exile, does that behavior have anything to do with Malwarebytes Free not detecting the eicar.com test file on my computer? I have seen that NIS will detect eicar.com (1) when I download it as eicar.com, (2) when I rename it back to eicar.com from something else, (3) if I double-click (execute?) it, or (4) when I do a Full System Scan. For some reason--I don't know why--NIS doesn't detect it when I run a simple Quick Scan. That said, the odd thing is, Malwarebytes never seems to detect eicar.com. So...I guess I'm just curious why that is. Thank you, and thank you for your free product. I, too, hope NIS's "issue" is resolved soon...I like Malwarebytes!
