You TWIT.
I came here to get help figuring out how to do just that. What kind of twit are you ? You can drive a car but you cannot drive a grader ? They both have wheels and controls. Come on you twit, get in the grader and drive it. (Oh yes, what the heck do all those knobs do ??? They have no understandable icons or writing even) |

Those knobs are for people like you with small brains to keep pressing them. You might have seen little toddlers like to press round coloured knobs and that is what software makers do these days.

It tells you all sorts of bad stuff is on your computer. But to use it properly you need to ignore its reports. I tried it once. It told me I had 10 grave dangers. Several were Registry settings I wanted. Several were harmless Registry settings. One was my BootIt imaging software, which MB wanted to eliminate as malware. MB didn't screw up my system only because I understood the items it was listing. Most people won't. And there's no explanation. Just melodrama. But why are you using it and why are you allowing it to take unilateral action in the first place? No matter how much you trust security software, you should never allow it to make decisions about things it claims are malware. |

Other than kill malwarebytes ! That's upto you. Addendum: From: MID: http://software-reviews.com/review?id=3 Overview Malwarebytes Antimalware (MBAM) is a world-renowned antimalware brand, and rightfully so. The software is stable and protects from most types of malware circulating in the wild today. Scans are quite fast and the interface is user-friendly. However, there are a couple of issues that have prevented us from placing this software at the top of our rating. Unfortunately, with the latest MBAM version released, the number of user complaints grew dramatically. I added two additional newsgroups to my reply as I feel due to the nature of the software being discussed, it's appropriate. It *does* have a freeware version, so it's on topic for alt.comp.freeware as well. And, why hide these wonderful detection stats from potential and current users? [g] Effectiveness The program has its own criteria for detecting software as potentially unwanted, and unfortunately those criteria appear to be too broad now, as the program produced over a dozen false positives in our tests. Getting the incorrect PUA detects added to exclusions proved to be a challenge and did not work for a couple of programs at all. Another thing we noticed was the fact that MBAM did not detect quite a few older malware samples in our tests, which amounted to about 40% of the malware the test system was infected with. Regardless, it remains a very useful tool for malware removal. A 60% detection rating isn't good. Especially for something that boldly claims it can replace your Antivirus program, outright. I suspect they'd fair even worse if tested using the same sample sets various antivirus products are ran against. Those antivirus programs manage to score themselves a consistent 100% rating, too. It remains a semi useful tool for non resident scanning and removal of potential malware. But, you'll have to babysit it in the sense you'll have to double check it's reports before you let it take action. Due to it's growing list of false positives. Evidently, one or more researchers needs a crash course in how not to create definitions...Alas, this is one of the things which happens when you have non programmers playing the role of malware researcher. Features Malwarebytes offers the standard on-demand scanning functionality in the free version, with advanced features, such as automatic scans and real-time protection offered in the paid version. The software's officially admitted feature is the fact that it does not scan for malware that MBAM users haven't met in a while. So, for instance, if a malicious program hasn't been detected via Malwarebytes scans in an extended period of time, it will be removed from the databases and the program will not scan for it anymore. It may help the scans go faster, but makes some users, including us, a bit concerned. An engine database end redesign would make that culling much much less frequent, if necessary at all. You'd think when it was ported from visual basic to C++, that would have been addressed. Someone evidently mistakenly thought that porting it alone would address the speed issue they were experiencing. Er, nope. Bad engine design in so far as the database goes is the culprit. The longer it takes them to reach that conclusion on their own, the more difficult it'll be to take corrective action. Unless you think culling is a smart thing to be doing. -- To prevent yourself from being a victim of cyber stalking, it's highly recommended you visit he https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php ================================================== = Mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence |

ditch it,,, Clam win picks up on that type of problem, but it gives
you an option to include it or not. We never delete what is used and what we want in our machine. Try the no virus thanks malware remover. It does not do that what you have said. And leaves your machine pretty clean from malware. On 5/8/2018 9:58 AM, aiole scribbled: Just updated Malwarebytes to latest. Malwarebytes is NOW MALWARE ! It keeps killing apps that I wrote.
