I really didn't know how to word the title, I've been using malwarebytes premium since early 2023, I had a 4090 at the time and never had any issues really...

Swapped to 5090 mid july 2025 and have had issues with the pc on/off. (Not blaming malwarebytes for this, just relevant i suppose).

Specs in case there's a known issue with drivers or something:

- 9850x3d

- 2x32gb cl30 6000mhz ram

- x870e aorus elite x3d

- 5090 suprim, Driver 610.62

- Seasonic 1600w psu

Dual monitors

- Fo32u2p, 4k 240hz oled Main (DP 2.1, no dsc)

- MSI qp271 x28 1440p 280hz (set to 240hz, no dsc, DP 2.0).

G sync/VRR on for fullscreen + vsync forced in nvidia control panel/app.

Today, whilst playing "Visage" i had moments where my FPS was around 140fps but the game got noticably more smeary / choppy, i also use hwinfo64 pro and noticed something at the time... the "presentmon" stat showed me FPS presented + displayed and it was saying:

my fps presented was good, 99%, 1% etc...

But

my fps displayed was all 0-1.5fps except for the fps displayed 99% which was stuck at 30fps.

I noticed the Presentmon had Malwarebytes in the name, which i did have open but minimized to the taskbar, so i closed it to system tray and it fixed.

Somehow, Malwarebytes which had been open for the past X hours, randomly took focus despite not clicking / maximizing it, during the game. It didn't do any auto scan nor did it detect a threat or anything during this, i had been playing the game for about 2 hours at this point, it was fine until it randomly wasn't.

I have had this similar experience with a few other games but never noticed presentmon exposing the program till now (Not checked at the time and it passed fast), i am wondering if this is happening on/off rarely.

I will keep an eye on it in future, just wondering how something like this happens.

I think I’ve finally narrowed it down to this being the main account that’s stealing accounts and passwords through malware. So this account has the majority of stolen accounts as friends. I’m assuming this is the account they transfer everything to. They sell all the cards that are linked to steam accounts and been sending the proceeds to this main account. All the hijacked accounts if you preview friends list they have a normal amount of friends. I gone through similar friends on stolen accounts and came across this account that has all the stollen accounts as friends in their list very suspicious they would be friends with all stolen accounts. Only account that all stolen accounts seemed to be linked to with 100s of friends that are stolen accounts.

I wasn't paying attention and accidentally downloaded Pulse Browsergo last night. Basically I was trying to download a font and I clicked on the wrong link and it auto launched. I immediately uninstalled and have run various scans (malwarebytes, AVG, hitmanpro) which haven't picked anything up, but I can't shake the feeling that something isn't right. Does anyone know anything more about Browsergo? Is there anything more I should do?

Why block the Yarra Trams site? I need it for transport information!

Currently running a scan and pythingw.exe in Gimp 3 is flagging as malware. I've had Gimp installed since before it had malwarebytes and its never flagged before. However I had a quick look online, and from what I can tell this particular program has flagged as a false positive in the past?

Has the most recent update caused it to happen again or should I keep it quarantined?

Edit to add- I ran it though virus total and it only flagged for malwarebytes so im leaning toward false positive but still wanted to consult the community.

I like the ThreatDown blog and the new MDR-focused one.

It would also be great to have more research-driven articles such as it was for Deno JavaScript Abuse or Guardrails-free AI, and similar technical subjects.

In addition, creating a subreddit channel could help increase engagement with the tech community and encourage content sharing in relevant subreddits such as

r/cybersecurity and r/malwareanalysis.

I was recently hit with renpy info stealer and malware bytes was kind enough to. Give free trial.

I'm buying the subscription now! This is your best marketing Malwayerbytes.

Best anti virus out there

Pulsar Bibimbap, the websoftware from pulsar where you can change your settings for pulsar peripherals is getting blocked due to riskware?

I can’t move it, close it and it just keeps coming back on restart

Any ideas?

Pinokio ai thing

I like malwarebytes it's the best antivirus for me

I clicked by accident on visit in a google image and it took me to the url on the virus total, I instantly closed the page before it even loaded and in virustotal it only flags VIPRE so I wonder if it's a false positive or not

I've used the free edition of MB for over a decade. I bought a new PC and downloaded what was advertised as a FREE version only to find that the installed version was a two week free trial. I immediately uninstalled it.

I don't do business with liars or fraudsters.

Readers: Any time you see the word FREE, look behind the curtain. Chances are that they are lying.

The Malwarebytes browser add-on blocks the videos on the BBC website.

They seem to be stored on a non-BBC domain.

Which websites should I allow?
