Transitioning from MBAM Premium to Free
Ike replied to Ike's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
I bought the boxed version from a brick-and-mortar store. There was no online transaction. I'm going to be using BitDefender Antivirus Plus 2020 as my new active protection solution. They have told me their solution is incompatible with MBAM, insofar as active protection modules go. Is this not true? -
Transitioning from MBAM Premium to Free
Ike replied to Ike's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
Thank you very much for your reply, Firefox. For whatever reason, when I try to log into the My Account portal, it is not recognizing my email address. That, however, should not matter, as I never authorized any auto-renewal for my subscription, and any attempt by Malwarebytes to auto-renew will be considered fraudulent by me. I do have another question, though, please: I will be installing my new security solution before my MBAM Premium account expires. If I click the "Deactivate" link in MBAM, that will *also* turn MBAM into the Free version, correct? I'd like to make this transition as seamless and pain-free as possible, and am not ruling out the possibility of future MBAM Premium use, if and when MBAM decides to get its act together and play well with AV providers. Again, thank you very much for advice in this matter. -

My MBAM Premium subscription expires in a few weeks. I would like to transition away from Premium to the Free version, with on-demand scanning only. Will this happen automatically with my license expiration or are there any additional steps I need to take to make this happen? Thank you for any advice. -
I believe I'm almost certainly infected...

Thanks for your help, @LDTate ! 😁 The tool ran, and required a reboot. Everything seems A-OK at the moment. Fixlog.txt is attached. I am usually a pretty prudent surfer; I believe this may have been a targeted attack against me from an "MVP" of a very well-respected Windows blog as revenge for me calling out for very un-MVPlike behavior. Is it possible for you to let me know what was found/removed and what the vector might have been and when? I suspect it was between Sunday 11/25 and Monday 11/26. If you need to PM me the info I understand and I might prefer it that way. 😊 Again, thanks so much, -Ike Fixlog.txt -
One more layer of security (Suggestion: Privacy)
Ike replied to Nazareno's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows
My AV solution (Kaspersky Total Security) has Webcam Protection. Don't have/want/need a cam at this point anyway. Couldn't find anything about microphones (which I do use all the time), but Kaspersky does note when an app is allowed to access audio stream. Maybe only plug in your devices when in use, or has been suggested, disable in device manager. HTH, -Ike -

If you have a Premium subscription, they ship you a roll of duct tape? -

...with either malware, a coin miner/jacker, or a virus. I have MBAM Premium 3.6.1 and I run an auto scan (including rootkit) every night and I've run multiple scans on different areas (Full scans, C:/Windows/System32, the USERS folders, etc) and I can't find the nasty little critters! 😒 I also have Kaspersky Total Protection 2019. I've got the MBAM exclusions set up in KTS so as to avoid conflicts. Run regular scans with KTS as well. Next stop if y'all don't find it is the Kaspersky forum. FRST and Threat Scan logs are attached. Please help if you can and thanks so much! 😊 I don't see a "Follow" button but I do have "Notify me of replies" checked. -Ike FRST.txt Addition.txt Threat Scan 2018.12.01.txt

@dcollins Okay, I applied your workaround. Please tell me how I'll be able to be protected from rootkits now since MBAM's daily scheduled scan *does not include* a rootkit scan?

This has been happening every week or so for about two months. MBAM v 3.5.1.2522 Component Package v 1.0.391 Update Package v 1.0.5897 mbst-grab-results.zip
