MALWAREBYTES GOOGLE WEB DATA PUP DOWNLOAD
I'm not sure what else I might be doing wrong? Perhaps what I used to do in the past that worked is not sufficient for the new ITW viruses and malware methods?ģ) Freeware - I'm a strong believer in open source, so I do download a lot of free softwares.
MALWAREBYTES GOOGLE WEB DATA PUP HOW TO
At this point, I've already changed my email password, so the only way I can think they would have gotten access to my account are these:ġ) Facebook Games - nope - I don't allow or install or participate in facebook games or apps.Ģ) Clicking on a suspicious email - maybe, but I consistently delete without reading, and never click on links, suspicious emails including ones with no header, adult content, foreign characters (it'd be nice if Yahoo could figure out how to filter emails with kanji in the title and send it to spam for me! - I did some cursory research into matching kanji/hirigana to ASCII characters, but didn't find any clear answers), and "Spanish Prisoner" please. Moving on then, we forward to about 2 weeks ago when out of the blue the mass spamming from my email account starts up again. Perhaps real-time malware protection WAS ALWAYS A PREMIUM OPTION? OTOH, the fact that I'm frustrated and upset from chasing this for over a week now on my only computer may be clouding my memory. 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.
