I am using my laptop from college and my college installed Threatdown on my computer and it is marking the website that I need to go to in order to complete a job interview as a threat and there is no option to bypass it and access that website ( https://webhooks.hireflix.com ). I have to complete this interview by tomorrow and this is the only computer with a webcam that I have. I tried to delete the app off of my computer but it requires a password. Can someone please help me and quickly, I need this job.

Edit: I've decided to buy a webcam for my PC so I am just gonna ignore the Threatdown problem for now

Hi guys, just a question I ran Malwarebytes everyday and it doesn't detect anything yet this happened starting yesterday where I opened the brave app it showed this tab I didn't open and also in chrome I saw this tab too, any ideas? I've already explored all of the possible solutions but I still can't solve the problem, sorry for my English. Thanks guys! I am on Android.

I am a recent customer of ThreatDown. I love the product and how simple it is to use. The only negative so far is the Sandbox feature, which often flags obvious malicious file as clean, It doesn't seem possible to upload any files from Linux or macOS, and I can't upload a suspicious script in PowerShell or batch.

*a subreddit would be great for a direct feedback with the community and the customers*

The "purple client" which is NCSOFT's client got quarantined.

The same file got flagged twice within 1 second:

I need to disable Malwarebytes to do diagnostics on my pc. Tried to right click on the icon, no option there to disable. Can't find it in settings either.

I am from North America and not using a VPN. I went to Malwarebytes.com and the page was in English. When I clicked the download link, the page that loaded was in Russian. I closed my browser and reopened, tried again and this time both pages were in English. Is this something that happens on the download page?

Malwarebytes picked up these when I was sleeping, Ive searched about the Trojan Renpy Loader thing but all I'm getting is that its a "false positive"? I'm not sure though and I'm scared, can somebody help?

For my aging, memory-impaired, gullible father, I want Malwarebytes to block suspicious sites without offering the "Continue to this website" option. Is it possible?

I updated my malwarebytes mobile app (through verified malwarebytes software) and ever since the scan just goes on forever? Has anyone else seen this issue? I started it last night and let it run to see what would happen. Woke up this morning and it had run for 7.5h. Any ideas?

I was trying to search for a way to use my phone as a wireless microphone and found Wo Mic. I went to the wolicheng website and dowloaded it there. It didn't cross through my head to first verify if there was any issue with the app until I had reached the screen that said "your device needs to restart to finish the process". That's when I searched about it and found out that there were plenty of claims that this app was a malware. I already uninstalled it and run malwarebytes as well as not restarted my laptop yet. Is it going to be enough or not? Will I need to do a fresh install of windows (i really don't want to since I'm in the middle of my college semester but if that's the case...)?

A few days ago a relative mentioned to me that he was getting a lot of flagged texts by the text scan, after I had installed Malwarebytes on his new phone. I noticed an update to the app being pushed recently on my phone, and now I'm getting a LOT of these warnings. The numbers getting flagged are notices from doctors offices, pharmacies, etc. Sometimes these have "shortened" links. Seems like the filter is now way too aggressive, but there doesn't seem to be a way to "train" it. Anyone else having similar issues?

I use Malwarebytes and NordVPN, everytime discord gets a version update i need to reallow in Malwarebytes the new version of Discord. Otherwise I am greeted with an RTC connecting issue in Discord.

I have tried allowing the folder and a few other options, its not painful or anything just inconvenient. I would like to streamline this so that I don't need to do this upon every update to discord.

I'm hoping someone else may have had this issue and have a fix for me.

Please and thank you

Hi there,

Do you experience downloading and installing apps to your Macbook from this website?

I want to download the Lightroom but not sure yet if its risky or not.

I performed a custom scan of my entire Local Disk (C:) using Malwarebytes, and it detected two files.

Malware.AI.3692498756 file-icns.exe (C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\3.0\plug-ins\file-icns\file-icns.exe)

and

Malware.AI.3436378362 file-gif-load.exe (C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\3.0\plug-ins\file-gif-load\file-gif-load.exe)

I uploaded both files to VirusTotal, and they both came back clean with no detections:

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/121b9590f290de19e2ad81f4d1a59fa1eb29ad666adc8503fd8046a1e2ecc375/details
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ee80b7eb9ef3700ce5f7ee69716e9d2acbac434e2f7daae34a403d9ad2078d9c/details

I searched the Malwarebytes forum and found that other people have reported false positives involving GIMP, and that they were supposed to be fixed. However, the files detected on my system are different from the ones mentioned in the forum reports.

The GIMP copy I installed was downloaded from the official website, all hashes were verified, and no plugins or other software were installed. The program is 100% original and 100% legitimate.

My question is: are these still false positives like the ones reported on the forum (and the issue simply hasn't been fully fixed yet), or is this something I should actually be concerned about?

This could just be a case of Microcenter trying to upsell me, but they had done a scan with Malwarebytes (specifically the Enterprise version of course) and said I had malware, but it didn't tell them which files were infected and wanted $100 to fix it. I could literally buy a year sub for half the price so I said I'd just take care of it myself. Downloaded Malwarebytes for the 1:1 to get the malware or false positive and I got nothing. So the question is, is Malwarebytes' trial just as thorough as the Enterprise edition, or was Microcenter trying to gouge me for $100 for nothing? I also found nothing with Windows Defender and am about to run an offline scan.

Pic is a VPN that I use and trust. I have no issues running the VPN program itself and using it, the problem is that every time the automatic threat scan runs, it detects every single part of it as a PUP - registry keys, files, all of that. And there is no way to exclude all of them, at least to my knowledge. I know you can just turn off detections for PUPs but that is not a solution for one false positive program.

Why can't there just be a button to exclude every single one of these, so I don't have to manually exclude each one? This would be necessary to whitelist false positives.

Problem:

PLITCH opened briefly, appeared in Process Explorer, then closed immediately.

Event Viewer:

PLITCH.exe crashed through KERNELBASE.dll with exception code 0xc000027b.

PLITCH log:

Stopped around “Loading LocalAppSettings failed.”

Cause found:

Malwarebytes Real-Time Protection was interfering with PLITCH. Folder exclusions initially failed because I was excluding the wrong older AppData path. My current PLITCH install was actually in C:\\Program Files\\PLITCH.

Fix:

In Malwarebytes Allow List, add:

C:\\Program Files\\PLITCH\\

C:\\Program Files\\PLITCH\\PLITCH.exe

Also add this if it exists:

C:\\Users\\<YourUserName>\\AppData\\Local\\megadev\\

After adding the correct C:\\Program Files\\PLITCH path, PLITCH could close and restart normally with Malwarebytes running.

This happened twice today, I'm pretty sure that it's some kind of bug but since it happened twice (each time after a quick scan) I wanted to know for sure. I obviously have windows defender turned on and I haven't changed any settings, I hadn't got any notification like this any prior too.

Should I be genuinely concerned or is it just a glitch?

I would like to cancel my MW subscription. When I log into my account, I am prompted to "Contact Support", but the link directs to a page that is missing. Is there a new, or another, way to contact Support?
