MWB Premium - under Security settings, what is the effect of: "Use expert system algorithms to identify malicious files." ? Does the product have these algorithms in-built, or does it have to go online to an external server to check suspicious items? I see it is set off as default, but what percentage (on average) does it add to the system scan time? I have not yet tried it, but I would hope that the "normal" scan algorithgm would pick up most malicious files? I would be grateful for any information or experience users have had, using this setting, and any effects on syst

A friend recommended me a RAR file to download through MediaFire for an application that he himself had downloaded and reported no issues with. Since downloading this file and extracting the program through Bandizip, there's been two instances that have scared the hell out of me. Out of seemingly nowhere when running chrome, my screen started to flicker, tabs started moving by themselves slightly off-screen, my mouse appeared to flicker back and forth, but i still had some control, and a new tab opened on chrome and characters started typing themselves into the top search bar by themselves. -
I purchased a bundled account for two devices Trying to activate on my OPPO RENO2 mobile, after entering the correct License number, I keep on getting the error message "format incorrect". Am sure the way I entered is correct. Thing is, the window is NOT LARGE enough to accomodate the entire licensing digits (4X5 digits). Who can help ? -
Usually when preforming a scan (I always do custom but I assume for any scan) you were able to see the current directory of the file being scanned. In the newest update how ever it seems this function is gone. I also see no optional option for it. I ask you to please please reconsider removing this feature from Malwarebytes it provides valuable information in the progress of the scan. It would be a shame to see it gone for good. This is valuable to me because even though the directory was only showing up for a few milliseconds you still got to see witch drive, main and sub folders the sca -

Hey guys, I am new to this forum and I have 2 questions. One regarding website blocking and another regarding malwarebytes scanning. I visited a website, which I thought seemed harmless, but malwarebytes premium came up and said that it blocked it. The website was . I apologize for posting the link here, I'm not sure how to disguise it. I was looking for information about sol files and it was the first google result. Anyways, after malwarebytes blocked it I got a little nervous about what happened, as one probably would, and so decided to run a scan. But malwarebytes was

I took the advice and uninstalled Avast in favor of MB 3.0. So far I generally like the result but I wonder about how MB is actually doing real time protection for email. I ask because Avast used to alert pretty much every day about some spam email message being infected with something and having quarantined it or something. These always were actual spam messages that would end up in the spam folder anyway, and then would have been deleted by me. Now that MB has been running alone for the past many days, those type of messages still go to the spam folder, but there is no MB warning when th
