I’ve gotten this message from Malwarebytes quite a lot these few days. Is this just a false positive?

    Can you give me a good reason why Malwarebytes sucks? Because it’s widely used. I’ve been using it for 10+ years at this point. Bought it when you got it for lifetime ;)

    Just saying that it sucks don’t give me a single reason to believe you.

      I apologize, I didn’t word my opinion in the best way. I could debate about the quality of this product with you, and I think it could be quite enjoyable for both of us. However, this is not the point here.

      As I was saying. I doubt MalwareBytes is in the right here. It probably made a mistake. In all fairness, I have used that specific instance before and had no issues. That being said, I don’t use that antivirus or windows so… who knows. I personally trust the instance and its owner, and have had no notice about issues like this ever. So if I were you, I wouldn’t worry. Watch out for other warnings and be alert. That’s all.

        No worries. Cool of you to admit that the way you wrote it came out wrong, I do it all the time so no worries. I really appreciate people thinking twice before or even after posting.

        And I’m also pretty sure it’s a false positive but as @downpunxx points out it might be because of how they name their instance…
