SpamazoR Posted September 4, 2015 ID:987145 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hey, I was cleaning a relatives computer today and this was the final product, moments before the scan completed. I was shocked to see the number haha. This did include a scan for PUP's. Thank you for removing all those nasties Malwarebytes ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daledoc1 Posted September 4, 2015 ID:987147 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Wow! That might be close to a record. Assuming you are comfortable with all of the detections being removed....Please be sure to give MBAM plenty of time to complete the removal, as it may take a long while.It would be a good idea NOT to use the computer for other activities during that time.And it may ask for a reboot to complete the removal process. Thank you, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porthos Posted September 5, 2015 ID:987262 Share Posted September 5, 2015 ... Or any other Antivirus? You can't assume the Antivirus is at fault here, chances are the user might be as well.Bet 80% of those items would not have received even a second look by ANY AV. That is why MBAM exists and why the premium version is important especally combined with MBAE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is much better to have MBAE and MBAM premium with something like Windows Defender than some bloated junk antivirus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it find any?Probably wouldnt hurt to run Adwcleaner, Hitman Pro and JRT afterward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted September 7, 2015 ID:987572 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I think Porthos is fully aware of what Malwarebytes is Also, not every Antivirus is bloated, nor junky. There's actually really good Antivirus out there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't advertise it on forums because of the crucifixion I have received in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't advertise it on forums because of the crucifixion I have received in the past.Hey if Pbust says its a good setup, who cares what other people say lol? Ive been recommending that setup for a while. Short of Bromium or Fire Eye i think its about the best in that combination.On the topic of cleaning out peoples computers, last night i helped my friend speed up and clean out his ancient potato of a desktop. His dad had installed IObit malware on it because he thought it protected him lol.After cleaning that trash i used MBAM, Adwcleaner, JRT, HMP, Autoruns and Process Explorer to fix the rest of the issues. Now it boots up way faster and actually works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
