Look at all that nature and the exercise to get these pictures. Killing two birds with one stone

Thank you for the follow up

It you're going to wipe it clean then I see no need to continue the scan

I believe so but since the logs indicate you've not allowed Malwarebytes to remove what it finds it's difficult to say for sure.

Thank you for reporting @Mechman700 The issue should be corrected now

Thank you for reporting @Projectpain The issue should be corrected now

Glad we could help. I will go ahead and close your topic now and wish you well. Take care and stay safe out there and have a great weekend Cheers

Yes, Windows Defender has found and removed some items. Not sure but perhaps Malwarebytes was blocking a domain or IP that we have since removed from detection. Please go ahead and restart the computer. Then run the following and we'll check further.

Thank you. Nothing detected. How is the computer running now? Are you still seeing any signs of infection?

Okay, I'll go ahead then and close your topic if you feel all is okay now. Take care

The version of µTorrent you have is not considered safe. It is recommended that you uninstall it. You should not be running hacks, cracks, etc. That is a risk that sooner or later you could easily run into a Ransomware attack that can encrypt all your data and not be able to get it back. The act of torrenting itself is not illegal. However, downloading and sharing unsanctioned copyrighted material is illegal, and there is always a chance of prosecution if caught by the authorities. Torrenting non-copyrighted material is perfectly fine and is allowed. However, be aware that we have seen increased malware bundled with software downloads over P2P. Recent Ransomware infections have been seen to encrypt user data so that no one can decrypt the data without the private key. When sharing files, please keep in mind that you're increasing your system's attack surface area, which can increase the risk of infection. Scan all files before running them. https://www.virustotal.com If you don't need or use the P2P software, you should uninstall it. P2P File-Sharing: Know the Risks https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/p2p-file-sharing-know-risks-a-737 Hidden risks in pirated software https://news.microsoft.com/apac/2019/01/08/hidden-risks-in-pirated-software/ Why You Shouldn't Use Pirated Software (But Why People Still Do) https://www.computer.org/publications/tech-news/trends/why-you-shouldnt-use-pirated-software Games that use P2P Malwarebytes can often block Steam and other games because Steam uses what is known as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology, meaning it connects to many different servers, workstations, and IP addresses. Sometimes Torrent based software will connect to a server that is also known for hosting malicious content. This is because multiple sites often share servers, workstations, IP addresses. So although what you are playing or downloading through Torrent-based software may be perfectly safe, some of the sites hosted on some of the IP addresses the Torrent-based software connects to may be malicious. Such connections are typically not a threat, and you may exclude Torrent-based software from the Web Protection component in Malwarebytes to stop the block alerts. Generally speaking, your web browser and other critical web-facing programs will still be fully protected from malicious websites and other malicious content. To do so, add the game executable program file to your exclusions using the method described under the Exclude an Application that connects to the Internet section of Exclude detections in Malwarebytes for Windows https://support.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038479234-Add-to-the-Allow-List-in-Malwarebytes-for-Windows-v4 NOTE: Some torrenting software binds to your network card, and it may not be possible to exclude from Malwarebytes. As you can see, almost all of the Torrent Clients have multiple detections and should not be installed on your system. However, if you choose to do so, you're increasing your system's attack surface area, which can increase the risk of infection. µTorrent Classic https://www.utorrent.com/downloads/win/ 26/68 Detections on VT https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/50d5c5e87031f564b0ccf85520fd29e8189f06f616054bbbd31340b8d643a4a2 BitTorrent Classic https://www.bittorrent.com/downloads/windows/ 25/68 Detections on VT https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/94469fec615b685aab656ef8e11f863226577342b3242d9d69d094ecf9667798 Vuze https://www.vuze.com/ 04/70 Detections on VT https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/bde00314f437b8e383f0d1cac04c5f29e4edbd37c2b82f9e890c147280d281ff Deluge https://www.deluge-torrent.org/ 0/67 Detections on VT https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d3f7d371b70ca10c7e912b9d3443fea3acd0c905aab4ac7799f02e65b58c8e59 qBittorrent https://www.qbittorrent.org/ 0/69 Detections on VT https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d75395193afcd161281a24b01ef523aa012b8cb2c116579081d7c6664425acfe

The idea is to prevent infection in the first place. Had it been ransomware all your data could be encrypted and not be able to get it back. Please make sure you setup a good data backup routine Let's go ahead and do some clean-up work and remove the tools and logs we've run. Please download KpRm by kernel-panik and save it to your desktop. right-click kprm_(version).exe and select Run as Administrator. Read and accept the disclaimer. When the tool opens, ensure all boxes under Actions are checked. Under Delete Quarantines select Delete Now, then click Run. Once complete, click OK. A log will open in Notepad titled kprm-(date).txt. You can close it We're glad that we were able to assist you.

This has been reported a couple of days ago internally by me. The team is working on an fix to correct.

I've updated to the latest db on MS Edge and rebooted my computer. Here is what I get. The site is not blocked but some other entries are

Please go ahead and run the following scanner from Microsoft and I'll check back on you tomorrow. It's almost 1 AM for me Let's go ahead and run a couple of scans and get some updated logs from your system. Please read the entire post below before starting so that you're more familiar with the process [ 1 ] Please make the following system changes. Temporarily disable your antivirus real-time protection or other security software first only if it blocks or interferes with the scans or downloads.. Make sure to turn it back on once the scans are completed. Temporarily disable Microsoft SmartScreen to download software below only if needed. Make sure to turn it back on once the scans are completed. Disable-Fast-Startup Show-Hidden-Folders-Files-Extensions [ 2 ] I suggest a new scan for viruses & other malware. This may take several hours, depending on the number of files on the system and the speed of the computer. The Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free Microsoft stand-alone virus scanner that can be used to scan for & remove malware or potentially unwanted software from a system. The download links & the how-to-run-the tool are at this link at Microsoft https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/safety-scanner-download Look on the Scan Options & select the FULL scan. Then start the scan. Have lots of patience. It may take several hours. Once you see it has started, take a long long break; walk away. Do not pay credence if you see some intermediate early flash messages on the screen display. The only things that count are the End result at the end of the run. The scan will take several hours. Leave it alone. It will remove any other remaining threats as it goes along. Take a very long break, do your normal personal errands .....just do not use the computer during this scan. This is likely to run for many hours as previously mentioned ( depending on the number of files on your machine & the speed of the hardware.) The log is named MSERT.log and the log will be at C:\Windows\debug\msert.log Please attach that log with your next reply. It is normal for the Microsoft Safety Scanner to show detections during the scan process. It is scanning for basically all bread crumbs or traces of files and registry entries that "might" be or have been part of some infection or previous infection. That DOES NOT mean the computer is infected. Once the scan has been completed it uploads the log to their Cloud service which then uses Artificial Intelligence to determine if in fact any of the traces are an infection or not. Then it writes into the log on your computer what it found. Thank you
