[Guest]

I need to report the latest.  I sent my log report to Marcin at Malwarebytes and in a few minutes a fix was posted and the latest scan was what I expected.  Thanks Marcin and Malwarebytes.  Excellent little program!

Good to hear

I think this is a good one for my "emergency" usb stick

That is a very bad judgement without even testing our product. Sad how you can make a judgement like that.

John, if you visit our contact page (I do not want to 'spam' any links here or get in trouble with the admins) you will find my e-mail address to which you can send the logs. This is a big problem and I will get to the bottom of it immediately.

Well I saw the false positives that were brought up, so I dont need to test the program to see how it works.  Now that its fixed I commend you, but ill wait for future releases.

How can you be so sure that those where false positives It could have been a bug related to the non default installation as well At least they fixed it, and fast

I tested the new version, no more FP, no more ob files. Now runs very well.

Well first of all I need to say that this little program has a future  .

Only the test results from the testing malware I got, I get some dissapointing results

NOT a virus : 0/116   which is normal because it's antispyware ( I just tested it because these days they could have included it without you asking it, or is this just Comodo  )
Other malware : 2/2035 
Worms : 1/2350

So, heu Malwarebytes is there anything were I can send these files to ?

well, then you can be infected with a lot of "trash"and Malware is saying you you are clean,lol

[Rednose]

The problem for starting anti virus/spyware/malware scanners is always the detection rate, and how to improve it.

In my opinion you can follow two strategies using the research time you have for malware :

1 ) Researching as much malware that you can possibly find, and so spending a lot of time too on researching old malware that has a small chance to get infected with.

2 ) Most and for all researching malware that people are recently infected with, and so there is a high chance to get infected with.

I would prefer the 2nd strategy in the beginning and make researching recent malware my priority

What about preventing the malware to do anything?
Then you will need less detection.

[ at ] red, I'm with you on the strategy but have to tell you that the samples are like 4 months old. (which is still quite new, not?)

In every case, take CFP and BoClean and use an several on-demand scanners to delete was has gone through the nets, for example (very suprisingly probably  ) Malwarebytes.

Melih will agree with you 100% there,he's always saying about prevention being better than cure (which of course it is!).The full,paid version of MBAM does offer real-time protection so it'll be interesting to see how well this performs in the real world.

Funny,

Look at latest news,

Version 1.07 released. We're sorry for such a quick update   .

Trying the full version...

Hi Xan

Yes, so companies like Comodo and Malwarebytes will appreciate it when you submit such samples

Greetz, Red.

[alaertsxan2]

They're already submitted to comodo ...

Problem is that I still don't understand the malwarebytes site, were is the submission 'thing' ?
I would have downloaded them to downtown.vc, but the problem is : my internet connection here is like 0,1 kb a second, which means it will take days to submit them ...

Now I have my old account back, I will send the links to Malwarebytes
