Malwarebytes declares Windows 'malicious', nukes 1,000s of PCs

seriously

Roll on the -1's for honesty :p

anyone recommending MSE has absolutely no clue what they are talking about.

Malwarebytes has continuously been one of the best malware scanners out there, been using it for about 6 or 7 years

(it does not register itself as an antivirus-nor does PrevX, - if you have either installed, windows security centre will tell you that there is no AV installed on your PC.)

Avira, an truly excellent AV product ...did a similar thing last year -buggy updates crippling PCs, avg have done it twice in as many years. -guess QC testing didn't work then either?

Norton, macafee etc., no one is/has been immune to bad definition updates.

Normally the comments section on reg can be the most informative part of an article, this is not the case here imo

I've worked in computer repair last 14 years, I've removed more malware than 99% of people reading this site.

Malwarebytes is an excellent product, has been for years

MSE is not, never has been..

btw, the idea that some(any) €30 product can properly shield you from attack vectors is utter rubbish.

All anti virus's are reactive not proactive(with exception of heuristics- which account for very little detections)

NASA spend millions on security, and Gary Mckinnon got in on blank administrator passwords.

rant over ;)

F*ck you, thunders disgruntled fanboi Apple user

I can't jump because

If that was a proper one, I would jump, but sorry that's not a signed parachute.

Win XP SP2 support to cease in two months

re- updates

If you install XP and go to windows update in 3 months time, you will have one option- to upgrade to XP SP3, you will receive every update after that.

therefore if you have any other versions, you will not receive auto updates, except whatever it takes to get you to SP3.

I use ,CTupdate, now called 'WSUSupdate' update from Hiess dot de.

It allows you to run an local update server and it keeps all updates locally in its folder.

covers all versions from win2k to server2008,(32&64bit), office, dot net, terminal servces client and a couple of others

so when updates stop for SP2, ill still have them

tbh, sp2 updates are useless to me as I only install SP3 anyway, but might be useful to some

Opera chief: history will silence Unite doubters

first I though u were a troll Shakje

But as jakes wife said, you are just a condescending prick.

How can you respond to the points everyone is making, like security, power on etc. by just sticking your head in the sand, cover your ears and sing "na na na na na na na na"

you know and we don't etc...obfuscation by ignorance?

I completely detest MS and their Browser market share, they achieved it through their monopolistic position, 10 of thousands of people lost their jobs and we received an inferior product IE&netscape.

Same story with their media players, firewall, backup, DRM etc.etc.etc.

They also own/control the gamer market, DirectX & the shitbox360, so gamers are pwned by MS as well.

However this guy in opera, he just complains all the time, we cant do this, please give more help. And when he does actually create? something not new, but different..it's the best thing since sliced bread, and anyone technical cant understand it?

you couldn't make this shit up

And Shakje, stop behaving like you matter and no-one else does...Calm down....

word of the day......empathy
