Malwarebytes and a 3G dongle


Chancer

Recommended Posts

G'day,

My brother has a laptop and a 3G dongle which is his only internet access. He is with O2 as his provider and uses their connection manager.

He has Malwarebytes installed. When he uses it as the free version everything works just fine.

If he installs a licence to Malwarebytes he can no longer access the internet.

He was visiting me recently and can access when wired.

I tried adding the connection manager program as an exception in Malwarebytes but that didn't help.

Any suggestion for him would be appreciated.

The upside to it the best part of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is free the scanner and removing malware is free,

If you have an AV running in the background there's no need for all that extra stuff using up process 24/7

I just run the free version every so often and it never finds nothing .. The only time Ive ever needed is if some kind software has addware in the installer and accidentally installed it. So the free is good enough for me .

I hope and doubt it isn't the case, but I've heard of infected 3G dongles before.

They were manufactured that way I believe.

More likely to be a false positive, but crazy things like that do happen.

So - if it is a false positive - what should he add to exceptions?
