Okay, according to the site analysis of McAfee SiteAdvisor:

http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/malwarebytes.org

The MBAM download provided on their site has a virus in it called Generic.PUP something...

Is this true?

Hello Lloyd T,

McAfee SiteAdvisor is in error. I have found that site advisor is not reliable. I uploaded the file to Jotti(online virus scanner) and it was completely clean. In the link you provided there is just one post that classes the file as malware this is most likely an error. MalwareBythes is clean.

Regards,

Alan.
