  1. It was to lock the thread or something, to make you know sure it's been resolved. Just saying, yeah, the PC is fine right now.
  2. Are we sure this is necessary? I know the driver updater of AVG leads to some crap stuff like breaking the PC, but Tune Up has been working decently for cleaning up the Windows dump files after updates. I buy / sub to it always to keep my SSD clean because I'm living with a very fast but limited storage primary drive (900P 280 PCI-E stick), and it's being beneficial. Would require further confirmation before I go about doing all those steps because the PC seems to be working perfectly right now.
  3. As I've been researching high dwm usage, one Reddit post said that it could be because of too new of a display driver compared to the one Microsoft signs on their updated Windows versions. Rolled it back and dwm.exe went back to %0-3. All good, I don't think I might have even been infected in the first place as both Nod32 and MB found nothing, and the wrapper could simply have been for the data recovery software. You can close the thread, thanks for the help.
  4. FYI, I uninstalled couple data recovery programs off my PC yesterday, I think the wrapper came with one of them - EaseUS Data Recovery somehow. I removed everything related to those, here is what I got right now... both the Farbar text log files. Addition_13-10-2022 21.54.03.txt FRST_13-10-2022 21.54.03.txt
  5. When I read that MB does not find this particular mining virus on Virustotal, as I mentioned before I went ahead and installed Nod32 trial. As was expected, it told me to uninstall MB to not have multiple AVs working concurrently. However, my experience with Nod32 was less than good. It didn't do anything up until online activation (there's no offline route) and the scan couldn't access a little over 100 files. I don't know if this is to be concerned or not, or whether you would know something about it (there are posts on their forum saying it's normal). It also doesn't seem to install down safe mode due to this activation thing. I just re-installed MB offline trial, and I noticed the issue has gotten more severe. I can't connect to the Internet at all. Plugging in my ethernet cable doesn't seem to connect me, and I'm typing this from another PC connected to the same network. Malwarebytes doesn't find anything btw, I checked finding rootkits, etc, though still no avail. The file of log txt included as attachment. Thanks for the help. MBAV log.txt
  6. Hello, during the last couple days, I've either gotten some spam mails I opened trusting MBAV (yeah I know) - or had some weird stuff such as a Localhost: 9000 page open while viewing uh, the kind of material I'd be ashamed to speak about in here. Double time's charm indeed. Anyway, after these have happened; During night time, today I noticed my MB wasn't working at all. The whole day, no service, no nothing. It closed itself, and when I tried to re-open, I couldn't get the icon in the right bottom bar and some other stuff at first. Even when I re-tried. In the meanwhile, I've also had seen several fishy sounding apps down task manager. One of them was called "Aliyunwrap.exe", the other was processprotect and one or two others... I Googled the former, and it came up with results about wrap.exe / a wrapper which seems to run miners on PCs. While I was doing these, I further noticed my dwm.exe was going from %30 to %70 and to all the way up to %100 on GPU usage. Consistently, as if it's never going to stop fluctuating. It still does this regardless of whether my ethernet cable is plugged in or not. Ultimately I came to the conclusion that I've been infected with a miner, if not several more stuff. Another Google search told me that MB can't find an infection in this wrap.exe or some other thing. I checked this file's virustotal result, which showed that Nod32 finds the virus that is it. Later, I downloaded Nod32 but that didn't find anything either. What gives? Should I boot to safe mode with Adw or something and do a scan, post the logs here? That method, can somebody walk me through it?
  7. No worries, it no longer pops out. I think it might have just been related to registering to the Insider Previews, and I don't have any symptoms of a malware on my machine. Are there any known cases of this being malware / should I do the aforementioned steps, or just move on?
  8. Hello, recently I've started seeing this on and off at times in task manager. Now I know it's officially a Microsoft file, however some web searching leads that it is used for virtual machine deliveries, and I have VMs disabled on my BIOS CPU section. Could this be a data exchange file that works in conjunction with Microsoft, which might have recently started popping out because I signed up for Windows Insider Previews, or should I be worried that it is a trojan or something as couple websites suggest. I'm asking this because I recently disabled Ransomware Protection section of Malwarebytes due to it hampering my SSD's 4k write performance. I enabled it back and did a search, nothing found.
  9. Did it with Ransomware Protection turned on. mbst-grab-results.zip
  10. Alright, thanks for the backing up. Seems like I'm good to go for my second year of MB purchase next month.
  11. Worked, but how safe am I while this is disabled? I think I recall some stuff being detected over this in past.
  12. Hello. Some time ago, I opened a thread about Malwarebytes interface being laggy, which I today fixed by disabling hardware acceleration. However, I seem to have a bigger issue with the software this time around. My system is clean of malware - couple weeks back, I did an AS SSD benchmark and saw my 4k write speeds around 100 MB/s. I normally get 200 and above (I own an Optane 280gb PCI-E stick). So I thought this might be because of the drive being filled with files and whatnot over the time, and went on to re-install Windows today. First thing I did was to install AS SSD and do the benches - without MBAV installed, I got normal results with 4k around 200 MB/s and random writes high as well. Afterwards, I went on to install MB, to see my write speeds being all over the place again. I'd really like to get my write speeds back up, as I paid quite a bit for this drive back in the day, and am not willing to buy an alternative such as a Samsung Z-Nand drive for a grand. If this is what it is from now on, I might sadly have to part ways with MB and move on to another AV software such as Bitdefender, which I don't want to do. Help would be appreciated, thanks.
  13. The interface lags on every page, the install went laggy as well as using the UI itself and probably still is. The old interface (3.0) did not do this.
  14. I did it, however because my X550 ethernet card takes a while to connect to Internet, the re-install couldn't catch up and failed. I then went on and installed MB manually. The advanced settings that I'm told not to touch are all back to normal, though the interface is still laggy.
  15. I've taken logs, have seen people post it to the forum but I'm sure I could carry them to the support as a ticket?
  16. Turns out I do seem to have the release version as I remember it updating some time ago, but the interface on a lot of pages is still lagging. The software looks to work properly however, since it does block malware sites such as a real estate site I've tried to recently visit.
  17. Hello, just joined to say some things. I know this is probably mentioned before, but the beta interface functions too slowly, and as other people have mentioned in the beta thread, the IU is also ugly IMHO. I don't want to revert back to release version, and have been waiting for quite some time for the interface to speed up. So I'd love to hear some feedback on as to whether it's slow because of the beta build, or something else. I have a pretty strong machine with a 7900X CPU, whatnot, so I don't think my PC is the reason although I have toyed with the advanced security settings... thanks.
