Thanks for all your help!

Might as well ask, what if the computer isn't being used like right now but it's on, in the sense that it's in sleep mode? Does that count or will it not auto register until I move the mouse or whatever and pull it out of sleep mode?

Ah okay I get it now. Thanks.

Alright, thanks. Also, when I have that option to "deactivate all" on my subscriptions account section, what does that do? Like, I know it will deactivate all premium versions back to the Free version, right? Also, when it says "once devices are turned back on it will reactivate" what does it mean by that? Does that mean starting up the computer or logging into the user account on the computer?

So, I already use malwarebytes premium on my desktop (which I always use) and my laptop (which I use for stuff when away from home like college). If I wanted to updated my OS at home from 7 to 10, do I need to deactivate the license on that computer before making the upgrade or no? Thanks.

Oh, sorry about that. But I'm not sure if it's a false positive or not. All I know is that it tagged it as Ransomware.

So, I've never had Malewarebytes detect this program as a randsomware until yesterday last night but it did. The file in question is a launcher on GitHub called Cataclysm_Launcher.exe. It's basically a launcher you download to get updates on the experimental build of a game called Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. Anyways, downloaded it after having a problem with the launcher and bam. It immediately was flagged by Malwarebytes as ransomeware and quarantined. Did the reboot it asked and then deleted the file, because I wasn't taking any chances. Did two scans before I went to bed, and one this morning before I went to college classes. Nothing has shown up as malicious in either of these scans. My computer also seems to be fine and not locking up or being "held ransom" by anything. Does this mean it was a false positive or that everything is fine and I shouldn't worry about it? Or should I just hurry and make backups before the crap storm starts from a hidden ransomware when I get home? Thanks.
