Will Malwarebytes flagged .cuba files or pones.exe and krots.exe

[Tragge]

Hello, 

 

I just need to confirm that Malwarebytes will flag these.

 

Thanks,

If you are using the Premium (paid) Version then yes it should.

But the main protection is you.  Do not open attachments in email or click links in email unless you are absoultly sure and were expecting it.

Thank you

 

Is there a way to access the virus definitions to review in the premium version?

The definition databases are encrypted due to past database theft.

I would also suggest if you have not done already is change (turn off) the following setting in Malwarebytes to re-enable Windows Defender to run alongside with Malwarebytes. This will increase your overall protection.

Also be sure you Malwarebytes is up to date. Current version is 4.5.2

One thing to add, is if you believe you do have to open that attachment, upload it to VirusTotal to have the file checked to see if its malicious.

But as already mentioned you are the first line of defense... if your not expecting the file and don't know what it is, don't open it.
