I'd rather be phishing!

The revenge of the bear! Then maybe you should try one of these: tools-to-fix-windows-errors[^] :-\

you know that windows defender has been rated among, if not the best AV solution for win10. [on the rare occasions I us w10] I've never bothered with anything else - long time immune to the snake oil sales pitch put out by AV companies

Just because this is The Lounge don't think "doesn't work" is going to fly.

I have had problems where my anti-virus (Malwarebytes) insists on quarantining the exe file of a program I have written myself (and know contains nothing that can be considered a virus in any way!) :mad: I can whitelist the exe or the containing folder, but that's little comfort, because once a user has installed the program, he may have the same problem. Have yet to find a solution for that... :sigh: Could it be something along those lines? :confused:

Some of the other solutions (I'm looking at McAfee particularly) are worse than the viruses it protects you against! :sigh:

Mark TwainI also use MBAM, together with Windows Defender, and I had a similar case of a "false positive" in MBAM, and I think I was able to provide info about it through Malwarebyte website so that they could update their database. This loop takes longer but I do not see this MBAM detection coming back - it looks like this worked, at least in my case …

Mark TwainThe little bleeder, I have to have an IP connection to use a some hardware. Fine. The hardware then talks to another piece of software (IP) to talk back to the software simulation of another bit of hardware. The issue was the Eset getting in the way of the connection back to my PC despite it being told to ignore the issue. Why the blood and stomach pills didn't somebody look at this, it is causing my Team no end of problems! We have to excluded from the group, so here we are swinging in the breeze... :laugh:

helped someone set up some lenovo laptops, they bundle in mccafe among the first things I did was remove that and switch them back to defender. not being picky, [showed the guy why]: mccafe kept on bitching and stopping during install of the official xerox printer suite and drivers. One wrong answer and kiss using the office printer goodbye.

Mark TwainHaha same thing happened to me. Inside Visual Studio I ran the application. It recompiled it due to fresh changes then it all went really really slow. Next it reported that the executable didn't exist. WTE Then MBAM notifier popped up after some delay with.... "Machine Learning Detected" and executable quarantined. To be fair though, the application was doing some unusual things that may have triggered this response. The app was encrypted and used a boot loader to launch it into memory. It monitored all existing and new USB connections and checked their type and their serial numbers. So I can imagine that their engine may see this as suspicious and then false positive my app. Turns out that a lot of other AV software reacted similarly. Don't care that much as this is not distributed widely at all. I have heard of developers having nightmares with anti-virus software companies who do not alter their detection strategies for innocent software. However it appears from what I have seen on the Net, and reported by Tachyonx in the post below, that Malwarebytes does modify their code in order to avoid false positives, if there are complaints. Most AV software has caused problems for me at some stage through their use. Many of them have become viruses themselves almost. When removed everything becomes fast and works again. I don't trust them. Most seem to like finding issues to keep you feeling like you are being protected when you know that it is BS. Malwarebytes has been the best so far. The least intrusive, not much slowness induced and rapid response when required. Good when in a browser as well. Although they say that they are anti-malware more than anti-virus. Still the same thing essentially. Also it is interesting to note that MBAM doesn't detect Eicar Virus string. They say that it isn't a real virus so why the heck perform a false positive on it. They say better to work on real issues instead of wasting time. Sounds a little petty, but, I can sort of understand. It could introduce more false positives. Gee, sorry, I just wanted to comment on your post and it has turn into a rave almost. Oh Well.... it is Thursday here. Maybe that explains it.
