I am disapointed in the forum members response to the Shuriken Heuristics Beta test

[Rednose]

Hi guys

I am realy disapointed in the forum members response to Marcin's request to test the Shuriken Heuristics Beta. I honestly expected much much more response as I see now. It is a realy simple test with no risk involved. So if you got an email with a request to test it, please do so

Greetz, Red.

Hi Red -

Any mail from Malwarebytes should be via internal PM and not Emails -

There are too many scam Emails around at the moment -

Thank You -

Hi noknojon

Well, I got an direct email, but maybe it is because I am no Honorary Member ( below the 50 posts required ), and subcribed as a Beta tester ?

This "Forum Deity" (like that carries any weight) stands to be corrected. Will no one from Malwarebytes post up to say that the email I (we) received from your company was not a scam?

I received the email, and tested the new modeule. However, as the email stated to post if we had any errors (rather than to post to report results), I did not post as I had no errors (on XP SP2, XP SP3 an Vista SP2).

I definitely plan to test it, unfortunately I haven't had the time yet.

Edit: I completed my test scan yesterday

I will however have time tomorrow and I shall be testing it then

As for what noknojon said, it is a good idea to be wary of certain types of emails, however, emails from Malwarebytes when you have signed up to get emails and/or have joined the beta testing program, are much more likely than not legit I think it would be pretty easy to tell if it was legit or not, personally.

I did not get an email, or PM but would be happy to test drive it if you all need me to.

Time is tight for testing at the moment

If you subscribed to these Malwarebytes' beta/Shuriken beta testing programs you will get an email. I have never had an email scam concerning MBAM

From the email I recieved:

Thank you for signing up for our beta testing program. You will receive e-mails periodically with beta versions of our products. You may unsubscribe at any time.

I also ran the Shuriken Beta test, but did not see a point in posting as nothing was found.

Were ZERO result scan logs requested? I don't remember seeing

[DarkSnakeKobra]

Can you still sign up? I wouldn't mind putting off some time to help out.

[mountaintree16]

Buttons & Firefox,

I'll be PMing you shortly

[DarkSnakeKobra]

@Mountaintree16-

Thanks Mountaintree16. Didn't realize you got a promotion.

[mountaintree16]

You're welcome.

I didn't get a promotion though, I'm just overly observant I guess

[DarkSnakeKobra]

Looks like you got a good eye.

[Firefox]

PM recieved, will test shortly....

[Firefox]

OK followed instructions, did a quick scan and a full scan.... no problems detected

They only requested you to post if your scan picked up something.
