#Malwarebytes google extension free#
But, ever since some profit-seeking corporation bought MBAM and converted to a pay-model, it seems like the converted once free functionality (like real-time protection) to a premium option. I'm aware of security issues as a developer and rarely get infected because I have SE and MalwareBytes. Everything seemed fine.įor the record, I wasn't ever able to identify what freeware/website/email was the actual trojan that opened the door for the baddies.
I concluded at the that point that all the malware was gone and then proceeded to change my YMail password. I selected to removed the offenders in both programs, rebooted, re-scanned - nothing found. To my recollection, between MBAM and SE they found 2-3 malicious softwares (sorry, don't remember what it was). I immediately ran MalWareBytes and a scan with MS Security Essentials (after successfully updating, of course). Upon logging in to my YMail, I discovered that several contacts had been messaged from my account.
The first sign of problems was when a coworker at work complained that my yahoo account had sent him some spam. I'm a web developer and my laptop started experiencing strange symptoms, originally in November 2012 (3 months ago). Many of us would be completely lost without your guidance! First of all, I'd like to thank all the volunteers on this forum who offer technical assistance.
