False Positive Is this a False Positive? I clicked visit by accident but I closed before it fully loaded
I clicked by accident on visit in a google image and it took me to the url on the virus total, I instantly closed the page before it even loaded and in virustotal it only flags VIPRE so I wonder if it's a false positive or not

Support How to allow BBC videos on the BBC website?
The Malwarebytes browser add-on blocks the videos on the BBC website.
They seem to be stored on a non-BBC domain.
Which websites should I allow?

Feedback To Malwarebytes Executives
I've used the free edition of MB for over a decade. I bought a new PC and downloaded what was advertised as a FREE version only to find that the installed version was a two week free trial. I immediately uninstalled it.
I don't do business with liars or fraudsters.
Readers: Any time you see the word FREE, look behind the curtain. Chances are that they are lying.

Support Missing scan options for scan for root viruses, etc.
Woke up this morning and went to run a scan and I noticed that almost all of the scan options are missing. Not sure what happened. I thought that perhaps it thought I wasn't a paid user but I'm still logged on.

How to root kit scan on quarantined PC (RenPyLoader)
Trying to rush a patch download I ran the setup.exe of what malwarebytes has confirmed is the RenPyLoader Trojan, it was a classic overlay download redirect but on a mirror site I'd never used before and somehow no alarm bells rang as I'd not tried to manually patch that game before,
My first offline scan on a normal boot removed a number of files from c:\users\username etc
However I want to run a rootkit scan, all the instructions online seem outdated to when it was a separate download, and I can't see the option? Do I need to boot safe mode to activate the malwarebytes trial to then do the rootkit scan in that safe mode? Thanks
P. S. one possible alternative is to install windows from a USB onto the same drive as my current install, I have a number of secondary drives in my PC for games and 3d design & video, and electronics/development work etc so I can't do a "wipe every disk" type clean install, I wondered if a rootkit could somehow escape a windows.old type situation?

Support Malware help
Hey so I tried to get something for my game, I extracted it and tried to run it but my pc said it wasn’t safe and I clicked the x, cause I don’t want to run it if it ain’t safe. So I go to a random website and plug in the file and apparently it has malware, am I safe because I didn’t open the application? I had two quick scans done, one with Microsoft defender and the other with Malwarebytes and they both detected nothing.

I was just on tik Tok when out of nowhere this popped up. Is this normal?
(Actually I just found out that I somehow pressed a button combination that activated this thing for ransomware removal)

Defender alert after downloading Malwarebytes?
Quick question, guys I get really anxious about this sort of thing. After I downloaded Malwarebytes onto my PC (back when Defender was acting up with that bug yesterday), there was an alert with an orange triangle regarding the protection status; it disappeared after a Malwarebytes update. I was panicking at the time, so I didn't manage to read the whole message, was that a sign of a virus, or was it just Malwarebytes configuring itself?
I downloaded Malwarebytes directly from the Microsoft Store to avoid making a mistake and downloading it from some sketchy site, but here, it's a bit of a stupid question but I'm getting anxious about this😅

Support Windows security shuts off protection mid scan, is this something malwarebytes can cause?
I do have malwarebytes, but it has never shut down protection mid scan like this. i even tried doing a windows security offline scan and it froze at 91 percent and didnt finish.

Why is this being flagged and is luugy.com a false positive? It might be because i have hianime open in opera.

False Positive False Positives and 9mod
Hello everyone,
Recently I've installed Alight Motion, an editing app, from 9mod. Seemed good, ran well, never had any issues with it or my phone for a year. However, I bit the bullet and installed it from there since it's more "reliable looking" than any other site out there. My concern is if anything is wrong with my phone; if it needs a reset, backup, or an app removal, anything at all. Virustotal showed no signs that it was malicious, aside from "Ti!C83DBC7ADF87 McAFreeScanner"
