this is the second time malwarebytes has got rid of that stupid rogueware and spyware crap that messes up my computer so bad.
malwarebytes is awesome you guys are the BEST
i even scanned with avg, windows defender and SUPERantispyware and none of them completely removed the infections like malwarebytes.

If you had the registered version that might be able to block you from getting it in the first place.

@ mikeyfiddler

I'm glad that this product has served you well

You should consider purchasing the PRO version. It can help prevent things like this from infecting your computer in the first place

You should check for updates on a daily basis. A single week can leave your machine far behind in the malware wars. We sometimes release multiple updates in a single day to keep up with various trends in malware.

I personally check for updates to MBAM before doing anything else when turning on my computer. Then I check for my AV for updates.

If I am on for more than an hour or two, or later on in the day, I check again

Isn't that a bit much - Every hour for A/V ?? Don't your auto updates come every day - MBAM seems twice a week is OK ??

@ noknojon

Oh, I don't check every hour for AV - just when I boot up (and later on in the day, say several hours later or more), if I use the computer again, and MBAM if I am on longer than an hour, not every hour though. Sorry for the confusion.

Mbam twice a week... well if you have a slow internet connection than twice a week is probably okay, but you should update it once a day at minimum.
If you only use the free version though, you really only need to update before you plan to scan, as the free version doesn't offer realtime protection.

Also, please in the future when replying erase what the person you are replying to said. Thanks

I check for updates to MBAM, SAS and KAV about every 2 or 3 hours that I'm online. They all update pretty frequently, especially KAV, usually hourly, but I don't have any of them update automatically.

I update mine at random times during the day, it does not hurt to do this, and it keeps us safer this way.

Yes I agree Mbam is great.
Today it saved me from adware.zhongsou, which SAS & Avast Pro.(new edition) did'nt detect.

MBAM is awesome. Norton did nothing. All it did was find tracking cookies. I wish i had a credit card. I would love to get the Pro version. The only thing I wish for MBAM to do is interface. Really, I'm a sucker for graphics. Before the mishap with Iobit, I had actually switched to Iobit because of interface, however I had a feeling something bad would happen to their name. Then I switched back and found MBAM found 24 trojans that Iobit didn't!!!! I look at the results and go, WTF where did Antivirus 2009 come from!!!! Residue from an installation 5 years ago. GO MBAM!!!
