Rogue scanners are never good!!! Rogue scanners are a category of scam software sometimes referred to as scareware. Rogue scanners masquerade as antivirus, antispyware, or other security software, claiming the user's system is infected in order to trick them into paying for a full version. Sometimes even infecting your machine and rendering it useless!!! After he scans with Malwarebytes Anti-malware(MBAM). I would suggest that he should click on the link below and register to post at LandzDown to verify that he is clean and free from any infection.
bbbluz, So far the scan is showing nothing. Could it have disabled the MWB? He is only doing the quick scan but will do a full scan when he goes to bed. It seems to be jumping around on the scan (different areas)..is this normal? Dar
Hm...Jumping around??? Sounds ok! Mine does that,too! Let us know what the full scan finds if anything. Sometimes these rogue programs will actually infect you. I'd still post a log at LandzDown, even if the scan shows nothing!!!!! Malicious content is very advanced these days!!! LandzDown has the ability to run scans that regular scanners can't find, and the expertise to clean the machine, if needed.
