Hi MSERT found this: VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore threat description - Microsoft Security Intelligence (This detection is for suboptimal configurations that may prevent Microsoft Defender Antivirus from functioning properly. If you see this detection, a suboptimal configuration was detected, and Microsoft Defender Antivirus will auto-heal by automatically resetting to more secure configurations.)

Hi Thanks. I ran the three scans. The files are attached. (Turned off internet, closed browsers and all other applications after downloading) AdwCleaner found and quarantined items. FRST said 'nothing to fix' The MalwareBytes scan options did not include a "threat scan". I ran a 'custom scan' and checked all the scan options (image attached) This is the first time running FRST. Ran HitManPro (free) scan. clean (regularly cleans out trackers etc from browers) Ran a full Windows defender scan: clean (note: it found this last scan: Backdoor:Win32/Bladabindi!rfn) Downloaded and ran Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool again. clean (Running it again right now) Downloaded and ran Microsoft Safety Scanner (MSERT): yesterday, it showed "8 infected items" during search but nothing at the end (quarantined by AdwCleaner perhaps). (Running it again right now) Laptop bought a year ago brand new, regularly updated, with paid antivirus subscriptions and no dodgy sites / apps (as far as I know) Appreciate help

Hello I have Malwarebytes, scan regularly on startup. Update Windows regularly, careful about links, etc. Almost never got an alert (except when I installed Tor browser once, then removed it). I don't visit dodgy websites. Source of infection Two days ago I was looking for an old audiobook and a friend tried to 'help' me while I ran an errand: apparently it could only be found as a torrent. QTorrent was installed, downloadeding the audiobook by the time I was at the computer Malwarebytes was poping up warning messages I stopped the download and uninstalled Qtorrent. (I know, I shouldn't have let it happen, ignorance is no excuse.) Scanned downloaded files with Malwarebytes. Clean. PC seemed hot. PC seemed slow. Since then, steps taken: Ran Malwarebytes scan. Clean I downloaded and ran Microsoft Malicious Software Removal tool (clean). Ran a Windows Defender full scan. It stalled, but it showed a 'Severe threat' when I went to scan history (log below) offline scan (enabled it temporarily in settings). Clean Deleted all downloaded files Checked settings in MalwareBytes. (prevent tampering was disabled, enabled that) Blocked the IP address 87.248.119.251 in my browsers. PC not hot, not slow. Thanks for help.

Hello! I recently saw a popup on Edge to install the Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension (screenshot). I installed it but had a funny feeling and disabled it. Is this a valid product from Malwarebytes? I am removing it. I have never enabled it. What should I do? (This is a new PC and I had a lot of crashes with Adobe XD (first week of December), overheating, PC freezing and hanging inexplicably)

Hello! I am a Malwarebytes user on Windows and android. Reading about Sunburst (FireEye, Microsoft, Solar Winds, Volexity etc). I know they are targeting governments and corporations from what is known right now. However Microsoft Outlook, Orion and other ubiquitious software have been compromised One does not know what else. Volexity reports said something about the thinktank had been compromised several years. Are Windows, Ms Office etc compromised? I am a Windows home user with Malwarebytes, hopefully safe online habits, authenticators. Ordinary people might get caught up in this and lose bank info or something. What other tools, habits or actions would you recommend for home users in this situation? Regards
