Leythos - I've seen all your fights with pcButts et al.
Please explain why you didn't direct the original poster, VJS, to
cnet/Download.com, which is
advertised as *the* download site on the Malwarebytes web site
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
Surely if the staff at Malwarebytes deem it satisfactory, that will be better
than going through a
third party? I agree that VJS should try the facility, but I'd recommend he go
here:-
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
You said yourself "Always remember - only download files from Trusted Sites"
Are you 100% certain that BleepingComputer.com can be trusted?
If so ......... just *how* do you know?
TIA
Dave
