NabeelMansoor Posted April 2, 2020 ID:1370351 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Hi, I would like to know if Malwarebytes has a plan on incorporating a Spam plugin for Outlook? Like web protection and browser protection components, it would be great if a Mail Protection module can be added to filter unsolicited/Spam/Malware mails. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NabeelMansoor Posted April 2, 2020 Author ID:1370369 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I have been receiving quite a number of attachments with the .ace extension which are classed as malware by Virustotal. Attached is one of them. Malwarebytes does not detect this. Thanks in advance Purchase OrderPO003220_2.zip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted April 2, 2020 Root Admin ID:1370374 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Yes, this is an infected file. Due to some issues with the .ace archive many tools have stopped supporting it as well. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/85ad2f4e630cc8794924c4af6aa95c81d41ec456297df9547ea89b50b0c6075d/detection I'd certainly look into whom you're getting your email from. All the major email providers already scan all mail for infections and most also filter for at least some level of spam. Perhaps you may want to post in the malware removal forum to allow someone help you scan your system Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile360 Posted April 2, 2020 ID:1370473 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Regarding .ACE archives/files, they are no longer supported in the most recent versions of WinRAR due to the known vulnerability with .ACE archives/executables so you should be safe as long as you keep WinRAR up to date (and of course don't open files that you aren't confident where they came from and whether they're safe).

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted April 2, 2020 Root Admin ID:1370477 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The concern is - what if some threat is using them as a means of extraction to bypass mail scanners. In this case it obviously passed whatever mail system was used but is odd as even Windows Defender on Windows 7 quarantined the file once I extracted it. I had to disable Windows Defender to extract it. While we're on the subject of staying safe I'll go ahead and post the following information which will also go a long way in helping one to stay safe with the computer If you're not backing up your data and you're still using Google Chrome then you're just not serious about Privacy, Safety, and protecting your data. Malwarebytes is a fantastic program but you still need to back up your data and you still need to block scripts and Ads in your browser. If you're still using Google Chrome I would highly suggest you consider using Firefox instead. For more advanced users you might consider installing NoScript as well (it does have a higher learning curve though) PrivacyTools - Encryption, and tools to protect against global mass surveillance - https://www.privacytools.io Help Secure your browsers You may be interested in using our new Malwarebytes Browser Guard to help protect your browser from items that uBlock or others don't target.

NabeelMansoor Posted April 3, 2020 Author ID:1370541 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Thanks @exile360 - I do make sure to have the latest versions of the products installed. Thanks @AdvancedSetup - your reply was most enlightening - I have Firefox installed with MB Browser Guard - It has worked excellently with it. What backup do you recommend - at present my important documents/files are on Google Drive - Is there a good backup software or website you can recommend me? Many thanks team wishing you both and your families safety and well-being during this crisis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted April 3, 2020 Root Admin ID:1370563 Share Posted April 3, 2020 This link above discusses data bakups back up your data AOMEI Backupper - Probably the best FREE version for the average home user Acronis True Image Probably the best PAID version for the average home user I would also advise more than one backup media. More than a few users having learned the hard way that when they went to do a restore their backup failed for one reason or another.
