to beat a dead horse.

Congratulations!!!!

No problem and safe surfing

okay, but unless you have cd emulators there is no need to run defrogger.

I would probably extract the file from another computer and use a linux disc to replace it. Let me know what you want to do.

its not easy and you will need access to another computer. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/42776-extract-files-windows-7-installation-dvd.html

What version of windows are you running? You don't need to run defrogger unless you have cd emulators installed.
