How to remove PUP/PUM's using the cli commands


JBOB

Recommended Posts

Greeting Experts,

I am hoping somebody on this form can help me out figure out why my mbam-rt utility does not want to remove any malware. I use a .bat script to run mbam-rt (CLI) in the background of computers that are infected with malware.  Malwarebytes updates (i.e. mbam.exe /update -silent), runs the scan (i.e. mbam.exe /scan –full –silent –log –remove), and completes. When I look at the log file the action is as follows“-> No action taken” for each incident found (indicated as a Potentially Unwanted Programs “PUP”). I have used this same process with others systems (i.e. botnets, Rootkits, etc) and it removes the objects with no problem… Is there something that I am missing here… I have looked at the cli command list on the administrators guide and does not show any way to remove the pup’s .. Does anybody know how this can be done?

The problem is that by default, RT is set not to remove PUP and PUM items, only to report them. You can change this setting, however it doesn't stick unless you change the registry key storing the settings to be read-only, otherwise mbam.exe will overwrite it with the default setting the next time it is executed (for example, if you change the setting and then run a scan).

This is something that we intend to fix but at this time that is the only workaround.
