    malware bytes

    Hello Bob

    Thanks for posting Microsoft Community. I'm Marcos Independent Advisor.

    Is Malware Bytes free version or Premiun?

    If it is the Malware Bytes free version there should be no conflict, because they won't be doing the same work.

    Malware Bytes free version runs as a periodic scanner, looking for malware, Windows Defender will be running as a real-time protection.

    I suggest you testing both it should work well with Defender.

    If you have Premiun Malware Bytes then It is not recommended to run more than one real-time Anti-Malware product. You should only chose to use one of them.

    Hope it helps you let me know if you need further assistance.

    Regards.

    Windows defender and McAfee can't remove 'Initialsite123' malware

    Hi. I'm using windows 10 home that came installed on my dell 7559 laptop. Recently, the search engine of both my browsers (google chrome and microsoft edge) gets automatically set to 'initialsite123' and similar names, everytime I start the browser.
    The windows defender and McAfee both can't remove the malware that's causing it. I've tried 'Malware Bytes' which also couldn't remove it. I would especially request the Microsoft Windows Defender support staff to provide an update that is able to remove such
    malwares. Suggestions from everyone will be appreciated. Thanks

    Is it a Virus or a Malware or something else?

    Hello Joes,

    There's a possibility that your device is infected with a malware causing why you're unable to delete the game on your laptop. In order for us to assist you better, we'd like to ask the following:

    • Aside from formatting the hard drive, what other troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • Have you asked your friend where did he download the games?

    To identify if your computer is infected with a virus or malware, we recommend downloading and running
    Microsoft Safety Scanner. The scanner can easily detect if there's any virus found on your device. To do so, follow the steps on this
    link.

    We are looking forward to your reply.
