bbotzong Posted September 11, 2019 ID:1334223 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I received an email from malwarebytes inviting me to participate in a Beta. I downloaded the file (mbsetup.exe), but then was taken to another website (cross web-site linking) which makes me uncomfortable. Even though MalwareBytes is in the url, the underlying site is box.com. IS THIS LEGIT?? Can I trust mbsetup.exe???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erix Posted September 11, 2019 ID:1334226 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hello bbotzong, Thank you so much for your post. We did send out yesterday an invite to email addresses previously signed up for the Beta program. So just to make sure. Could you post here the exe file so we can check its hash (and properties) and if you could PM us a copy of the contents of the email that would help as well. please let us know.

bbotzong Posted September 11, 2019 Author ID:1334228 Share Posted September 11, 2019 OK. Maybe you can include the cross site scripting info in the invitation next time... Hope you understand why I was concerned... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
