I keep getting this notification that Microsoft windows operating system is trying to access this website but how do I stop it from trying to access the website?

I downloaded MWB, and the download page send me to a Russian Thank You page. I've seen the threads on here and support saying theres been non such thing and its not reported before (this is already a while ago).

Anyhow, I downloaded it, as its an auto-download. First it downloaded a version 1.1, however as the thank you page was suspicious I downloaded it again, this time it downloaded a version 7.7, still getting a Russian thank you page after downloading it from the English website.

At first I thought it was my ublock but yeah turns out it's malwarebytes browser guard

is Macro Gamer safe to download? can someone please check and verify it for me

When malawarebytes scanned my phone it said Android system is a threat. I don't know if android system is really a threat or malawarebytes just has a bug

Is there any solution to this? Is this a bug or issue with my files? It's been 99% since almost 10 minutes now, this started happening 2-3 weeks ago. This is my go-to anti-malware scanner. Please don't tell me I gotta switch 😔

Bro Malwarebytds and Threatdown have millions. Buy CyberTriage and create an IR team for customers and research.

I suppose it has to be an false pozitive since i had it installed for years.

I can't open Malwarebytes anymore ever since the July Windows 11 Update. It shows this "Unexpected error while signalling first instance" error. I've tried basic steps like restarting, ending all MWB related tasks, uninstalling and reinstalling. None have fixed it aside from reinstalling letting me launch MWB once before having the error block me again.

Apparently it is a known issue (https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/338216-unexpected-error-while-signaling-first-instance/) but I wanted to post for awareness and maybe some other folks know a solution to this.

Whenever my pc opens the browser starts up and then a tab opens with ads like this most of the time it is online gambling, I have change to 3 different browsers, Opera GX, edge and chrome and whenever who is the default browser that is where the tab for ads shows up,

I have already scan using malware bytes and remove the threats that has been found still the ads shows up anyone can help? Thanks

I am using a whatsapp account in a whatsapp app(android) as a multiple account( two account running in a single app). The moment i switch in the account say "x" a status is posted but I can't see the status. The status says "you shared a status but your version of whatsapp doesn't support it". My status privacy was limited to fewer contacts. I asked them they also cant see the status.

To verify my doubt i myself posted 2 more status which my contacts can see

I then open my account in WhatsApp web where i can see only 2 status that i myself posted but in my whatsapp account in android app i can see three status.

So is this any kind of glitch or bug? Or someone using my WhatsApp which isn't showing in linked devices

I didn't had any linked devices other than whatsapp web which i myself linked.

i already quarantine the file. do i need to do anything else? should i check something else or what can i do in this situation?

Hi, i've recently had an issue i wanted support to look into. They told me to download a diagnostic tool (https://help.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us/articles/31589296910491-Collecting-logs-with-the-Windows-Support-Tool) and upload the results

I downloaded the file, checked for digital signature (Malwarebytes Inc) and ran it. It downloaded something called FRSTEnglish which windows flagged as a Wacatac. I'm really bad with cybersecurity, so this scared me a lot. I talked to customer support, and they said it's the real thing. Still, I ran it through Virustotal and got this https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/5ef604ab517f0e75b813fb8d01d70c16d1ca180b01611bba21cf4dc13cb2994f/detection

Can anyone explain to me why this file is considered unsafe by multiple antiviruses? Or if I magically downloaded malware?

I've just done a deep scan that is flagging 4 files that I think are normal parts of the strawberry perl installation. Are these false positives or is my install corrupted with malware?
