That goes for basically any of the top anti-virus or anti-malware
programs out there, but you seem to be singling MBAM out.
I don't give my anti-virus or anti-malware permission to do any
deletions automatically, but I do want them to warn me. My anti-virus
will attempt to stop the install or download and warn me.




Methinks Mayayana is a mite paranoid :-))

"Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they _aren't_ out to get
you" ... (-:

I think Mayayana's reaction is because, as he has said - and I'd agree -
many on here _do_ seem to suggest it as the first thing to run when
there is any sign of possible malware, to the extent that the
_impression_ is given that it is something beyond just another AV (or
whatever) type resource. (If it _is_, perhaps it would clear the air a
bit if some would give an updated explanation of _how_ it differs from
all the rest.)

Perhaps Charlie+'s revelation that the current free MBAM user interface
has been dumbed down. Charlie+, can the version you're using still be
downloaded (and made to work with the latest signature files or whatever
they're called)?
