O.T. Malwarebytes:
I'm still not following you,.. with the
4-in-1 card reader? This is my front panel of the 8500: ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-produ...nual_en-us.pdf As I said I use an external USB stick for the SD but it still doesn't explain the malwarebytes problem or their explanation for it. Robert |

Robert There is a connector on the motherboard, F_USB1. You can use your manual, use the Acrobat search function, and find references to it. Unplugging the cable (2x5 female) from the F_USB1 male header, will disable the media card reader, and the four volumes will disappear in File Explorer. And Malwarebytes will be happy again. I don't know exactly what the cable looks like, or where it's tucked in, but the manual has a diagram showing which connector the Dell assembler plugs it into. They could use any unused USB2 header for this if they wanted. But it should be item #19 in this diagram. There's nothing magical about #19, it's just a USB2 port. https://i.postimg.cc/GtkL7wP5/card-r...to-disable.gif If the cable is swinging loose, you can dress the cable with a twist tie or two, to keep it out of the way. You can also put a sticky label on it, identifying what the cable is for, so you'll know which cable if you need to put it back for some reason. Dell may have already put a label on it. I unplug and disassemble stuff all the time, to improve airflow, prevent items from being used, and so on. I have lots of cables dangling down :-) Paul |

I hated opening up the 8500 for this
but I did it and unplugged the F-USB1. Then I ran malwarebytes and no pop-up! Thanks! Robert |

As long as you label the cable "card reader - F_USB1" or something, you'll be able to figure it out later. I'm glad that Malwarebytes reacted properly and didn't throw a hissy fit :-) You know how computers are - so illogical at times. Paul |
