  3. W10 Defender vs. Malware bytes? July 2017

    In addition to what people are mentioning, Windows Defender is more anti-virus than anti-malware focused. Malwarebytes is significantly more Anti-malware focused. The problems that you found are in a rather different category from what Windows Defender is
    MAINLY scanning. As people mentioned, it is aimed to stop the initial infections, but not every anti-virus software works 100%.

    This is the reason why it is recommended to have one specifically anti-virus and anti-malware software. It shows how much more important that is.

    You don't have to do anything more then let Malwarebytes do its job *Smile

    Also, I would enable rootkit detection and self protection.

    I believe that is aperiodic file (updated now and again) in windows updates. It is a backup and more intensive scan of your computer for viruses. It is, as far as I am aware, a legit MS program.

  7. Your Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is out of date, please download current version.

    Version: 2.2.0.1024
    Database Version: v2015.12.30.02

  8. Malwarebytes anti-malware home premuim found a virus

    Not only is your PROGRAM version out of date, but your DATABASES are SERIOUSLY outdated, as well.
    So, there's a decent chance the detection was a false-positive, based on the old database.

    NOTE: If you cleanly upgrade the program now, without first restoring the file from quarantine, the uninstall will permanently remove the quarantined files from your system. If it was a false-positive, and if the file *is* a legit, important file, it could damage your system. (EDIT: See below for why a clean upgrade, rather than an on-top upgrade, is suggested.)

    If you are reasonably sure it is a false positive hit on a legit file, you can update the databases, reboot and then restore the file from quarantine.
    If you then rescan with the current database and it is no longer detected, then it was a F/P because of the old database.

    BUT, if you are not sure, it would be safer to:
    1) Leave the item in quarantine for now (until it can be determined to be safe).
    2) Update the MBAM DATABASES and then re-scan.
    3) If it was a false positive because, then it should no longer be detected.
    4) If you're not sure, you can submit a new scan log with the current database AND the file in question for analysis HERE.

    Since your PROGRAM version is very old, once you sort this file detection issue with the current database, I suggest a clean upgrade to the current version.
    Please carefully follow the steps in this pinned topic to uninstall your current version of MBAM and reinstall the latest build - MBAM Clean Removal Process 2x
    EDIT: If you do have Self-Protection enabled, it must be disabled before attempting a clean reinstall/upgrade.
    It is important to reboot when prompted by the removal tool. It's a good idea to reboot again AFTER the upgrade.

    Thanks,

    MM

    P.S. The detection was a "Trojan", not a virus. All viruses are malware, but not all malware are (true) viruses. In fact > 95% of malware these days is non-viral malware.*Wink

    Also, I don't know if this was already mentioned and I missed it, but I did note where you said; ".... because my windows defender is not working.."

    I don't think MalwareBytes is a good replacement for your anti-virus, but moreover something to be used in addition with. See HERE.
     
  10. Correct!
    Good catch, @b1rd!
    MBAM Premium is designed to run alongside an AV, to provide complementary protection against zero-hour and zero-day, non-viral malware threats!

    Agree. MRT is their Malware Removal Tool. At least if he removed it from quarantine and computer, Windwos Update will reproduce it at next Check for Updates.
