As a new user, i just recently purchased the software and 20 minutes later i removed from my system. It is too agressive. It started to block a common website megaupload from downloading any files. This needs to change right away. Two new tabs need to be added to the software, the first in dealing with blocked websites with an option to allow or disallow and the second of the ability to be aggressive to an option to be very easy going. I will wait a couple of days for a reply. If this cant be implemented right away then i will want a refund, i think this is fair.
Dear, these pop-ups might be from ads on the mega-upload site as well.
I suggest you place a post in the False Positives subforum.

Congratulations !

Hi Blaze -
Ad-Aware got bigger after they added the malware scans - It was not in the older versions - I was surprised at SpyBot , but it only equals Iobit -
We still pass Bit by 5 times the downloads - Pity the poor people when they try to un install - Without the latest tool from Fredvires crew it never actually leaves -
Ad-Aware added malware scans ? Whew, didn't know that, thanks for the update
! Guess I should check that out ...I like Spybot from in the good old days though..
-
I'm also using Defraggler, another one I like is from Auslogics, download can be found here:

Nicely done, Malwarebytes.
Noknojon, I doubt that most people know what happened with IObit, so they just keep downloading it.
Besides, this only displays the downloading, not removing the program, which eventually might happen with IObit's security 360
.I didn't expect to be Ad-Aware #2 to be honest ...

I noticed as well, so I sent a quick PM
.I was a bit faster then you I guess, haha .

Thanks liljj2010
!I agree with you Amethyst, but I suppose they will support it sooner or later.

Congratulations !

I have read on the WOT website that it is also available for Google Chrome.
However, I am not able to find the setup for it, only for IE or FF .
Does anyone have more news about this or can provide me with the download link ?
Thanks

I think I might have, as I was getting lots of fake virus detector pop-ups until recently.
Is this on your own computer or on others like your friends, family etc ?
Just always be sure to have strong protection on your computer installed.
Botnets as well as others are still lurking out there, so these attacks might be related to a Conficker or Zeus botnet.
I'm wondering how this will evolve, thanks for posting !

Hi, I wouldn't advise you to use registry cleaners, also programs which you probably use to download - like Limewire, are not advisable.
I'm also going with noknojon's thought, contact your ISP and they'll be able to help you out.
hope this helps

Hi -
Looks like an animation or "stylist" type site - Seems "genuine" enough -
Indeed, I checked with WOT as well and all seems OK.

Realtime means it blocks the infections before they reach your computer. Example: Malwarebytes IP protection module.
This also goes for Panda Cloud, for example, or Avira.
The free version of MBAM or SAS do not protect you realtime, but should you've been infected, they can clean it afterwards.
Winpatrol:
WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge.For example, if malware adds a startup entry, Winpatrol will notify you about this event.
My (personal) suggestion is you use (free) Avira or Panda Cloud, then buy Malwarebytes full version. This will be a powerful combination
.Hope this was clear enough

Haha, nice post
! -
Hi, the way I see it Adware Spyware etc all falls under the term 'Malware'.
Antiviruses like Avira, Kaspersky, Panda, .... Will also protect you against these threats.
You can try SUPERAntiSpyware or Malwarebytes (free). For an extra layer of protection you can buy either MBAM or SAS . (includes realtime protection)
A neat free program that has more of a 'watchdog' function is WinPatrol: http://www.winpatrol.com/
Hope this helps

Just out of interest, why do you suspect there is a Keylogger on your computer ?
I suggest you follow prairie_dog's advice.
After the infection is cleaned up you might want to consider Keyscrambler: http://www.qfxsoftware.com/index.html
The personal version should be free for use.
Hope this helps

Nice post mountaintree16 !
Personally I do not like MSE very much, but Avira is certainly a good choice for a free antivirus.

Hi, if you think this is a false positive you may post here:

Include the VirusTotal reports. Also the Experts will probably ask for a sample of these files.
Hope this helps

If your looking for a free Antivirus, I'd say you go for Avira or Panda Cloud
Avira: http://free-av.com/en/download/index.html (as lilji2010 stated above)
Panda Cloud: http://www.cloudantivirus.com/en/

Hi there, maybe you can contact http://stopbadware.org
Because malware is at the top of google, it does not necessarily mean that Google has approved this.
The page might have been hacked, or Blackhat SEO was used to push this site at the top of Google's seearch results.
Hope this helps

Happy birthday

What is this program used for (besides blocking USB, I suppose you mean Autorun here) ?
You can try to upload the installer to VirusTotal.
Otherwise I think you will need to upload a sample here for the experts.
Hope this helps

I think more of this as a PUP than as a virus.
I'm not sure about this, but maybe you can use Merijn's CWS:
http://free.antivirus.com/cwshredder/
(as I said, I'm not sure if this will clean MyWebSearch
) -
Hello and welcome

! Guess I should check that out ...

Where does it come from?
in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum

What really can help is using WOT, or using (free) software like Spywareblaster.
This will also help prevent infections. Obviously, Malwarebytes protection module will be a very good help.
You can also use hpHosts file.
Googling anything innocent may always turn out to something unexpectedly, so:
- train the teachers some basics of security (don't click anything that pops up, eg)
- use layered security
- be sure to have the latest updates of both your operating system and antivirus-protection.
Hope this helps a bit
