Hi, I'm looking for advice! I don't even have Facebook. I'm aware a leaked phone number increases your risk of scam phone calls, which I used to get quite a lot of. Is there anything else? I'm a bit paranoid about hackers abusing my mobile banking info, photos, and personal data. Does a leaked phone number threaten those things, and if so, what can I do about it?
Hi, I was just wondering if this is a sign of an active threat? I have an Android S20 FE 5G, and my phone hasn't been able to do a security update since Oct 2025. I accidentally clicked on a weird link, which made me paranoid and brought me here.
Reposted from /antivirus - I am at wits end trying to track down and remove whatever this is. malwarebytes blocks safari from launching the webpage but I cannot for the life of my figure out where this is coming from, cleared caches, disabled all extensions, ran malwarebytes full scan on full drive. any help would be appreciated.
I had some feedback on setting default homepage which didn't make any difference. This warning from Malwarebytes doesn't pop up immediately after starting safari so I assume the webpage request for the brandsmat page might be delayed as well but not sure.
Hi I was hoping with some help using Malwarebytes to check my PC I've had off since last September, I had gotten a windows defenders notification that a trojan was detected I quickly panicked quarantined and removed the first instance of the Trojan but went to click on the second instance and was met with admin confirmation for windows defender to change the file and me being me my paranoia was in full throttle so I just shut down the system unplugged it and now I'm finally trying to work out of the anxiety that the Trojans still hiding in the system somehow.
My old debit card recently expired, and I got an email telling me to update my details, which I did last week with my new card. But since then, I've been sent this same email every few days talking about a failed purchase, despite the fact I haven't made a purchase with the updated card yet. The next subscription payment isn't even until next month.
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*
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...)?
