I use a flight sim called X-Plane, and one of the add-ons is scenery enhancement called AutoOrtho (AO). Part of the enhancement process involves many very small files with scenery details. There are typically literally at least tens of thousands of files, and hitting hundreds of thousands of...

I just manually started a Spybot scan and 55 files in, Windows Security called Spybot ransomware, and quarantined. This is on a machine in service since Feb.,'24 running Win 11. Unfortunately, aside from Spybot files now missing (deleted/quarantined), WS doesn't say what or why it did what it...

Periodically a pop-up reporting "Live Protection Resource ZOK24 Not Found" shows up after the screen blanker ends (cursor motion). There are always two pop-ups stacked, one behind the other, but offset enough to read both. Almost any cursor movement clears them. Do this message matter?

Sorry but I get so many search hits, I'm not sure where to post soooooooo... new topic Ripped YT video (all free!) - every video has these five items (different file names, of course) Type: File Object: The Spaghetti Western Orchestra - Live at the Royal Albert Hall 2011 - Full...

Old question, but the FAQ answer didn't work. I have a licensed (new) Home edition, and Live Protection driver will not install. I cleared the old (2.7) installation, installed 2.8.67.0, and all of that works as expected. I did the requested restarts, etc. Live Protection, even running Start...

I asked, in a ticket, about Spybot defeating or locking out Windows Defender. The reply was a quite understandable: "MS won't allow WD to run with any other AV program running." Got that. But... Malwarebytes has a procedure that puts MBAM under WD's radar, and the two very much coexist. As soon...

I have a recently updated edition Win10 Home, Malwarebytes 3.0, Spybot 2.5, and I want to run Win Defender, too. I tried to immunize my system and couldn't finish the job. Immunize doesn't tell me who the bad actor is, Defender is off because of Spybot, which leaves Malwayebytes, but it doesn't...
