Dear mountaintree16 honestly I've never tried MBAM pro, but I really don't like having two real time scanners working on my pc even if they don't conflict. Perhaps it's an obsession of mine.
I don't like using two security programs both with the real time protection; that can have conflicts detecting the same files and they could make the pc slower. I usually use an antivirus with the real time protection (e.g. Antivir) and some antispyware softwares (free versions) wothout that.
Will Malwarebytes be added as a virustotal scanner? I think it could help people a lot due to his high detection rate and it's sure better of some other scanners on that site.
I don't know why do you feel attacked! Malwarebytes doesn't find anythink strange scanning the rootkit, and it isn't a recent one (2008, i think). I only gave a suggestion, next time I won't do it. Bye bye.
Thanks for your exhaustive reply. So it's very hard protect the processes from malware termination... but I think something more can be done. Prevention is the KEY: I agree, but an unexpert user could ignore the antivirus allarm to install, for example, a crack. Once he discover it was really a malware he should have the softwares ready to disinfect the pc, but if these softwares are disabled...
I'm using the free version. In my PC are also installed SpyBot S&D SUPERAntispyware and Avira Antivir 10. The malware I used for the test was a common rootkit agent (Avira named it TR/rtkit) and was able to terminate Avira and Malwarebytes. I think both this software have to improve their processes protection from unwanted termination. Avast for example, disableing (?) the real-time, was able to resist from bagle while Avira wasn't.
I think Malwarebytes is a great software, with an high detection rate and it is my favourite antispyware/malware software. However I think that its autoprotection against malwares has to be improved. Some rootkit are able to terminate him. What do you think about that? ps: sorry for my English but I'm Italian
Hello, I'm a new (Italian) member of the forum. I'm also a user of Malwarebyte's Antimalware, the best Antispyware/Malware software IMHO. I have a question. Why can't I download the attached files in the "Research Center"?
