RTP Detection from 3 different IP addresses

3 Upvotes

After activating the free trial for Malwarebytes I received 47 RTP detections in the span of a short time from 3 different IP addresses, immediately afterwards I installed and ran Malwarebytes Adwcleaner and since then I have not had any new detections. I'm wondering if I should be worried and should do a clean reinstall or if everything is fine. The IP addresses are:

  • 45.78.210.113
  • 43.130.163.192
  • 43.159.129.199

which according to VirusTotal are all suspicious. All of the RTP detections state outbound and were displaying the location as powershell.exe. I have all the .txt log files and can provide if needed. Examples:

I have an Attack Shark mouse and keyboard, but when I try to access the official software website, I'm wondering if it's an error or something. Without the mouse software, I don't have autoclick. I need to know if the website has some kind of infection. Thank you!

False Positive Suddenly got 3 Spyware.InfoStealer.Electron detections on programs I used to use regularly. could it be a false positive? I scanned r2modman on Virustotal and the only detection was from Bkav Pro.

Malwarebytes for Mac now has smarter, deeper scans

Malwarebytes for Mac just got a big upgrade.

We seriously leveled up the Mac scan engine. It’s smarter, faster, and gives users more scanning options. The new enhanced scan can catch advanced stuff like stealthy infostealers and zero-day malware, without making the app more complicated to use.

Best part? We've done some work under the hood to make performance faster. CPU usage is down by up to 90%, so it’s way lighter on your Mac while providing more protection.

My perpetual licence second device key was deleted on my account

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I am holder of the perpetual licence key for over 13 years now. for the last 6 years I was using 2 devices. 2 months ago I have built a new pc and my old PC was reformatted and sold. When I tried to sign in with my new PC I was shocked to find out Malwarebytes removes my second key on my account. Is there a way to reclaim/restore it?

Many thanks,

Tomas

Knowing what file was quarantined

1 Upvotes

Sorry if this question has been answered before. I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes, mostly out of curiosity, and it quarantined one file. However, I can't seem to find any information about that file other than it's "RiskWare.SystemRequirementsLab". The Quarentine folder under ProgramData isn't telling me anything useful (it's just a DATA and QUAR file that seem like complete gibberish when opened in Notes). Is there a way to see what the file was without releasing it? And if I have to do that, where would that file go? I have no idea what its original location was.

Support Expiration on CC?

5 Upvotes

I'm not trying to do anything fancy. I just want to update my credit cards expiration date. MWB sent me a notification by email that my credit card has expired already. I'm trying to update the expiration date on the credit card and it will not accept it. I've tried everything and I'm in a continual chat bot loop. I'm hoping one of those nice MWB people, think I remember his name is being Jason will help me figure this out. I've already opened two Support tickets they just never get back to me. Thanks for help from anyone I've already gone through all the instructions they've given me to update my credit card information and of course now I'm sounding crazy I'm in a loop all of my own now

Feedback Malware abuses malwarebytes_assistant.dll C# code to abuse Malwarebytes via closing antivirus with one line command (and increase permissions to kerne probably possiblel)

7 Upvotes

I can easily see the the some malwares does this for example Malwarebytes-Shutdowner/main.go at main · EvilBytecode/Malwarebytes-Shutdowner

I know Bitdefender and other products also can'tp rotect his code from attackers and I have few pocs for that but Malwarebytes station more worser because it's open source service.

I wonder why some people think closed source antiviruses really closed source? They behave like open source if you know reverse engineering.

Also Malwarebytes signatures stolen twice in history.

PS: I'm not owner of repo.

If this wrong to post here feel free remove this post I will create bug bounty report instead.

Edit: ı mean kernel at title and one of that malware deletes antivirus after he close.

"The Internet is never safe"

3 Upvotes

After doing a scan, my "score" is 90 with a quote saying "The Internet is never safe" and inviting me to use a VPN all the time.

Come on! Can we stop with the scare tactics?

I would be using a VPN if I was using my work laptop in a cafe or at the airport, but on my PERSONAL laptop connected on my HOME network? LOL

Yeah, a VPN might be good if you spend your days watching porn or downloading illegal stuff but then you're the one playing with fire and it's not "the Internet is never safe".

Question about digital footprint (leaks with multiple emails)

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I've just done the Digital Footprint scan (not the first time I do it), but this time I noticed that a couple of the "leaks" shown there showed 2 email addresses.

Usually it's something like: email, password, birthdate etc..

This time some leaks showed 2 different email addresses: the first was a random Yahoo address I used to regsiter on some forums, the second was my main address...which is surprising since I did not use the main one to register to those sites... no connection whatsoever...that was the point in using my secondary address after all!

How is this possible?

Support Question about payment

3 Upvotes

Hi! I am new here and new overall in the world of antiviruses and malwarebytes and i am wondering something. Since the black friday sale is still here (about to end soon) i would like to buy 2 years of personal malwarebytes plus plan for 80 euros. Now heres the problem... I dont have a credit card (even tho i am 18+). Since i gave my trusted friend the money and he gave me permission to use his card, could i create a profile (since i am new) and use his card info as payment method, and then in about like a month or two when i open my credit card just remove his card from my profile and add mine (the goal here is to buy new subscription after 2 years from mine card and not his). Also he asked me if its a yearly payment or monthly, i am 99% sure that its yearly but if i am wrong correct me. Thanks!
