[Who's on First (Rock style)]

Always another variation of a classic

 

[Yet Another Cleaner, Yet Another Stealer]

Well -

Now I know why, when I tested it and reviewed it the results were so good.

I was just testing a program that I already had, even though I did this quite a while back.

 

People called it a PUP then, and wanted help to remove it, but I was able to install it twice, over several months, and just followed the given uninstall method at the time.

I'm tired of YAC downloading by itself

Yes, it is installed with other programs, never by itself unless you ask it (as always read the fine print), but their site was quite open about that at the time.

 

It had a very "active" heuristic type of method towards many programs, and this is most likely how you trapped them.

 

It did not impress me above M.S.E. and MBAM combined, but it just had a few more "bells and whistles"....... Like a smiley face now on MBAM..

  << This may have been better ?? Sorry I did not put it up earlier ..

[slow customized scan]

so the default scan (critical point) is the recommended one's?

If you alter the scans (like others do to "custumized scan") , you may find settings will be changed for your next "regular scan".

The program just follows what you do, and you will need to reset back to "normal settings".

 

People often ask why the Rootkit section is altered after changing from default to a customized scan, and this is one of the reasons..

 

Thank You ..

[backdoor.bot I am ok?]

Hello max_vader,

 

If you have now deleted the offending backdoor.bot and it has no longer shown in any scans, the chances are that you have removed it (via Malwarebytes Anti-Malware now).

But you should always read the results (as you do) of your scans just be sure the problems do not return.

 

We will be able to direct you to the Experts area if there is any return of these infections.

[Malwarebytes and Vipre 2015 Coexistence]

The fix that I found is, go to advanced settings In Malwarebytes and set delay protection at start up to sixty Seconds

I do believe that the "delayed start-up" has been offered (and worked) a few times over the recent years with a few Antivirus programs.

 

Thank you for taking an interest in program development. They will be sure to read this topic.

[WHY ? ?]

Several of these have been in other posts, but I collected as many as I could find for the one topic ..

Some have simple answers, but these are the Whys.

 

WHY .............

 

Why do supermarkets make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions, while "healthy" people can buy cigarettes at the front ?
Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and then a Diet Coke ?
Why do banks leave vault doors open, and then chain their pens to the counter ? (often stated)
Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in our driveways, and put our useless junk in the garage ?
Ever wonder, Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin ?
Why can't women put on mascara with their eyes closed ?
Why don't we ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery" ?
Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word ?
Why is it that doctors and lawyers call what they do 'practice' ?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavouring, and dish washing liquid made with real lemons ?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker ?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour ?
Why isn't there a mouse-flavoured cat food ?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes ?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections ?
You know that indestructible black box that is used in airplanes ? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff ??
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains ?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together ?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal ?

 

 

If none of those tickled your fancy, there is always the tried and true old finale, ..........
Your God promised man good and obedient wives in all corners of the world - - - - - Then he made the world round and laughed and laughed .....

 

That is all I have for a while, so I need to gather another topic  .

[detection settings - a question regarding the option to scan for rootkits]

Hello -

From what I see it is because you have selected Custom Scanning Options only.

If you do not select the settings for Custom Scanning, is this not a problem, or do you still have settings that change.

 

I find / found that with "routine settings" they are not altering, but others may have found other reasons for this change that I am not able to see.

 

My Rootkit setting is the same as usual, and has been set that way for some time now ...

 

Thank You

[I can't remove Malwarebytes...]

With the exception of a few stray entries, it has been removed and no longer runs anywhere.

Hi

Just a minor extra, with earlier versions we did advise you to make sure you removed the program from Programs and Features.

But with the newer removal tool, this is not always required today, so 1PW has given you the latest removal methods...

 

Thank You -

What's the difference ?
There are skid marks before the possum .........


As the golfer truged towards the 19th hole, he muttered "That was my worst game ever".
To which his caddy replied, "You mean you have played the game before ?"

 

Politions are like a bunch of bananas ........
They start off green, quickly turn yellow, and there's not a straight one in the whole bunch.

[MBAM Premium Question]

Hello Joe and Welcome.

Did you at any time Remove the Key and ID from the old computer prior to it "dying", or can you remove/uninstall it at all ??

Please read This FAQ area relating to removal and reinstalling the Key and ID.

 

There are other methods to help you, but Removal first is the best way to install onto another computer.

 

Thank You.

Three Tourists
-------------------------

Three tourists were driving through Wales one morning.

As they were approaching Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town's name.

 

They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch.

As they stood at the counter one asked the blonde employee,

 

"Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us?

 

Would you please pronounce where we are... very slowly?"

 

The girl leaned over the counter and slowly said, "Burrrrrr, gerrrrrr, Kiiiiiing."

Hello herbc and welcome.

 

Please start with This FAQ Area, to Uninstall then Reinstall your copy of the program.

Thank You .........

[Installing on Win8.1 -> Extra Start Menu shortcut?]

If you have purchased and activated the Premium version I can find both, as the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Notifications refers to any infection detected.

 

This way you are "Notified" of a detection, while with the free version, you need to manually scan to find infections.

 

This is my reading on your question, as

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

- Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Notifications

- Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

- Uninstall Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

 

AND >

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware\Tools

- Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Chameleon

Are automatically installed since, Chameleon is the inbuilt version uses if you can only get to Safe Mode due to an infection, or other problem.

 

Please see this information on Chameleon that you get free as an extra.
