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. On the second instance, the same thing happened, except the downloads tab file location opened itself up when i had never clicked on it before. On both of these instances, I turned off the laptop via holding down the power button for like 10 seconds to hard reset it. I'm worried that somehow my computer is being controlled with malicious intent, but after running scans on the file in question and my entire hard drive using both the Windows Defender and Malware-Bytes Anti-Malware corporate scanning, nothing pops up at all, and I'm worried that the issues will continue to persist. Please help if possible! Here's the text log of the quick scan for the corporate scan, the full scan with windows defender scanned all my files and returned similar results: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Corporate) 1.80.2.1012 www.malwarebytes.org Database version: main: v2020.06.27.08 rootkit: v0000.00.00.00 Windows 10 x64 NTFS Internet Explorer 11.900.18362.0 micro :: LAPTOP-F0CHSQSO [administrator] 6/28/2020 12:37:56 AM mbam-log-2020-06-28 (00-37-56).txt Scan type: Quick scan Scan options enabled: Memory | Startup | Registry | File System | Heuristics/Extra | Heuristics/Shuriken | PUP | PUM Scan options disabled: Objects scanned: 193274 Time elapsed: 6 minute(s), 31 second(s) Memory Processes Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Registry Values Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Registry Data Items Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Folders Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Files Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) (end) Here's the log of the .rar file scanned in question: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Corporate) 1.80.2.1012 www.malwarebytes.org Database version: main: v2020.06.27.08 rootkit: v0000.00.00.00 Windows 10 x64 NTFS Internet Explorer 11.900.18362.0 micro :: LAPTOP-F0CHSQSO [administrator] 6/28/2020 1:01:28 AM mbam-log-2020-06-28 (01-01-28).txt Scan type: Custom scan (C:\Users\micro\Downloads\Adobe Photoshop 2020 21.0.1.47 (x64) RePack by SanLex [Multi.Ru].rar|) Scan options enabled: File System | Heuristics/Shuriken | PUP | PUM Scan options disabled: Memory | Startup | Registry | Heuristics/Extra Objects scanned: 1 Time elapsed: 6 second(s) Memory Processes Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Registry Values Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Registry Data Items Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Folders Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Files Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) (end)

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 scan was currently going through. And when the scan then stops for a few actual full seconds you got to see witch files / sections were taking longer. I think having it at least as a optional function in the settings (turned off by default I guess) would be very nice. And since it exited in your previous version of the program I hope it won't cause you too much trouble. Thank you for your time.

I often download a lot of .rar files and I scan them and the scan ends quick which makes me think its not scanning inside? Can it do this or do I have to extract first?
