malwarebytes scan never finds anything ? but norton does ?

[acid90]

since installing ver2 of malwarebytes ALL the scans (i checked history) are no results found ( i norton IS installed as well as malwarebytes )

 

Is there something wrong with my installation because when had Malwarebytes v1 installed it would lots of cookie malware as i visit many torrent and pdf magazine download sites - do you have any ideas im getting no results with v2 ??? (i did try going back to v1 but it doent seem to let you install and connect to the database anymore)

 

just as an example this is the scan i ran last night

 

 

then i ran norton straight after

i ran a full scan on C: just to make sure

maybe the blocker is just good i dont get infected anymore - so to test i have just turned protection off 

 

and visted

Malwarebytes does not target tracking cookies, and never have... as they are not malware

 

Are cookies really spyware and are they dangerous?   http://superantispyware.com/supportfaqdisplay.html?faq=26

you can empty cookie folders (and other crap files)  with CCleaner  http://www.piriform.com/

Hello acid90:

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) defers to your high quality, required, complimentary A-V product to mitigate most classes of file infector malware and yes, tracking cookies too.

HTH

now i the brower i use is opera as it has full access to these websites while chrome blocks them.

 

malware didnt find any - but im sure they are there since these sites have popup windows and are proper dodgy.

 

 

norton found 2

ah ok thanks for the reply guys and info 

 

i thought it used to clean tracking cookies.. thats why i was worried

 

but i will relax now 

 

thanks again...
