Hello, today, I wanted to install a game, long story short, it came with a virus, it came in a zip file, I ran the executable and it installed me 2 programs: "Garbage Cleaner" and a disk cleaning program, I already knew it was a virus in that moment, I deleted it, checked the task manager, many processes with random names were open, I tried to delete as much as posible, but there were 2 files I couldn't, I ran the Windows defender scan (back then I didn't have malwarebytes) and it said it didn't detect any threats besides the exceptions (I didn't add anything to the exceptions), so I checked t

After uninstalling a game I attempted to manually delete the leftover files. Deleting the main folder deleted some files & folders inside, but the main folder stayed, as well as some sub-folders & files. And something bizarre happened (or is this normal?) - after attempting to manually delete some of the files (perma [shift+del]) they seemed to be deleted, but after going a directory up and then returning to the one were the file was [attempted] deleted it somehow reappeared. I know that files can refuse to be deleted because they are "in use", but this I'm seeing for the first tim

I notice that, in almost all games a virus is added. Whenever, I've downloaded a game over Internet. I came across to such problems all the times. Why they do so with a Game Crack?

Hello; first time writing and i'm in a quandary. I love to play shooter games but not very good at it so when i can, i find console commands or use -devmode and when that fails, i find a trainer for the game. This go around, for the game alan wake american nightmare, the trainers i've found are flagged by MB. I read that mostly these are false positives. I don't know how you can tell this from a real virus so i've been deleting those flagged ones. Now i've run out of trainer options. The thing MB picks up is called Hacktool.e (can't see the whole name in taskmanager) probably it's hacktool.exe

Hello All, When trying to launch Half-Life 2: The Lost Coast from my Steam application, Malwarebytes flags the exe file as well as some of the additional files as Malware, specifically labeling it as a Malware.Packer.RRE, it quarantines the file and prevents the game from launching. At first I was concerned, thinking that the game file had somehow really been infected, so I quarantined and deleted everything that was flagged, restarted the computer, did a full scan and my PC registered as being clean and free of any Malware. I then re-downloaded a clean copy of The Lost Coast from Steam, and a

The attached screenshot is my issue . No internet connection... Keep with me and I apologize for the excessively large screenshots. The error message caught my attention, though right after this scan. I couldn't "analyze this" I got the 'No internet connection available' pop up. I began searching my PC for issues to resolve another issue that brings up the same internet error. The game League of Legends. I came across this error about 2 weeks ago out of random. I hopped back on my PC after not using it for maybe a month solid (I was using my laptop). And I ended up uninstalling and attempting

As with a number of users running XP, I experienced problems with the new version of MBAM. However, the instructions re: uninstall/reinstall had fixed that issue. I ran a scan and it did not turn up any malware. However, when I went to play two games I had been playing before taking the above actions, they would not fully load. Each would get to a certain point and then simply disappear. No error messages would appear. Just loading to a certain point and then they were gone. These are older arcade games from 2007. I would just like some thoughts as to whether or not MBAM may have somethi
