pacman Posted May 22, 2021 ID:1458545 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Recently MB has been detecting numerous threats. I have immediately quarantined them but would like to know where they came from so that I can avoid these sources of infection. MB lists the threats with names which mean nothing to me. Each time I have to thrash around the internet searching for the names, generally unsuccessfully. Clearly, I can ask MB's superb support service each time but wondered if MB could give me hint each time by automatically including in the listing of the threat a list of its possible sources, e.g. "infected" websites or software. Or is this technically impossible ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find Scan and Protection logs within the Malwarebytes 4 program in the following location RTP stands for Real-Time Protection and is where automatic protection operations would normally be logged If you click on the View option you should get something similar to the following with other options available.

pacman Posted May 23, 2021 Author ID:1458785 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Thanks very much for this reply. Exported the list to TXT (attached). By the way, I noticed when going through the list that it says Rootkits are not included in the scan. In the Scan options rootkits are checked ON (i.e. included). Curious.

Porthos Posted May 23, 2021 ID:1458805 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I am going to move your topic to the FP section. 3 hours ago, pacman said: By the way, I noticed when going through the list that it says Rootkits are not included in the scan.
