That sir, sounds like a trap no matter how you answer that prompt.

  1. You don't have Malwarebytes installed and this is an ad to get you to install the app. Boooooo

  2. You do indeed have Malwarebytes installed and infact have 50 suspicious files that need removal. Do you remove without review (yes) or do you contain them first for review(no).

This sounds more like an ad somewhere on someone's newish machine that hasn't removed the bloat software. I would ignore the shit out of that prompt and check if some trial Malwarebytes is installed.

But I'm also some digital entity online, you do you and this was probably just a joke all along.

Remember when malwarebytes was like… actually good and the go to for free anti virus?

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not good anymore?

[–] fleem@piefed.zeromedia.vip 2 points 18 hours ago

damn that's what im wondering now. i still see the ads to renew from when i had it a decade ago.

no Linux support so what's the point?

but that sucks!

Wow a wild digital entity

They're everywhere. Nearly everybody you encounter on the internet is a bot. There are only two real people in this vast digital ocean: me, posting this comment; and you, reading this comment. We're the only ones capable of posting OC that isn't AI slop. You gotta step it up.

This real person gets it and we will take the appropriate action.

[–] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Even having licensed malwarebytes resolves in ads and pop ups from mbam... Might as well just save the money and earn the ads the old fashion way

Put them in a lil zoo, charge admission to see them

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You jest, but companies literally have “malware zoos” to test the malicious binaries.

[–] NightmareQueenJune@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The zoo even got little sandboxes!

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Here's hoping none of them can escape the sandbox.

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

When I say my zoo is sandboxed I mean it doesn’t even have the hardware to connect to a network.

Veeeeery few companies can say the same.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Does it have an internal speaker or HDD activity light? Both of those are known exfiltration methods. :)

Hell, even a variable speed fan has been used.

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 1 points 4 hours ago

No, no and static curves ;)

[–] Ypsilenna@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 day ago

No, these are my emotional support viruses!

[–] Opisek@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I worked hard to collect them all

Amen. It's seriously annoying when malware scanners flag my 3rd party admin tools but not the ones made by major vendors, especially at my place of employment.

I had to downgrade the vastly superior Process Hacker with Process Explorer because of this, plus, I lost most of my Nirsoft tools.
