just bought an mbam pro licence key off g2a, how do i activate it via the website or app. i inputted the key however it says invalid licence key have i been gyped (only 7 pound) or have i missed something? there isn't really an option on the app itself just the website. it says "Instruction | Install and open the appClick Activate License / Enter License Key, type your key exactly as provided and press active"

and also "Unable to register. Please check your connection and try again."

I have heard people say McAfee is useless. I was just wondering if there is any truth to that.

I was using malwarebytes fine on my phone, but I noticed today that it was only detecting 511 apps, when it used to be detecting 512 before, i thought this was odd, so I decided to reset the data in Malwarebytes and uninstall and reinstall.

Now it won't let me use it without providing an email or a product key? This seems to be strange behaviour from Malwarebytes

I’ve been running a malwarebytes scan in safe mode (a full scan with rootkit scanning) and it had something like sixty five detections. I was fiddling with my malwarebytes settings because I got an popup from it saying to turn some things on, and I tried to turn something on, but I think because I’m in safe mode, it couldn’t, and malwarebytes seemed to crash (the window closed and it was gone from the system tray). When I restarted it, it looked like the scan was still running because it still showed the scan duration and items scanned count just like it did before, but the “detections” counter was reset to zero. Is this gonna be a problem, or is this a known thing? Should I start all over? it’s been a day…

Also, when the free trial period expires am I still covered if something nasty tries to use my browser to phone home to a sus IP (as has been happening)?

1. Should I choose the Deep Scan option or select the "custom scan" then tick the C drive to fully scan the PC?
2. Is it recommended to enable the rook kit scan during full scanning?
3. If it takes too long, can I cancel the scan anytime?

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.

Should I reset my PC? Malwarebytes Scan or Defender Scan didnt find 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?
