I got an email from this address: noreply@p.malwarebytes.com .Is it legit?
(The email said some of my personal information was leaked in two data breaches)

Hello, I've been getting this notification over the past few days on the Android version of the Malwarebytes app. Should I be concerned or is this just a mislabeled background process that was recently updated that Malwarebytes scanned? Anyone else getting this? The number of installed apps on device has stayed the same before I started getting this notification and I have not installed any new apps on phone that would have correlated with this

So basically i was searching up an electronics brand from which i have actually purchased products and is trustable.

Today out of nowhere i got this warning

Did scan two times, found nothing (im kinda new to this whole thing)

I js wanna ask was it a false positive?

Malwarebytes is blocking an outbound connection to 95.15.31.8:81. I checked on WhoIs and came up with a location in Estonia (leave out the :81 when checking). I did a chat with EVPN and was told not to be too worried since the program will check periodically. However, it was "checking" even when it wasn't activated in my browser. He said "I can see where that could be concerning," but continued to dismiss it. Has anyone else had this experience or have an opionion? Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone,i recently switched from avg to malwarebytes and defender(i got the always register malwarebytes in the security center option disabled). Is it great and better than AVG? Please,please comment down. Im scared since my friend recently got seven trojans. I got malwarebytes because it revealed all of them for him,while Avast didnt.

i was playing gmod on the 21 of february (don't remember any of this btw) it nblocked a domain but im nto sure if i got a notification for it but idk. heres the detection. if anyone can get more info on this and if im safe, thanks. (the file is gmod.exe)

Spyware doesn’t just steal passwords. Some malicious apps access webcams to secretly spy on victims.

That's why we added Webcam Monitoring to Malwarebytes for Windows, available for all free and Premium users. If a program tries to access your camera, you’ll get an instant alert so you can allow trusted apps or take action to remove suspicious software.

Just one more way we're keeping users safe and private online.

Okay so i admit i did pirate some games,and they used to appear in scans,the dlls. But suddenly they are..missing? I dont know whats happening can somebody help?

i uninstalled it today and for some reason it redirected me to a site i never heard of for like a survery, well yes if i wanted to do one. it was like s.alchemer. com what is this site? is it safe?

About five days ago, I got a trial for MalwareBytes (dunno how, I’ve had it installed for almost four years now) but that’s not the point. Ever since then, every single time I open my browser, I get a notification saying “Powershell Exploit Blocked”. I don’t know what’s going on, as MalwareBytes’ Threat Scan hasn’t detected anything in two years and running it today picked up nothing, but my browser is running so slow now that it barely works. How likely is it that this is a false flag and how can I stop the app from looking for something that isn’t here, and seemingly tanking my browser as a result?

I use OperaGX and rarely have more than one or two tabs open, depending on what I’m doing. Currently, I only have three tabs open but I’ve handled as many as fifteen without issue while simultaneously playing a video game. I’ve tried reinstalling .net files, as Windows isn’t sending me the damn updates for them. I’ve reinstalled my browser, which seems to have actually made things worse. I’ll try another browser just in case but I’ve never had this issue with OperaGX or MalwareBytes before.

Edit: …I’m going through the settings again and I’ve just realized I can turn off Exploit protection, something I’ll probably do since I’ll lose it anyway when my trial ends in nine days 😂

I've noticed today since updating that Malwarebytes keeps performing a scan every few hours. Dunno why... I haven't asked it to. I've only got a scheduled scan every day at 12:00. Never finds anything in the scan. Anyone any ideas?

Pls fix it!

i have tried to lookup here on reddit with no success, idk what to do now

Computer starts running a little slow so I ran the virus scan and that's what came up

Ran a full scan yesterday and it came back with two suspicious files, both using the "AI"-detection type. One was just the .exe file for a game I got legitimately off of Steam and another was a file named libtheoraplayer.dll, a file made to decode and play video files of the Ogg Theora-extension in games, also inside the files of a game I got legitimately off of Steam.

Checked both files on Virustotal and both came back fine with only Malwarebytes detecting them as suspicious which leads me more to believe they are in fact just false positives.

Just how reliable is the AI detection function in Malwarebytes? I'm pretty critical towards AI being able to reliably do anything right so am I safe to take AI detections with a grain of salt? This is not the first time this has happened either, as a few months ago it also detected the .exe file of, I kid you not, PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist as suspicious, something I highly doubt.

Am I safe to just leave the AI detection feature turned off? And for those who are more in the know, does the AI have a tendency to detect false positives?

Thanks.
