Cain Posted July 9, 2016 ID:1050171 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I signed up for the Forum here just to pass along my sincere appreciation for MalwareBytes!! I've been using MBAW almost since its beginnings, I started out using the Free version and then later updated to the Premium/Paid Version. Quick background. I ran popular Game servers for many years and received more viruses via email than anyone I know (it is amazing when you ban a jerk from your servers how vindictive they can become). Anyhow I always saved the various attachments and tested them with various virus scanners in Virtual Machines. The ONLY anti-virus that was consistently the best was MBAM.... It was always the best combination of detection, quarantine and not over reacting. I've loved this program for a very long time and have recommended it to countless people, and continue to do so! On my system I also have your Beta Anti-Ransomware and Anti-Rootkit loaded. So long story short, THANK YOU for an amazing product that does what it is supposed to do, and does it consistently well! -- Cain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daledoc1 Posted July 9, 2016 ID:1050175 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Hello and welcome, @Cain: Thanks for your positive feedback. Just a quick note re this: 20 minutes ago, Cain said: The ONLY anti-virus that was consistently the best was MBAM.... It was always the best combination of detection, quarantine and not over reacting. MBAM is not and never was an anti-virus, as explained here: Does Malwarebytes Anti-Malware replace antivirus software? MBAM is a specialized anti-malware tool designed to run alongside a robust, real-time AV to provide complementary protection against certain types of mostly non-viral, zero-hour and zero-day malware that are not well targeted by standard AVs. MBAM Free is just a manual, on-demand scanner with no real-time protection. Even with MBAM Premium, you still need a robust AV, either free or paid. There are many fine options and MBAM should run just fine alongside all of them. Thanks again for your support, Edited July 9, 2016 by daledoc1 grammar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cain Posted July 9, 2016 Author ID:1050176 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I assumed MBAM was also an AV software, thank you for the info. Well, for years I also ran MS Security Essentials alongside MBAM. Now on Windows 10 MSSE has been rolled into the OS as Windows Defender. Sometimes MSSE would detect items MBAM missed, so perhaps I was doing it "right" without realizing it! :-) I assume Windows Defender/MS Secutity Essentials is an AV?
