Hey I got sent a file, it was an EXE, cant say what it is, but it came up as a hacktool or something, from a trusted friend, but he said he's used it for years and no problem... Could it be a false negative? Anyways MSE blocked it before i could do anything. Im not too sure if i should use it though :/ (cant say what im going to use it for either). Its a win32 hacktool medium threat or something.

Can. dll files have viruses?
Otherguyx replied to Otherguyx's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
i scanned it and it said it was safe... wait i think i installed it wrong... im going to try to install the program one more time and see if that fixes it... but the dll came up as clean, and had been scanned before, with 2 good reviews saying goodware. Seems ok i guess... -

Will quick format get rid of viruses?
Otherguyx replied to Otherguyx's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
ok i did as you said, and did the full format, hopefully all the viruses are gone -
Ok so i turned off autorun on my pc, and i put in my external hard drive, 500GB, and when i try to do a normal format to ntfs it doesnt work, just takes damn ages (probs looking for bad boot sectors on hdd), but quick format does the job quickly and easily, if i suspect, dont know if there is or not, but if i suspect thre are viruses in that hard drive, is quick format enough? Or is it really reccomended to do a full format?

Is scanning zip files in parts enough?
Otherguyx replied to Otherguyx's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
ok mr firefox man. I have a problem when trying to scan. I right click one of the parts and click scan with microsoft security essentials but its not scanning... it comes up with the scan thing for like 1 second, and thats it... its bugging me now malwarebytes seems to work. Im scanning each part seperately with malwarebytes. But is it normal for the scan to finish for a 2gb file to be done in 8 seconds? Its in parts so its around 8 -9 gb all together. So what can i do, how do i scan without getting infected. Also if i download something, and unzip it, is there any chance of me getting infected? -

Is scanning zip files in parts enough?
Otherguyx replied to Otherguyx's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
thanks, so i also have a few exe's that my friend gave, they are programs, how do i check if they have viruses. And how do i check if there are malwares in the zip files? -
My friend sent me a big file but he split it into parts by compression of 7zip compression software thing. Now its in 4 parts, but im worried it might have viruses in it. I know scanning it is the best thing i can do as it looks into it. But 1) does scanning a zip file even work. Does it find all the stuff? 2) Also since it is in parts, what if there is a virus, wont the virus be in parts? 3) And if it is, will it not come up? Im just worried as alot of people have viruses on pc's and they spread like mad and there is always a chance... Also another question is, 4)will scanning exe files be enough to see if they have viruses inside? And my final question is 5) How do i scan a single file using Malwarebytes? When i go on malwarebytes i see full, and quick scan... Thank you everyone!
