I'm about to buy the Pro Version..I have a question

[Master64]

First of all, I made this same topic an hour ago, but it didn't appear. I don't know if it has to be approved first or not, I didn't see any message.

Well, I got the famous FBI Moneypak Virus six months ago, I was able to fix this problem by using Malwarebytes in Safe Mode, I uninstalled it later on.

This week, I've got the Virus two times, sadly I can no longer use the same method, because my display turns off by itself after 10 minutes in Safe Mode, so I can't complete the scan. So I did a System Restore, and everything seems fine now.

My current anti-virus, Spyware Doctor, doesn't seem to be doing the job right, so I'm really interested on buying the Pro Version, because of its "Real Time Protection" feature, my question is: Is the Pro Version really going to help me with this well-known Virus? Any users having nice experiences with it?

Thanks

Hi, Master64:

Thanks for your support of MBAM.

Just to clarify a bit, MBAM is NOT an anti-virus, nor does it replace one: Does Malwarebytes Anti-Malware replace antivirus software?

So, your first line of computer defense -- software-wise -- is a robust, updated, real-time anti-virus (AV), either free or paid.

There are many excellent options.

One of our forum mods has some suggestions here: Free Antivirus Recommendations

MBAM PRO is designed and tested to run alongside the real-time AV to provide an additional layer of real-time protection against the sort of threats that the big AVs don't catch. In addition to safe computing practices and other safeguards, the combination of a robust, real-time AV + MBAM PRO will help to prevent malware infections.

No one program or combination of programs can possibly protect against the zillions of constantly-mutating malware variants.

But the MBAM engineers work 24/7/365 to stay abreast of things, aided by a team of Malware Hunters who regularly provide samples.

Your consumer license for MBAM is a lifetime, transferrable license, so it's an excellent value.

If you have multiple computers, you'll need one license for each rig, but there's a discount if you purchase multiple licenses at one transaction.

Thanks a lot for the fast reply. I think you gave me the best answer that a staff member can do (Are you a staff member? xD).

Every tutorial (Web site, blog, Youtube video) that offers solution on how to fix this problem, offers Malwarebytes as an option, that's why I'm really interested on getting it at its full potential (Pro Version).

It would be nice to get opinions of users, with the same or similar problem as mine.

Thanks, but as my signature says, I'm just a home user and forum volunteer.

As for the specifics of FBI Moneypak detection/removal, I'll need to defer to the staff/experts on that.

(But I hope never to have any personal, first-hand experience with FBI MoneyPak, if I can help it. )

Cheers!
