Malwarebytes and keyloggers

[PeterV]

Hello.

Does Malwarebytes scan automatically disable all the possibly infected files? If it doesn't, does it alarm you if it detects keyloggers?

I was running a scan with Malwarebytes while using the computer. Approximately 50 minutes after the scan was started it detected 3 possible infections. The scan took a total of 2 hours and 11 minutes.

It occured to me, that if any of those 3 would have been keyloggers, AND IF malwarebytes doesn't disable them immediately, it should atleast give a warning to the user.

Just wanted to check this.

Kind regards,

Peter

Hello and

If it is a legitimate key logger then we will not detect and remove it. It is quite legal in most situations to use one depending on circumstances.

We only detect key loggers that are not from an established legitimate source.
