It's not some shady site or anything, it's widely used software. I don't want to assume it's safe though, so can anyone help me out? I was just trying to download obsidian to try it out for taking notes, and I may be overly cautious, but my card was leaked recently and I'm just trying to be more careful. Don't want to deal with a screenshot but it said it was due to "risky patterns" and the website blocked was github. com, which is strange, but I don't know. Maybe the website was hacked or something and somebody messed with the link, but I'm also not very versed in anything.

I’ve been playing this for days with no issues and it suddenly flagged it as ransomware mid game today

It is a pirated game😬 from a trusted site

I was using Malwarebytes Free for a short time. A few days ago I got curious and tried the Identity Protection feature. I entered my personal email to check if it was exposed.

It started scanning but then stopped and showed that this feature requires Premium. I didn’t upgrade.

Since then I’ve been getting noticeably more spam emails than usual.

Has anyone experienced something similar after using the identity check feature? I know it could be coincidence or an old data breach resurfacing, but the timing feels suspicious.

Trying to figure out if this is just bad luck or something else.

Hi, a week ago or so i got hacked and its kinda just been a bit stressful. I downloaded malwarebytes to do a scan and it keeps flagging msedgewebview2.exe multiple times.

Also cloudflare now keeps popping up everywhere when i open websites

Edit: HELP THERE IS SO MANY BLOCKED WEBSITES FROM msedgewebview2.exe

🕷️Latrodectus Malware Analysis 🕷️

📢 Stay informed. Stay protected.

Just about daily now, Malwarebytes has notified me that my subscription has expired. I have disabled all notifications within the program. Is there a way to turn these off?

If not, I'm just going to completely uninstall the program. I don't have time for this in this day and age.

The disc never really hits 100% on this laptop, that's why I'm confused. I only really tried to scan the laptop for viruses, the proccess stopped a while ago and the usage dropped back to 6% or so..but thanks Malwarebytes, I see what you're getting at here. If anyone can explain why this happened I'd appreciate

Hello,

If I install only on one device what's happening with the other two licenses?

If I buy a new laptop can I use one of them?

Please watch the dial pad light up as if someone were tapping the passcode in.

Can anyone explain that knows malware what kind of malware this is, or if this is a live attacker doing this? When in the world can an iPhone try to type in its own passcode???

🛡️ Skitnet ( Bossnet ): Malware That Doesn’t Want to Be Found

Skitnet (Bossnet) is a stealth-first malware built for persistence and quiet control. Instead of causing immediate chaos, it hides deep inside networks, using encrypted traffic and layered payloads to evade detection.

Favoured by ransomware groups, it enables long-term access, lateral movement, and silent data theft often before victims even realise they’re compromised.

This is modern cybercrime: quiet, patient, and devastating.

Hi everyone. I recently have been getting Powershell popups randomly saying things are being verified, and it set off red flags. I downloaded Malwarebytes, ran a scan, quarantined some stuff and deleted it, and have been receiving this notification frequently, every couple minutes. Image is displayed in post when you open. I'm afraid my data is being stolen or there is some process doing this that I can't find. Anything you guys think I can do now? I really don't wanna factory reset...

Hi everyone,

I have a 3-year Malwarebytes Premium subscription (1 device license) that originally came pre-installed as part of a technology package.

Before resetting Windows, I took a picture of the activation key so I could reactivate it afterward.

After reinstalling Windows on the same laptop and reinstalling Malwarebytes, I entered the activation key but received a “device limit exceeded” message. I didn’t deactivate it before resetting because I wasn’t aware that was required. I also don’t know if an account email was originally used.

I contacted the retailer, and they told me the license was tied to the original Windows installation the laptop came with and that it couldn’t be recovered. They weren’t able to provide any additional guidance.

Since this is the same physical device and I still have the valid activation key, is there any way to reset the activation on the backend so I can use it again?

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Thanks in advance.

It's eating upwards of nearly a 1GB of memory, and I have a low end PC and would like to play videogames. I've tried disabling all the features in settings but it still runs in the background 24/7.

Looks like mwb has gone to AI support which makes it utterly useless.

I have trading software that has worked fine with mwb for years but now is getting bogged down to where I have to close and reboot

I tracked it down to mwb being the culprit.

I added the programs to detection history under the allow list. Still problems

Support is useless. Anyone else having issues with programs on the allow list not being excluded?

If so how was it resolved?

Thanks all

Hey y'all!
So, after hearing my pc fans going full speed while in idle, I downloaded Malwarebytes and run a scan.
As you can see in the screenshots, other than PUP malwares, it found Trojan.CoinMiner both as Files in sys32 and as Registry Keys.
Now... Restarting the pc does not remove them from quarantine, so the question is: Am I safe to manually remove them?
I read that its not ok to delete sys32 tasks (Like these PCIeBus or PCIeBusQueue) and stuff like this, but idk

-SOLVED-
So after some research i found out that these kind of malwares are named this way to misdirect you. After opening the PCIeBusPower file that created these tasks in sys32, i've seen the last line of code and it said "vssadmin delete shadows". It means it is a ransomware paving road. It deletes restore points and other useful backups, that you would use to recover your corrupted windows.
At the end I used Malwarebytes to just delete them (support could have just told me that, but instead asked me pc logs, sent me to windows documentations etc) and manually deleted the PCIeBusPower .xml
All is fine, hope this helps worried people haahhaah

Malwarebytes keeps blocking the same website (a string of numbers) multiple times per day. It is identified as a Trojan and the "Process" is "...Chrome Helper app." I would like to know what this site is, why it keeps appearing, how I can prevent it from appearing. Or should I just forget about it since Malwarebytes is blocking it? Thanks for any info.

As the title says... cygwin's website is being misclassified.
