For those that don't know Malware bytes (software) helps guard and rid your computer of all kinds of malware and adware that your viruschecker probably won't pickup.

However there are two sites we terbites might be interested in that come up as blocked as having malicious software.

Anyone else experience this? and maybe the webmasters for those agency's can clean up/protect their machines a bit better. I'd like to see their sites, but im not going to unblock them on blind trust.
 
Malware Bytes is by far the best free AV program out there. It has found shit buried deep in my computer that McAfee, AVG & Microsoft Essentials missed multiple times.
 
Malware Bytes is excellent and anyone running M$ should use it, along with CCleaner.

No Av is perfect.

Never liked McAfee. The only times I got any nasties was when using McAfee.
Microsoft Essentials isn't rated that well either.
AVG is decent but I always preferred free Avast for Windoze.

Now FREE Linux is my primary OS, which has bullet-proof security and needs no AV.

It's nice being M$ & Apple FREE.....:thumb:
 
Yeah I have to give a thumbs up to Malware Bytes too. Actually bought the program disc when I got some nasty malware a couple of years ago and a very worthwhile investment. Cleaned my system right up and has helped me out a couple of times since. If I recollect the paid version was only $30 or so.

I have both but is it worth to upgrade to the paid versions?

I use CCleaner more. You can exclude password or log in info when wiping cookies, etc.

I accidentally used Malware Bytes which seemed to work fine, but it prompts me to upgrade, but I think the free version is still useful, no? Do they upgrade the virus definitions, etc. in the free versions too?


P.S. I use AVG on one computer, and Kaspersky at work and on my laptop.

All the free versions now try to get you to upgrade to their paid 'premium' versions, even Avast does this.
I never do and have no problems but then again Windoze is seldom run anymore.

Used to run CCleaner several times a day to clean the crap out!
CC scans fast so frequent use was never a problem.

CC is amazing in showing how much crap accumulates in every day use.
i.e. run CC to clean your PC out. Then merely open any browser, then close it after it's been fully loaded.
Then run CC again and see how much crap merely doing that was generated!
You will find some browsers accumulate more crap than others.
 
Malware Bytes is great for removing that virus that hijacks your computer (FBI virus). Just run a scan and it will pick it up.

CCleaner is great for fixing the registry which also can slow down your computer.

Okay, good to know that they will keep definitions current even though they try to trick you into buying a premium version.

(BTW, CCleaner and Malware Bytes were both used by our external computer specialists to speed up my computer at work).

FBI Virus? WTF? That's a joke name of a real virus, no?

It's a virus that keeps taking you to a page every time you turn on your computer. You're just stuck going to that page the whole time. You can't access anything else on your computer at all.
Says something like they are the FBI or LE and they have been monitoring you blah blah and you need to go to a certain website to pay a 'fine' in order for them to release control of your computer back to you.

I had this virus two years ago. Took me a bit of work to remove it.

I think it's called FBI moneypak virus.

Alot of second tier poorly coded websites contain dangerous scripts
There was this same discussion about poorly coded high end massage websites previously on terb
Its funny considering these places appear to be making decent coin yet are so clueless about how badly their websites blow
 
In Canada also known as the RCMP virus.

I have come across this or a variant of this scam. I usually hit control alt delete to bring up the task manager page. This usually opens even when all other pages are locked or blocked. Close the page and immediately run virus scan.

Strangely enough, when I first used CCleaner, it would wipe all log - in info and passwords from sites I visit. The past few times I used CC, it has not wiped that info, even her on Terb. I did not change any settings. Would anyone know what changedÉ

That one still kicking around, huh? I got that virus seven years ago when my anti-virus got f-ed up by faulty hardware.

Nowadays I use Avast and MalwareBytes together.
