    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.

        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.

      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

      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.
