Well sman Webroot Secure Anywhere is marketed as a antivirus and i have always hd this drilled into my head never usw more then one AV so my gut tells me that that person is incorrect and the only programs that should be used are ones marketed as such form our own page here Antivirus compatibility — Click here to learn more
https://www.malwarebytes.org/pdf/reviews/AVTestingReport.pdf

well i only ever buy software legally dont do anything p2p based and im the last one to click on odd links and use open source programs for nearly everything but still terrifys me

a all in one solution or product merger of some kind such as that would be fantastic as i would trust Malwarebytes above any other service for a layered solution i have used MBAM free since version 1 took the much needed step to pro now premium just before 2.0 and was grandfatherd in lucky me
was overjoyed thatMalwarebytes Anti-Rootkit was sort of rolled into the main product so id like to see AE get into premium in some form know what i mean sorry if it sounds like a complaint cuz its its not i just think all these applications should be a part of the flagship especially Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit in the age of cyptolocker and ill be honest as a person who cant afford much Malwarebytes was a god send on the original lifetime model but i had to pay a subscription now i cpuld never afford it id love to get Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium which lets be honest is the version we all really need but i cant so i hope beyond hope that malwarebyes can be made into a solution of some kind hope im making good sense?if i had to pay for both id be paying $ 63.90 a year plus my standard av lol protection gets expensive

please see https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/177172-avastlocktext/whichalso links to another thread
not i do not feel im infected as i just went though a extensive general clean up with Ron so im just following instructions as noted maybe im just paranoid ?

Hey guys i just have a general question sort of if i have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium plus uBlock Origin ( https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock) plus ghostrey (https://www.ghostery.com/try-us/download-browser-extension/) plus no script do i still need aE or how protected am i with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium? and i would actully love if AE was incorporated into your main product or you consider a all in one application like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware security center or something because the product line gets bigger but Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium seems left behind you guys are fantastic and truly the best though don't get me wrong

i do use avast yes same pc
C:\Windows\Temp\_avast_\Avastlock.text
-
anyone know what its for and why it may appear in my windows folder?
-
I could not restore the file but had avast do a repair and deleted the file that was in quarantine seems fine now just be sure you see no reason to go over to the Malware removal thread at this point in time? if not then the pc is running way better we killed alot of crap and overall im happy with the results
-
the overall system is running much better though as a result of https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/176908-possible-false-positive-on-avast-instupdll/#entry1010314 malwarebytes has quarantined this file before the fix is it advisable to restore the file?
and one last thing can we remove some files related to visual Studio i did not want the program it was te result of npt unchecking a textbox within unity3d game engine never fully installed nor is it uninstalled after all that i think im good thanks ron for all your help
-
there we go clearing out all that junk has now allowed me to see what i believe to be the real issue
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=159542.15 based on that thread im unsure if i should move to a different AV?
-
dont mind a manual script as long as we can note which ones are removed and howto put them back
i use google auto updates for chrome btw i use chome for netflix and firefox as my main brower
-
Hey there run lets go ahead and disable as much of the asus crapware as possible ideally the only things that should run on start up are my computer protection software peerblock is ok to keep gog iuse a lot but shouldn't start up i hate that lol if you could walk me through the process and then we can see whats left
-
here ya go i should note that "smart screen trigger on FRST. i allowed it to run anyway but as ive run this 3 times already should i be concerned or is smart-screen cloudbased and ever changing?
-
Hi Ron sounds like it would be best not to waste my time with the tool then so if you could review my start up as you offered using my last set of logs that be great
-
hey there thanks run as this is a OEM asus machine could i potently use http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/pc-decrapifier/to remove some of those programs that may be starting? or would you not recommend that ?
-
well te computer does seem to be running better in general however cpu usage seems to fluctuate between 6-14% while not doing much at all i dont know whats considered a ok range for a asus laptop? also since my last windows update whenever i clean with ccleaner internet explorer temp seems to generate a large number of files so can windows logs together everything can total at lest 100 mb sometimes as high as 800
maybe im being slightly paranoid
i did switch myadblocker from ABP to ublock Origin
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/msybe that has a consequence?
i did generate no logs for your reviewer agter your recommended steps where completed just in case
-
Understood as its late and has been noted that the index may take a long time id like to resume this in the morning with you but for now could you tell me what issues the logs indicated and also if the index rebuild is the last issue as of right now or we may need a longer process? thanks
UPDATE index finished rather quickly actually
whats next for tomorrow
-
here is the results log

-
Hi guys so not long ago i had SVC host crash on me while i was installing https://unity3d.com/i work for a company as a beta tester anyway i was also doing a malwarebytes scan at the same time is it at all possible that the laptop was just overloaded and caused this event? i did do a avast and malware-bytes scan after hard reboot both came back clean and haven't had any errors since my SFC scan did come back with some unfixable errors but that could just be because im using GWX control panel to block windiws 10 upgrade

some of the discs i have gotten do infarct have XCP and meadiamax i did take the step of disabling autoplay open the disc once by right clicking and using "open in new window" just to glance at the files but have only grabbed the music with foobar2000 f0r personal listening I have currently MBAM premium and Avast free on windows 8.1 so am i safe ?
-
thanks ive reviewed that article before posting its very contradicting it says that most cdshave been recalled andsettlment reached but then says some discs still had it in stores as late as 2008 theres also i list but it still as clear as mud
so iwould like to know if i should still be concerd with both older (including re issue) snd newer media? if Malwarebytes pro can detect and remove this threat in 2015 from systems
was overjoyed thatMalwarebytes Anti-Rootkit was sort of rolled into the main product so id like to see AE get into premium in some form know what i mean sorry if it sounds like a complaint cuz its its not i just think all these applications should be a part of the flagship especially Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit in the age of cyptolocker and ill be honest as a person who cant afford much Malwarebytes was a god send on the original lifetime model but i had to pay a subscription now i cpuld never afford it id love to get Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium which lets be honest is the version we all really need but i cant so i hope beyond hope that malwarebyes can be made into a solution of some kind hope im making good sense?
