  1. I'm trying to install the latest version and I'm getting false positives.NiceHashQuickMinerInstaller.zipexcavator.zip
  2. I've not used this software before but have found many recommendations for it including this particular version which doesn't appear to have been changed in quite a while. ccunlockerreport.txt Unlocker1-9-2.7z
  3. Program and Link were detected in last scan (1/26/2022) as Malware Sandbox 23. Searching the forums resulted in one previous false detection from 2020 which was corrected. I've been using the program since at least April of 2021 with no issues. The program itself doesn't appear to have been updated in many years (it's still one of the best free duplicate finders I've found). AwesomePhotoFinder.zip
  4. Check your email to see if it's still there, if you deleted it and don't have it backed up somewhere I imagine they could email it to you again (if support is also up and working now, it was down before). It could still be on a receipt as well. If you used mb-clean it should have created a txt document with the keys (it's supposed to re-enter it as well but it froze on me after reinstalling when I tried it earlier [which didn't work since they hadn't released the update yet]).
  5. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and click the arrow next to 'more details' (I see you've done so already but I want to be thorough for others sake). Click Malwarebytes service (under Processes) and press delete, after a few moments you should get a message that the service stopped working and restarted. If you have the latest update it should now be resolved (at least that's what I did).
  6. For those having network issues my best guess would be that something got corrupted. I'd suggest running the Windows diagnostic tool on it and maybe trying to reinstall the drivers. It is possible that some hardware got burned out but if it did that's not really mbams fault (yes the faulty update caused memory and network problems but if it actually burned something out that means that the cooling system was insufficient and the computer failed to shutdown when it should have). My laptops running a gen 3 or 4 I7 which was still pretty new at the time, it's always on, always a bit hot around the fans but aside from killing my battery (because I didn't use it off charge enough) the system is still running strong after several similar issues throughout the years caused by other programs and sometimes Windows itself. The mbam team should have sent out an email but they identified a new problem and got it fixed in a relatively short timespan which unfortunately happened to coincide with planned maintenance (or so I presume) of the support server (I suppose it's also possible the support server got the bad update as well but they probably have protection against that).
  7. Thank God it's fixed. I had to disable mbam for a while so it would stop crashing my system but it's working now. Honestly had me pretty freaked out since I couldn't access the support site either (apparently it's under maintenance though it could be my blockers) and there was the whole CCleaner scare recently (the attackers took over the update server). This machines starting to get a bit old too and it's always on so I was a little worried about hardware at first (though that fear subsided when I traced the problem to mbam service). After all these years using mbam (and more recently mbam pro) I can honestly say I've had very few issues over the years. A few false positives back in my portable apps days (the compression wrapper used for the apps was also used in some malware), an issue with the UI not starting when I got pro (that seems to be fixed now though originally I just delayed my startup), and then this today. Overall I'd say it's a really good track record and I plan to continue to use and support mbam as long as I can. As a testament to how long it's been since I've used the forums (and a good measure for how rarely I've had major issues) I had to reset my password to access the forums because neither my old notes nor my password manager had it.
  8. I'm thankful for my job I finally got after years of searching. I'd also be quite thankful if I got a free Mbam Pro license.
  9. I just ran a scan that told me that WinDump is malware. I got the program from a trusted site (http://www.winpcap.org/windump/ Rated as excellent on WOT and also the providers of WinPCap which is used for both white and black hat activities). WinPCap is primarily a packet capture tool for Windows, WinDump is a tool used to diagnose WinPCap and other wireless devices supported by it. WinDump is the windows version of tcpdump a linux tool. Though the site doesn't directly say to put it in the System32 directory as I did by placing it in the System32 directory I can easily use WinDump from the command line (it is a command line tool). My best guess as to why mbam detected it as trojan is because it is by it's nature a data capture tool and a malicious version of it could very well steal all sorts of sensitive information. Also, chances are that someone has packaged a virus that uses WinPCap or WinDump just as people have used NSIS to package viruses even though NSIS is not a virus but instead just a highly efficient compression engine. mbam_log_2011_02_01__10_49_11_.zip
  10. Seems ComboFix either removed itself or got removed by another cleaner. Will run OTC when I've finished my current work (Later tonight). Current Backup Solution is to use SyncToy (2.1) to copy all copyable files to my EHDD Comodo usually runs as just a firewall but, due to a recent problematic email (which come to think of it could be related to those weird Temp files-they didn't send anything though.) I'm running Defense+ as well. Malwarebyte's is my only Anti-virus right now but, since I have Comodo and run scans regularly I don't see a need for anything heavier (No need to have to active protection modules). I have my own updater.bat file I created that uses FileHippo, SoftInformer, and Windows Update to check for updates. It also runs the update for mbam from the Command Line. I use Firefox and Opera depending on the application. I like the customization features of Firefox and use AdBlock+ along with WOT to keep spy/adware down (Very few issues there). I use opera for safe browsing and when I'm running on a limited power supply for extended periods of time. (Meetings outside without an outlet). I once had the McAfee Site Advisor and I didn't really like it. I get the same effect with the two smaller plugins I just mentioned. I believe Comodo replaces the HOST file for me. It's also good at blocking incoming stuff. Basically if a program tries to access the net and it's not in Comodo's safe list it will prompt me and if I don't answer in time it will block the request. As far as performance goes I'm planning to reformat it soon and install Win7 64 and possibly switch from having an actual Ubuntu Partition to a virtual Ubuntu using VirtualBox. I'm still looking into all the +'s and -'s that would go along with this. Either way the reformat will give me a chance to really test my hard drive and I'll probably run a MemTest before I even begin the reformatting process. Thanks for all the help.
  11. I successfully ran a scan yesterday after rebooting into Linux and deleting the before mentioned Temporary files. I'm not quite sure what was accessing those files but, I do know it wasn't Firefox, Opera, or Comodo. Mbam didn't report any viruses. Do you still advise I run the ESET scan?
  12. I did run the tool and after probably 2 hours of it running and 20 minutes of me fixing what it broke (ComboFix always does that to me, tis why I avoided it). My computer seems to be back the way it was before running combofix (not including any fixes it made) and I'm currently trying another scan. I'll post the results when it's finished.
  13. I posted this in another thread and the help I'm getting there is pretty much useless. So I will provide all the data I can think of right here along with a HijackThis log I just generated. First off there's the prepared file I made that includes files made by mbams own tools (bug collector and developer mode). I tried uninstalling running mbam-clean and reinstalling/updating. I'm running a dual boot setup with Windows and Ubuntu but, I don't think any Linux files are to blame. The error occurs only when I full scan and have the setting to scan filesystem objects turned on. The crash is usually preceded by an error. The crash is only the mbam program itself not the computer. My Computer (especially my Windows 7-32 partition) is kept completely up to date. Turning off the heuristics doesn't help. I'm not using a licensed copy of mbam and cannot afford one right now. Other antivirus's/firewalls: Comodo Firewall is on (and not blocking mbam), Windows Firewall was on, is now off (no difference). Windows Defender is on. After mbam started crashing I've run ClamWin a few times (it doesn't run actively). If there's anything I've missed do tell (but, please don't ask me to repeat myself.) mbam_bug_report_info.zip hijackthis.zip
  14. I've never had any issues with having both firewalls on and Windows Firewall has a tendency of turning itself on whether I want it to or not (via updates and such). I will try with Windows Firewall Turned off though. The reinstall did nothing (hence why I'm still posting here). I know for a fact that Comodo isn't blocking anything (I double checked the logs and set the entire mbam folder as safe).
  15. Usually I would add that sort of information but, I figured most of it would be in the attached report. For quick reference I am using the Free version of Malwarebyte's (I can't currently afford to go pro), I'm on a Windows 7 Professional =, 32-bit OS, and my only other AntiVirus/Firewall is Comodo Firewall Pro (free version). I made sure to add the entire mbam directory to Comodo's Safe list and I've not seen anything come up saying it was blocked. Windows Firewall is On, Windows Defender is on and presumably in default configuration (I've not personally changed it). Also Malwarebytes is usually updated daily but, I've not seen any differences caused by the updates in this behavior. (I have noticed that no new version of the actualy anti-virus has been released in a while.) Finally following the advice above I did do a clean uninstall/install of the newest Version of mbam.
  16. It crashed again. As I believe I said in the download it only breaks if I Full Scan with scan File System Objects turned on.
  17. The problem never occurs in the quick scan (sorry should have mentioned that earlier) but, I am doing a Full Scan now with the Heuristics turned off.
  18. Tried your advice but, still not working right. It still crashed somewhere within Scanning Windows. FYI my Windows installation is completely up to date, I also dual boot with Ubuntu but, I don't believe any data has been put into the Windows Folders by Ubuntu and even it there was Mbam has never had a problem with those files, it would just show a reading error and continue the scan.
  19. I believe I've posed about this before but, since I can't find any sign of that post I've decided to post a new topic. I've prepared the information in a zip file and found the most appropriate place I could to post to. If there is a better way then please let me know (I don't hang around this forum a lot and have rarely had issues with mbam.) mbam_bug_report_info.zip
  20. Running Malwarebytes 1.46 database updated June 21. The file is part of the AutoIt program which is a scripting language that utilizes Macro's. The file shouldn't be infected and it was probably detected either because it uses UPX compression which is a great compression technology but is also used to make many viruses or because a malicious coder used AutoIt and mbam recognized certain parts of a known virus. Below is a link to the AutoIt sites sticky about false positives: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34658 Attached is a log made using developer mode, due to time constraints I only scanned until I found the 'infected' file. mbam_log_2010_06_25__13_54_36_.rar
