This is the second time that this applicaction in surface scanning, deletes me important applicactions. This time it were NOD32 and Firefox. I have to discover what other ones more. I will delete it definitively from the PC. Many thanks and greetings.

I've run Malwarebytes' Antimalware on my machine many times and never had a problem.

It would be nice if you could post the log of what was found. While the application has had some false positives lately, those particular ones you noted are a bit hard to believe without seeing and would be cause for concern.

I use both NOD32 and Firefox, and Malwarebytes Antimalware has not bothered either of those two programs when I run scans.

As drex23 said, a logfile would be very helpful.

I can think of two possibilities at this point: you have a rogue and not the real program for Malwarebytes Antimalware, or somehow your Firefox and NOD32 became corrupted.

I use Malware that was found through a link given by a most distinguished member of the forum. Now I have also doscobered that deleted my folders settings in Outlook 2003 and some special bars in Firefox now that install it again. Always every detail is maintain on installing Firefox again. Also, I cannot reinstall, now,, the Foxmark that figures as installed but is not present anywhere.

It's not necessary that the troubles one tells here are also present in the PC's of other members of the BC forums. They will inmediately stop of being troubles and would become usual situations necessary deserving to be considered as normal. Simple logic. Friendly greetings. :thumbsup:

Okay, what we would like is to see a logfile from the program in order to see what is/was being detected. It is a bit hard to fathom NOD32 and Firefox being flagged for no reason, that is what I was saying. If you would be able to post the logfile(s) here it would be appreciated.

Instead of claiming that a legitimate program is dangerous, why not inquire about your issues with the developer at the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Support Forum?

They continually ask for feedback on bugs and problems so they can fix them and improve the program.

Why don't you keep your most kind reflection capacities for realizing that all here in BC are having troubles with issues, legitimate or not, that do not make problems to some other people. That's the reason of our concerns (why me? I do not want this for other ones). Rare would be, and deserving a most kind friend that I do not know (as he doesn't know me) admonished me through a forum, if I was telling troubles with a new device invented by me. I am a phenomenologist, as people should be spontaneously, and so, I describe and try to share what I experience. Sorry if I offended the "human rights" of the already named device. It was generously adviced by a most distinguished person but my results have been twice, disastrous. Spontaneous answer has been to share my disagreable results, to avoid other people to get angry. I hope this doesn't bother you more than the little bothering of your answer, because it goes with my extreme good will and friendship, only saying what I "legitimately" feel. Not everything in life is suposed to be as it should, but as it is. :flowers: :thumbsup:

I didn't intend my brief answner in the manner you may have taken it. No offense was taken. We are all volunteers here at BC but we have real life jobs. I was called away to do a task but wanted to provide you with a suggestion as to what you should do rather than leave your thread without a reply. Normally my replies are not so brief as I prefer to going into further details when time permits.

With that said, no tool is infallible and MBAM is no exception. However, the developers take feedback of reported problems seriously and they will investigate if your issue is some type of bug or false detection. I know some of the folks involved in their team. They are volunteer experts who contribute much time into research and development. Reporting your finds will not only assist them but others you may experience similar problems.

I am not offended and I would wish to tell you that when one speaks or writes in other language than the vernacular, always has various troubles, for example incapacity to tell jokes or to be ironic, as also to speak women, etc. I am not offended. Please, consider me a friend. I think, as doctor I am, that when one has a bad experience with a good doctor, one has the obligation to tell his friends and relatives, AND THE DOCTOR. I would wish to tell that I think that also secondary to scanning with the already named applicaction, together with disagreable issues I could delete a "damned" pop up that was bothering since months. I mean that always there are good and bad perspectives in the reality, that, as matter of facts, is always perspective while it is reality. Friendly regards and many thanks for your reflections.

Your majesty,

I am an user, and as an user I should feel. I do not "need" anything else but to remain as your friend and, in this moment, run to rest a little after a very hard morning giving therapy (not the psyhcoanalytic old stuff, but existential, that's very demanding).

My friendship for everybody.

Please let us forget this subaltern perspective of our lives...
