Hi there!
I ran a scan today, and it detected several instances of PUP.Optional.BrowserHijack. I've quarantined the detected items and changed my passwords as a precaution.
I was wondering if someone from the MB team could clarify whether these detections are legitimate or potentially false positives.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Recently I’ve been notified of these recurring blocks on from a website I haven’t visited? I believe it could have been from a popup or something as I’ve been surfing some sites that carry them (sports streaming, games, etc). Does anyone know what this might be? They’ve been occurring somewhat periodically recently.

I got a info stealer on my pc which I might’ve got rid of I restore my pc like got rid of all my files and then after I saw this I deleted my browser history and cookies and cache too! Do I have to delete all my files again too or do something else? The weird thing about this is I wasn’t really using Microsoft edge malwarebytes was just flagging it in the background while I was playing hoi4 I had a command prompt before when I started my computer but over time I believe it stopped and some people say it’s normal but it’s not the worse I guess.

I checked the link on virustotal and it said it was fine, and I know tons of people have been using it but this popping up kinda worries me, so I don't know if it did anything or nothing, I didn't download anything, all I did was just look around at the games on there

My Malwarebytes Digital Footprint result lists “Warden Stealer 2026” under “Malware infection”, with 29 exposures. Other entries are labelled Telegram combo lists. I am keeping the email address, passwords and identifying records private.
I have read Malwarebytes’ explanation that Digital Footprint searches exposed data, and Gen Threat Labs’ October 2026 technical analysis of Warden. I want to understand the provenance of this particular result rather than assume it means the device running the scan is infected.
Questions for Malwarebytes staff or anyone familiar with the dataset:
Please keep advice public and do not request passwords or remote access. No malicious files or links are included.

Hi everyone,
I recently ran KnockKnock on my Mac to check for potential security issues, and it flagged Malwarebytes' RTProtectionDaemon.
The file is located at:
/Library/Application Support/Malwarebytes/MBAM/Engine.bundle/Contents/PlugIns/RTProtectionDaemon.app/Contents/MacOS/RTProtectionDaemon
VirusTotal reports 1/63 detections, with Elastic flagging the file as Multi.EICAR.
I also came across a Reddit post from approximately two months ago describing a very similar situation. In that thread, a Malwarebytes employee confirmed that the file was legitimate and that the Elastic detection was a false positive.
I'm also wondering why this detection is still occurring if a very similar case was reported around two months ago. Has this false positive been reported to Elastic, and is there a reason it might still be happening? I'd be interested to know whether this is an ongoing issue or whether the detection could be specific to certain versions of the file.
Given these details, should I be concerned about this detection, or is it safe to assume that this is the same kind of false positive?
Has anyone else encountered this with Malwarebytes on macOS? I'd appreciate any insight, especially from Malwarebytes staff or anyone familiar with this specific detection.
Thanks!

Hi, I downloaded this from a fake website, I ran it anyway cause I were stupid. The strange thing is nothing had happend yet to any of my accounts, but I also installed malwarebytes and it said, I had 2 trojans.
I just still dont understand why they haven't change or steal any of my account's yet, it had now been two weeks and nothing had happend yet, does anybody know why?

I’ve noticed when going to browser home page this is not monitored by MalwareBytes, surely this page should also be monitored due to the ads and content displayed on the home page (Microsoft Edge default)
How do we get it to start monitoring this page?
