  1. I've been using avast! since it came out(I had the LCARS skin). It has had its share of problems in the past, and that I have personally experienced with it. Over all, it is one of the best I have used and have learned my lessons and have gone back to it time and time again. One BIG thing I learned from avast! and have carried it through to my other security software, virus/malware/security engine updates are fine on a daily basis, BUT the PROGRAM updates are best handled with an uninstall then install the new program. Avast! has caused me grief in the past with the program updates and the best and most stable install is the reinstall from scratch not patch and update. I do this for all my security software program (anti-malware/anti-virus/firewall) updates.
  2. OK, I found another MBAM entry ..... I should have looked closer befor posting the 1st time. So what here do I delete? The whole reg entry, or just the MBAM entry?!
  3. Ya, well, its been a while for me being here, I had to redo my password as well.
  4. I just ran into this problem, and I posted after doing a search for the issue. I was just board and reading through here and found this. Maybe you should do this as a sticky at the start of this forum. Anyways, it's been like 4 months, and still no fix for the issue?!
  5. I have USB OTG on my phone, good luck infecting a Linux with an .exe
  6. Its been a few yeas since I've visited here, and being lucky as I am I'm still virus and malware free. It's good surfing habits and proper layers of protection. So, I was going to update my signature, but the system wont let me do this, Accounts Settings>Edit Profile>You Are Not Allowed To Edit This Profile .... Really?! .... Anyone experience this?
  7. Even though this thread is a few years old, I have the same question, and it has not been answered in this thread. I did have MBAM / avast! / Online Armor Firewall in my netbook (Gateway LT21 - W7 Starter 32Bit), but the combination of the 3 just slowed the unit down to a crawl. I got rid of avast!, OA Firewall and MBAM, I installed MSE and used Windows Firewall. The netbook I really only use for word possessing, not much more (it really can't handle much more). So, I have had some issues with MSE getting stuck and freezing up during the Deep Scan, so I proceeded to do a manual registry clean. I started with avast, and to my surprise there were leftovers, even after I did the uninstall with the Avast Clean from safe mode! The same goes with MBAM, I used the uninstaller tool, and now I find leftovers. There are 2 I have deleted so far, and there is 1 folder, and 1 sub folder, at the bottom of the Trolltech entry in the Registry. So the Google search provided nothing relevant to why there is MBAM entry at the bottom, there was lots and its all over the place.... So, is Trolltech part of MBAM and is it safe for me to delete it?, OR, do I just delete the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware folder? Remember, MSE is locking up and freezing, causing me to reboot the system on the netbook.
  8. Why don't you state on the Google Play Store,,,,,,BETA,,,,,app.......
  9. 'Addons Detector' didn't find ad.leadboltads.net, or ChargeBar or anything for that fact. Even after I deleted ChargeBar, it couldn't find where the file/folder that the browser popopen was located, or a differnt app that the advertising may have been connected to. The only app that detected the presence of ChargeBar and ad.leadboltads.net, was Lookout Security & Antivirus. Never mind though, I loaded MROM in and I'm doing a clean install of all apps. Even if I had pirated/cracked apps in my phone, that were infected with ad.leadboltads.net Malware. The reciepiant of the revineu from the page clicks is Lead Bolt Ads, and so, they are the ones distributing Malware in pirated/cracked apps. Am I right!
  10. I really don't want to flash a new ROM, although if I did, I'd go back to the stock ROM. I hope something new can be learned here, a new definition or detection can be found in all this. Understanding how the money flows in the malware/virus industry(?), I would bet that Leadboltads owns Asgard Casino Apps as a distributor for their malware, as well as hosting lots of other apps as well. Here's a link to a post I commented at XDA (post #7): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48462170#post48462170
  11. I initially installed MBAM Android because I'm infected with a known Stock Browser Pop Open Advertising app BS. 'ad.leadboltads.net' Pops open my stock browser on restart/boot. MBAM didn't catch this, Lookout Security & Antivirus caught this, they don't have a forum to help me. This originates from a benign "FREE" app, that updates later (3 months), after you download it and install it. The app is ChargeBar (free): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tombarrasso.android.batterybar ChargeBar states on the Google Play that the app is advertising driven, and, the advertising can be removed by deleting the app,,,,this part is a lie. I have deleted the app but the the browser pop open advertising is persistent. Lookout Security & Antivirus can not find the new location of the malware. By the very definition, this is malware, and, ChargeBar (Asgard Casino Apps) is involved in the distribution of malware. They are using Google to distribute this malware, abet, that app is benign in it origin. Sneaky aren`t they......... #1) I would like to get this crap off my phone. #2) I need to bring this to Google's attention, and have the developer banned from the Play store. Any help here or is it back to XDA....... MichaelT
  12. OK, good to know that the bug was reported. But,,, It does not happen on my Motorola Atrix 4G MB860. My Moto is modded with: NottachTrix v2.3.0 ROMfaux123 1.3GHz OCd KernelCWM RecoveryN_01_77 33P RadioROOT/SuperuserSIM Unlocked

  14. Every time I reboot/change battery's, MBAM gives me a error pop up. Samsung SGH-S780M, Stock ROM, Rooted, SIM Unlocked. I have a Motorola MB860 that mirrors the Sammy, I have no issues with the Moto, even though its heavily customized.
  15. I just updated, I made sure that MBAM is set up exactly the same in BOTH the ADMIN and USER accounts. Your patches still didn't fix the problem your released it for. MBAM still is blocking IP addreess's (avast! update servers/others) as maliousious, even if they aren't. This is how I have it set up. This setup will block IP address's, even if MBAM is unchecked to NOT start with the protection module. IF I uncheck the 'ENABLE' the result is an unsightly B+W icon in the tray: You fixed/patched nothing..............
