  1. I would use only one security app on the phone unless they are known to play well together. I have seen people with several anti-malware apps have similar problems to you. I have so far used MB with Bitdefender on Android devices with no problem, but other mixes I have seen over the years caused serious issues with performance. Also please remove on, then scan the phone with it.

    In general I found MB to be very good on Android devices, one person I know had his phone destroyed by malware. Fortunately, MB fixed it. 

    Before deciding which one to keep please look online at some recent reviews.

  2. No problem. I have uninstalled it for now on my Mac, I still have it on other Windows and Android devices. I have a spare Bit Defender licence that I put on to the mac for now. I also noticed that MWB was taking a very long time to scan my Mac. This together made me feel a little insecure about using it as my main line of defence. If it gets fixed I may add it as a secondary product on my Mac.

  3. I recently re-installed Chrome, so that I can have a better Google Apps experience. I had previously deleted it as the Ask Toolbar would not leave. The same problem has emerged again (about  a year later). I have tried various options:

    - Malwarebytes scan, followed by quarantine and deletion

    - Using AdwRemover, nothing comes up when this is run.

    - Resetting chrome, so there are no extensions etc.

    - My main antivirus (Bit defender) finds nothing either, even when run in Rescue mode.

    - deleting then reinstalling chrome.

    It seems to reinstall the minute I start up Chrome again. If anyone has advice, please let me know... It is driving me nuts. While I am happy to use Edge for most things, the experience with Google Docs sucks in it. I have looked online for advice and followed some of them, but so far nothing works.

  4. Hello.

    I use both Windows and Macs on a daily basis, and because of getting a cheap deal back in the early days of Malwarebytes I still have a licence for it. Under Windows, I am running both BD and MB together, with no problem. Indeed, they seem to complement one another.  I would appreciate any views on whether it is a good idea on a Mac, or pointless, also if anyone has already done it. I get the point that one security suit is usually enough. So I would only add it if there performance doesn't collapse and it would improve security.

  5. Hello,

    Like many people, I am now working at home. Therefore, I tried to download Splashtop (which is a remote access system much like Teamviewer). However, when I try to download it (from their site as I have paid for it), I get told that it is an address known for Malware. Please, can someone at Malwarebytes let me know if it really is Malware? I will not use it if that is the case.

    Their website is: https://www.splashtop.com/.  The error only occurs when trying to download the app, and not before.

    Cheers,

    Rod

  6. Hello, I am using Pycharm, however I am  not able to open up cmd.exe inside the Pycharm development environment as it is blocked by MB Ransomware detection. Even if I exclude the Pycharm components in MB the problem persists. In the end I have to turn off Ransomware protection which is not ideal.

    Please can you provide a workaround for this? I would rather not leave such a gaping security hole.

  7. That sounds like a good idea, as many users may fall for such a thing, it is quite easy to do unless you check out the author etc. Having worked in a computer security research centre (although not directly in the field) I am more sensitive to such things but I really wish Google would be more proactive in stopping this stuff in the first place as I am sure many people may have installed the rogue extension.

  8. Hello Malwarebytes,

    I was installing the extension on another Chrome installation today, when I was doing so I noticed there are two extensions available on the store. Including the one below:

    The app is offered by: TuliDescargar.com

     

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/malwarebytes/nnegppnckphibjejnddpkhgohipeojnc

     

     

    Please can you look into this?

     

    Kind regards,

  9. I have to say that in general the Chrome extension has worked pretty well so far. However, I had a false positive today with the Microsoft Onedrive website being the issue. When clicking on a link which is https://1drv.ms (followed by the file URL) this was blocked. I can of course bypass it by continuing but it is a little annoying .
