MBAM should pay us for using these crappy software..............!!

I think that they lost their compass trying to replace conventional AV.

Hi there
Why anybody these days on Windows 10 (HOME users not Enterprise / Office type workplaces) needs to install ANY 3rd party A/V software is a total mystery to me.

The days for that type of software were back in the dying days of C20 when Windows was as leaky as a sieve and hackers abounded.

Today Windows defender is built on the extremely robust Enterprise strength security built in to Ms's hugely used and very successful AZURE cloud system. Also nobody is interested in hacking "Mom and Pop" computers any more for a miserable few dollars -- name of the game is identity theft, bank / e-commerce fraud etc etc -- these can't be stopped with conventional Anti Virus software -- you need Human Brain -- and eventually some sort of A.I might help - but that development is quite a few years off yet.

I often ask people what do 3rd party A/V products detect that WD doesn't - especially if you ignore the false positives -- which is a real pain in itself to determine whether implied threat is real or otherwise.

I haven't used any A/V product since W7 other than WD and haven't had any problem with Viruses etc etc -- and I've visited loads of sites that shouldn't be mentioned here too.

Cheers

I transferred a perpetual licence of MWB from a W7 machine to my current W10 machine so it cost me nothing. I just run WD on that machine now it's converted to W10.

You probably heard of all kinds of perils people allow themselves to fall in ? With some people even 10 AVs and other anti malware programs would not be enough. People knowing enough don't need as much but there are certain circumstances when some more layers are helpful. I used to evaluate a lot of SW from largely unknown authors and could never be sure what else would be in there. Used Sandboxee for some but not all would work in there.

Last couple of days, my sound icon has been unresponsive.
