Malwarebytes, best Anti-Malware program yet?

General Topics

So, No doubt Malwarebytes is AWESOME. But just how awesome is it?

I recently did some testing with Steven on some undetected viruses from Avast!. (And some deteced ones as well). I launched 6 random files. The result is 737 “Objects detected” And the scan isn’t even done yet. I’ll post logs and an OTL scan when stuff is done. But oh my dear good god. I haven’t seen a file count that high since I met my friends computer which is used on Piratebay and uTorrent. (500 Objects, ALL PUP).

Note: 85k objects scanned + 8minutes in.

Edit: It’s done. ALL my exe files were disabled for a while. SF /w CMD Prompt is awesome.!

Here’s MBAM.

Yep. Malwarebytes is awesome.

Thats wh the malware experts are using it to clean the PCs here. :slight_smile:

Its also a good idea to use the PRO Version of it. Thats detects PUPs which Avast and others wouldnt detect.

4

It would be good to delete the malware pack before running the scan. :slight_smile:

I noticed all these .VIR files and was like the heck is that. Then it’s like. Right forgot about the pack… I never did rename those files. Although, some very nasty malware in their

There are a ton of PUPs, Adware.Agents, some Spyware, ZeroAccess Rootkits, Trojans, Worms, Ransomware,
Backdoors, Malware packer and riskware.

So almost everything that you can get, i hope you made a snapshot. :wink:

@Pondus, thats what i mean cause it protects you in realtime, and many people forget to update in free version.

then you should say what you mean in first post :wink:

The snapshot = death. I used the snapshot. Forgot to change over. I’m hating myself right now for it. :(. Someone wanna make an OTL script for me to clean it up? Lol. You don’t have to. Just be nice to have a clean VM for once so I don’t set another one up…

11

Just set up one with Java, Flash, Firefox, Chrome, Updates and programs and take a snapshot under machine tab
of Virtualbox when its running.

I had a snapshot like this some time but i was an idiot and deleted it. :-[

If you created the OTL Log after the MBAM Scan, there is still some PUP stuff in the system.

12

yeah, my VM is running my snapshot. Unless I can revert still? If so, how?

13

If you are on the home screen of Virtualbox you can choose Snapshots on the top right.

But i need to check that, i havent used Virtualbox some time now.

14

MBAM was run before OTL. So PUP is still there. MBAM isn’t finding it. Same as it isn’t detecting 149 of the files still sitting here…

One of which is a .exe file…

15

Wait! I think I did it? Let me check.

16

I got it! Just needed to check “Restore SnapShot Clean Slate”

Hi you folks,

Next to my avast! resident av solution I have both MBAM (and it took care of an Adware InstallBrain infection from a speedcheck downloader for me recently) but also MalwareBytes-Anti-Exploit to protect me from zero days → http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/antiexploit/#tab-details
Know of some users here on the forums that like this additional tool also. For me it blocked VLC player from executing through VLC a.o.

I’m assuming BlackHoles and other stuff? Will it work along side Avast!, Comodo and MBAM (Normal)?

You need to be careful with Comodo Firewall, maybe it does not like the Behavior of it.
