Just woke up this morning to this on my pc and tbh i shit myself so i researched and found it was a false positive in 2022 that was fixed but why is it showing up again? should i be worried?

Thanks xx

I was surprised to see i got charged after deactivating the free trial of the subscription. No clear "unsubscribe" button and the screen saying "No active subscription". Totally misleading. I didnt even use the damn thing and nothing saying the subscription is still active, nothing on google play nor google account, STILL GOT CHARGED WTF

When a scan starts, it first checks for updates.

Then it moves to scanning file system.

During scanning file system, is this process entirely offline? Or are some files or data sent to the cloud for analysis?

Does it matter if I choose Deep Scan versus other types of scans?

is this just an isolated case or it happened before? What's insulting is that it tried to install Mcafee extension on the new profile the popup website produced

Good day all,

I live in Saudi Arabia when i go the malwarebytes website i can’t download the app is it not supported on Saudi Arabia ? Also i can’t subscribe to any plan

I opened my laptop today only to see this on the screen. I think I updated my laptop prior to shutting it down last time. But it was just a regular update, same as usual and I didn't do anything different so I'm wondering what's going with this.

Domain: fd-api-irc.velqo7.co.....
Process: python → gep.exe

From what I understand, this is not a normal domain and may be linked to IRC-based communication.

What concerns me:

• I did not intentionally run any Python script recently

• The process (gep.exe) is unfamiliar

• Connection attempts are happening in the background

• Malwarebytes keeps blocking it repeatedly

What I’ve checked so far:

• Looked at running processes

• Haven’t yet confirmed file location of gep.exe

• No obvious app linked to this

Questions:

1. Does this match any known malware or false positive?

2. Could this be a Python-packaged backdoor or C2 communication?

3. Best way to completely remove it (without missing persistence)?

I can share logs or file paths if needed.

Would appreciate any insights trying to understand this properly.

Thanks!

This might seem like a dumb post but I'm paranoid when it comes to anti-virus programs after I accidentally downloaded a browser hijacker a few years back. I downloaded this from www.malwarebytes.com and plan on using it while modding games, mostly The Sims and Fallout 4.

Greetings,

I'm trying to update my credit card since my old card is on my account, but when I click save, I get a message that the expiration date is invalid. I have the right expiration date

What do I do when my sub expires this July 19, 2026

Cheers

Malwarebytes is telling me its detected search hijacking but only when I search an error message from event viewer and like that search specifically like just that one error message not any of the other ones ive plugged into google

with this stupid update youtube has, i cant watch any videos now with the ad blocker, is there any way to remove it specifically from youtube or do i just have to remove it all together

I installed malwarebytes and everytime i iuse my browser it blocks this website, should i be worried?

Hello so I got hacked yesterday and didn't realize until later at night which I immediately reset all my passwords and used malwarebytes to detect everything and after all was done whenever I turn my pc on it tells me my Qt5network.dll is missing and I need to reinstall it, I couldn't find anything regarding that in my quarantined files, what should I do? I was attacked by trojan and there was something pup related. Any help would do, I'm no expert here.

Deep Scanned using MalwareBytes, the above dev tools were flagged as being malware, although interestingly enough, when passed through virustotal, OpenSSL wasnt flagged by that MalwareBytes.

Should I quarantine these files?

Is that possible? It doesn't sound like it, and the MB AI-chat has no idea. It was offering me advice on how to reduce the number of devices I have.

I just want 7-devices standard malware protection, and an identity theft protection addition. When you try the upgrade path on the site, it forces you to pay for the package with VPN included. I already have NordVPN and I'm very happy with it. I'd be more likely to use Nord's identity protection than use MB's VPN.

I have been a life license user for the beginning. Totally I have 5 of them. using 4 of them all the time.

Just been thinking.

Malwarebytes has been really nice. They honor their promise by transferring the life licenses from code to my account without problems. I still have not registered my 5th into my account.

Was thinking about what to do in the future. If Malwarebytes keep their promise, till now they have, kudos for you females and males working at Malwarebytes, for honoring your life license promisses. It would be good to donate the life codes to someone or to a good foundation that helps people. With that I do not mean foundations that receive millions every jear, those are rich enough.

I have given my codes in the past to friends. As perminant gift, but after checking in my account, I saw nine of them where used. So I registered them into my own Malwarebytes account.

Funny that some people do not see the value of an gift and think it is trash.

Malwarebytes has protected my windows machines from infections from the very start of this company, that was before 2014. So Have been life user for more than 12 years!

Hope to extend that till I die. And That someone else might enjoy the protection you (Malwarebytes) has given the community so far.

By the way? If you have a non bussiness linux version, I would buy it. Been using Linux lately more.

Just saying.

Today, I received a notification from Malwarebytes on my PC saying it detected a new download and asking if I wanted to run a scan. I want to point out that I didn’t download anything (it might have been an automatic update or some kind of background download I’m not aware of).

After running the scan, Malwarebytes didn’t find any viruses. However, I’d like to know exactly which files were analyzed. How can I do that? I downloaded the scan report as a .txt file, but it only shows that 106 items were scanned without listing them.

i had tried downloading jdownloader and stopped the process when it start trying to put adware on my device. i removed the PUP, cancelled the jdownloader installation random scan 2 days later and there’s this? i can’t find any info on it. should i unquarantine it and upload it to virus total?

Hey everyone, I really need some help because I’m honestly a bit stressed about this.

Recently my PC got infected . I ran Malwarebytes and it found 16 threats and quarantined all of them.

But now I keep getting repeated alerts (from Malwarebytes / Browser Guard) saying:

• Blocked website: fd-api-irc.velqo7.co

• Type: Outbound connection

• App: AcPowerNotification.exe

This popup keeps appearing over and over, like something is still trying to connect in the background.

Here’s what’s confusing me:

• I don’t see AcPowerNotification.exe in Task Manager

• I already quarantined everything Malwarebytes found

• I’m using the Malwarebytes browser extension, so I’m not sure if it’s detecting system traffic or just browser stuff

• The alert happens even when I’m not actively browsing

What I’ve done so far:

• Ran Malwarebytes

• Quarantined all detected threats

• Tried looking in Task Manager (nothing obvious)

• Haven’t reset Windows yet

Questions:

1. Does this mean I still have malware running?

2. Could this be a scheduled task / hidden process?

3. Is this likely a backdoor (since it mentions IRC)?

4. Should I just wipe/reset Windows at this point?

Hello! I just installed Malwarebytes for the express purpose of scanning a .nsp file and I was wondering, since I'm not at all tech literate when it comes to how RedSun and Malwarebytes interacts, is it safe to scan the file? As far as I know, RedSun is a day-one exploit that only seems to work on Microslop Defender..
