MalwareBytes is the name of the company. You presumably mean
MalwareBytes AntiMalware. Yes, it's definitely worth downloading and
installing. It's the best anti-spyware program available.

> Is MalwareBytes free download worth installing?
I've used most anti-bad stuff programs including anti-virus ones.
My recommendations.
Use none of those, but do the following.
1.NEVER use the internet or use your email program as an admin.
Use only a limited user account.
2. Don't use the same password
3. Use common sense when visiting places.
" If you hang around a barbershop, you'll get a haircut."
4. Use noscript or similar program.
Don't get lazy with it.
5. If you have other people using the computer, disable all media and
also allow them to use only a L.U. acct.
6. Delete all cookies and only allowed trusted ones.
7. Make sure that Windows Firewall is on. Be judicious in the
exceptions you allow.
8. Monitor very closely what install programs do. Turn off automatic
updates, especially with any Windows O.S.
9. You can use devcon to shut down any device. All it takes is a
simple batch file to turn it on and off.
10. Use msconfig to see what's loading up. Many programs don't ask
permission when installing new services.
11. Have a great time. :-)

Together, as an initial joint offering, Sunbelt Software and
Malwarebytes have created a dedicated Website portal to offer consumers
free tools to clean systems which have become so infested with malware
that normal PC functions and performance are significantly hindered. The
portal is available at http://vipre.malwarebytes.org. In addition to
this initial first offering, the companies are also working together on
a broad range of initiatives for sharing information on emerging
threats, methods to mitigate risk, and other joint efforts.
"Sunbelt is honored to partner with Malwarebytes on this dedicated
cleaning portal, as well as future initiatives that address new and
emerging threat patterns facing consumers," said Alex Eckelberry, CEO of

I have a much better idea: don't use Windows. Use Linux with a NAT

Unfortunate as it is, the dangers presented by unprotected use of the
Internet are very real, and they are growing every day.
Please help to prevent system intrusions by spreading the word and
telling your Internet friends about these free services. They will
always be free, and they will be enhanced from time to time as other
security needs and problems arise. I'll be glad to drop you a short
eMail note when new solutions or significant improvements are made.

Malwarebytes is a top notch antimalware program recommended by many
users on a daily basis. It has over 3.4 million! downloads on cnet.com
I've copied the txt file I linked too above. Not for your benefit, BD;
but for the other readers.
Now then, as for you and your reputation...
BD was a user on the malwarebytes forums; but couldn't seem to
understand it's a family oriented site; He posted easter tit shots on
two seperate occasions, the first was deleted by an admin; He did it
again and has since been removed from the forums.
Also, I'm going to disclose that I'm a former employee of malwarebytes
in the definitions/malware research/antipiracy depts... BD has a
personal issue with me as I won't disclose any details further about
what I did for them. The guy believes it's a huge conspiracy.

Analyst's Diary
No good deed goes unpunished
Roel September 06, 2006
I think I speak for just about the entire security industry when I say
that I really value the work of the people who help out on security
forums. These people put in a lot of hard work and effectively it's
all voluntary.
Some of these people create tools to remove certain malware
families/types, and these tools will be very popular within the
communities that they belong too.
Recently the tools created by members of one community have proved so
popular that someone decided to copy them. Most of these tools are
scripts, which means that they can very easily be edited. Normally
editing is done to update the scripts so that they can detect new
malware. Sadly, in this case someone has basically copied the scripts
and put his own name to them.
This copying and taking credit for other people's work has been going
on for quite a while now. Normally ignoring such people is the best
course of action, so as not give them any (more) attention, but I
think a line has been overstepped.
'Pcbutts1' is actively promoting 'his' anti-malware tools which remove
a number of threats. This is what people see when they go to his very
recently updated downloads page.
The people listed on this page are well respected within the security
community and a number of them are actually Microsoft MVPs. It's
'pcbutts1' who is the fraud, not them.
Let's hope 'pcbutts1' grows up - and fast.

Roel, I think I speak for all when I say that yes PCBUTTS1 has
plagiarised his last piece of code. I thank you personally onbehalf of
my feiend and colleague David Lipman (listed on PCBUTTS1 page) for
making this public in the eyes of security vendors. For years he has
protested his innocence in vain in alt.comp.virus/alt.comp.anti-virus.

I too thank you for publishing this, Roel. It's long overdue that
pcbutts get more publicly exposed for the liar and plagiarist he is. I
would also like to mention that he is hosting and distributing several
well known software programs without proper licensing/consent, as well
as distributing quite a number of copyrighted, non-redistributable
files. My hope is that enough people see this blog, and others like
it, to begin completely ignoring and or rejecting his suggestions in
the newsgroups in which he trolls, in addition to more software
vendors and affected authors jumping on-board the impending class
action suit against him.
This person has for the last year or so has been laying claim to
several pieces of software which are used to fight malware. To just
name a few: SmithRem-Used against many of the SmithFraud\Zlob
infections.
NailFix- Used against Aurora\Nail infections.
RogueFix- Used against some variants of SmithFraud
There are others as well. Some of these people he has allegedly ripped
off are Microsoft MVPs.
When confronted he slanders his accusers, calls them vile names and is
overall not someone who you would trust. He changes his Whois info and
tries to hide his identity. He even began to offer help to users via
email to avoid any detection by the security community.
Some of the originators of these scripts are contemplating legal
action. But we all know how well that works on the Net.
The only other recourse is to try and shame him into doing the right
thing. But based on comments found via a Google search for pcbutts
it's an unlikely thing he will because it appears the right thing just
isn't in his genetic make up.
But you can do the right thing, by spreading the word about this
person. You can also do your part by complaining to the ISP hosting
his site at:
Mr. Scott Knowles
Interland Shared Abuse Department Interland, Inc.
303 Peachtree Center Avenue, Suite 500
Atlanta, GA 30303
voice: 404-260-2477, opt 9 (ext 5260)
ab...@interland.com
You are welcome to freely distribute this file to anyone via any
method you see fit. The more people who are informed of this code
thief, the better. His ISP has been contacted over his hosting
programs without permission and they seem to be ignoring us. Please
send them an email letting them know you do not approve hosting
websites that host other peoples programmes without permission. If
your a customer of Interland, please consider doing business with a
more ethical company in the future.

I can see you are an old and wise owl, here http://aumha.org/vsop.htm

At least 3 or 4 of the people shown on the members page are now
deceased, and I am missing from the page because the original site was
lost and the pages were replaced with older pages. It continues to be
used as the link for our group because there simply is no other
available any longer, and no one has the time or inclination to set it
up all over again. You'll find a more updated list of DTS-L members on
Kelly Theriot's site:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/dts_pics.htm
The VSOP page on aumha is also out of date by nearly 4 years, because
Jim does not have time to update it any longer...along with most of the
articles on-site. The forums are still active, especially the malware
forums, and we don't have time for updating static pages just to keep
you happy. ;-) You'll find at least one deceased member of DTS-L on
the VSOP page also...so what?
Amazing as it may seem to you, many web pages are not updated regularly
and may be years old...either because the info is static and not in need
of updating, or the page owners do not have the time to keep them
updated. That doesn't change the relevance of the info that is on the
pages.
It's this type of petty quibbling and nit-picking over irrelevant things
that caused a number of DTS-L members to leave the newsgroups in large
part and move to private web forums. Now the groups are an afterthought
as most users move to Microsoft and private web forums, so only a few
even appear here any longer. You'll recognize a few of them by that
outdated link in their signature....why don't you go bother them with
this non-issue?

I appreciate your comments Glen. It is much better to communicate than
simply ban someone from posting. On a number of occasions when I was
posting on the AumHa forums, threads were locked by 'the management'
without, IMO, good reason. Such action instils suspicion that all is not
quite as it should be.
I've visited many of the web sites illustrated here, btw.
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_dtsl_web_sites.htm
Lots of expertise and effort have gone into creating same, I'm sure.
Strange thing though - I have *never* seen any post on Aumha made by
Kelly Theriot, ever! However, I really do like what written at the
bottom of Jim's page, here! http://aumha.org/about.htm

No pictures. They used to work. Kelly has apparently moved some things

involved! :)

A birthday without the birth year is not very useful, in terms of
identity security. It really isn't a risk since the years are not
included.

I don't know anything about why you were banned....I was busy working
and never read any interchanges between you and Robear, or anyone else.
I don't know what he told you, or anything about what you refer to. As

When I said 'prime mover' I simply referred to him having made more
posts at Aumha than *anyone* else. More than 21000 last time I looked
(more than 10 times as many as you!).
As far as I can tell I evidently upset Robear and Bill Castner by
admitting that I was 'testing' an Enterprise (? Corporate) version of
Symantec Anti-Virus which had been 'lent' to me by one of the corporate
clients with whom I used to deal before I retired.
Funny things happen on the Internet. Here's a copy of the email message
I received from (supposedly) Jim Eshelman on 8 March 2008. Does the
language used seem in accord with the Jim you know and love?
Might you 'have his ear' perhaps, and ask if I may be reinstated now?
Just a thought! 8-)

Dave,
I have just disabled your account on AumHa.net. I will do some surgical
work to remove the contents of some of your posts.
You are permanently banned. There is no basis for appeal. I gave you
breaks and opportunities, and you abused them. I told you what you had
to avoid doing, and you did it anyway.
If we discover that you attempt to register on this forum under any
other identity, you will be disabled. Under those circumstances, I am

I don't have Jim's "ear", nor does anyone else at aumha at the moment.
He's been proprietor in absentia for some time now, due to heavy work
obligations. No one's been in touch with him on site issues in a long
long time. If Jim banned you permanently, he surely had his reasons (I
do not know them), and only he could change it. Since he has not
responded to messages in some time, I see no options there for you.

Thank you for your reply, Glen.
Do you consider still Aumha a 'safe' place for folk to go to seek
answers to their computing woes?
I noticed that there are many hundreds of 'members' who have 'signed up'
- but who have never made a single post. I find that odd, as one can
read messages posted without 'joining', an action only required if one
wishes to *make* a post.
Similarly, have you any reason to doubt the security of people who go to
Annexcafe User2User for advice on computing matters?
Thanks for sparing the time to satisfy my curiosity!

A safe place? Why would it not be a "safe place"? Most of the same
core group of moderators and users has been there for years. It is
probably "safer" than most help forums, inasmuch as the admins and
moderators keep very close track of spamming ans other issues. Your
question is very odd. The help supplied there in my opinion is much
more in-depth than many other forums I have visited or been involved
with.

So? Your point is what? People register at sites all the time and
don't post. many people register at multiple sites when they have a
problem, and post at the one that completes their registration first.
This seems particularly true for people with malware issues. Again, I
find your question odd and somewhat irrelevant.

I still don't know what you are getting at. What do you mean by "the
security of people" who go there? Annexcafe has its own newsgroups. I
have not used them, have never found any useful info that originated
there when doing a web or group search on an issue. I can't comment on
their groups other than to note that.....and the fact that their home
page plays some gawd-awful music when it loads, and I immensely dislike
pages that do that! :)

You are Trolling again as usual David. Leave people alone with your witch hunt for
bad people as you say. You have been hitting on everyone that does not know you and
answers to you with the same crap as you present it. Ahuma and Annexcafe and
Malwarebytes .They all threw you out (banned you ) for the same reasons. So did a
few other servers and at least one ISP. Robear will verify as will David
Lipman,Kelly, Steve (Cochran )and most MVP's that came in contact with.All of them
plonked you to this present day. Get a life already and stop beating a dead horse

Glen,
If you can spare a moment or two, I'd appreciate you taking a quick look
at this message <OMCdnZwVcflugmzR...@bt.com>
Is what Foldes says about having copies of all my posts, simply because
he has a server, realistic? Will he have copies of the posts made by
*everyone* on the Annexcafe server, simply because he (PF) has a server
too? Maybe it's just as he says. I'm simply curious!

It seems to me that a great deal of trust is required by those folk who
go there to have their machines 'cleaned'. Often 'unknown' software is
required to be downloaded onto a 'victim's' computer and instructions
carried out without any clue (by just about everyone!) what effect that
will have on their machine.
What a super ruse it would be - to clear a machine of everyone else's
'nasties' but then, perhaps, leave their own package installed on the
user's machine. No one would ever suspect, would they?

That is not true.
As I'm sure Dustin Cook will confirm, Malwarebytes was simply concerned
about me posting a saucy Easter Card for Dustin. No other reason AFAIK.

I wonder *why* you do not understand. <puzzled>
This has *never* been about wanting to be re-instated.
My concern has always been that I was banned simply for asking searching
questions - now why was that? Something to hide?

I'm sure they gave you a chance as I did, until you just kept asking

Yes, I *am* using my iMac. Why is that of relevance?
I was having a general *discussion* with Glen about how Aumha is set up
with regard to its Membership list. He knows about it because he is one
of their VSOP staff members. He did seem a little irritated though,
unnecessarily in my opinion. Do you know why that might be, Peter?
Anyway - How and why does that constitute 'trolling'?
glee
This is my last response to you. We have NOT been having a "general
discussion"...you started out trying to get me to find out for you why
you were banned by AumHa forums, then you went off on totally irrelevant
tangents about list members who have never posted. I already told you,
I was not involved in your banning, I did not follow your threads on
AumHa and don't know anything about your banning. I am a moderator and
user on the AumHa forums, NOT an administrator. I will not discuss any
administrative actions involving another forum, even if I was an
administrator. If you have an issue with your forum banning, take it up
with the forum admins, who are readily identifiable on the forum as they
are labeled as such.
I have every reason to be irritated, as I have already made it clear I
am not going to pursue this, and I am damn tired of you constant
"cross-examination." I can see now why you have been banned from
multiple forums.....and yes you ARE trolling, as you have pursued this
with numerous people on newsgroups and other forums for the past year or
more. You obviously do not know when enough is enough....but I do.

Maybe you should read my posts here, at what was Tom Coyote
My question was "Do you know much about Rootkits?, Can I check a CD to
see if it contains a rootkit?" (Note the date)
The folk at Annexcafe U2U were probably unaware that I was not simply
relying on advice from them - nor was I asking questions only on the
Microsoft Communities groups!

I must be a real disappointment to you, being so dumb an' all. :(
Just remember this, Dustin. It was Peter Foldes (via an email from Kuay
Tim) who *invited* me* to go to a private server - I would *never* have
known about Annexcafe otherwise. I *was* suspicious from the get go!
My take on this was it was to stop me asking questions about Cybercrime
'in public' as it were. They failed!

I don't understand why that would surprise you. Malwarebytes was kind
enough to delete the post for you the first time; although you'd been
annoying previously. When you did it again, for "fun."; You were
removed, although you've freely admitted to abusing network resources
and criminal computer tresspass (feel free to look it up, I wouldn't
bullshit you). to create another account. :)
If you weren't already banned, you would be. I'm sure the criminal
computer trespass goes a long ways towards proving what kind of scumbag
you really are. :)

A mixed bag? Indeed. You're trolling. Cute spin.

Yes, I know alot about rootkits. I know of a particular sony cd I'd
like you to put in your mac and your PC. Your mac won't give the disk
back and will require a teardown; and no, thanks to the mac design,
while the disc is present you can't use your mac. hehehe. Your PC will
have a nice rootkit which interferes with your optical drives abilities
to read audio. Sony got sued for this little stunt of course, and it
didn't cost them much; they apologized and issued several "fixes." the
first one didn't remove the rootkit at all; in fact, a real live virus
was written to exploit the rootkit and allow it to hide from the user.
Good ol Sony!

No. I keep my expectations low, so I'm never disappointed.

Was that your intention with trying to provide my address, BD? To get
me to shutup? That didn't work for Zvi Netiv or Martin Overton; I
smoked them both for the trouble.
Martin's program went to nothingness in a short time after the POC was
written. Zvi got a glowing review in PC magazine and I'm sure it cost
him shitloads. They both have me to thank for their snakeoil demise;
and I was only too happy to see them both go. Sure, invircible can
still be had, but it's marketshare is so low now, it's not even funny.
:) Martin OTH, went out of business outright. No more chekmate. It
wasn't worth the money in the first place, and neither is invircible.
You'll work your way into my cross hairs soon enough, BD.

Extract for you then! (2006 - remember that!)

I read about rootkits in connection with Sony. Is there any way for me
to check if the CD actually contains something "nasty"? (Nothing found
by virus scanning).
I'm suspicious for a couple of reasons other than just my having PC
being high-jacked. On close examination of the packaging sent by
(supposedly!) Microsoft, the Part Number printed on the packaging is
X10-72919 but on the disc label it is Part Number X10-80291. The disc
certainly looks genuine. However, in the centre (silver) part of the
disc is printed X10-58085! Not only that, but the address label is a UK
pre-paid 2nd-class business item. However, the address, at the end
(after my Postcode) says not Great Britain, but the German equivalent -
GROBBITANNIEN. Rather strange!
I have had contact with Systernals SysInternals . I helped their Bryce
Cogswel ("the man") investigate a false positive returned when I scanned
my machine a couple of weeks ago (and posted the result in their forum;
they asked me to help!). Of course this scanning tool inspects only the
Registry and cannot include the CD (at least I don't believe so). I
have, though, emailed Bryce to ask what I might do to check this CD.
Do you have any suggestions?
My thoughts turn to sending the CD to the detective on our high-tech
crime unit who discussed matters with me following the theft of my
identity (PayPal/eBay) last spring. (I'm pleased to say that I did get
my money back - eventually!).

There is, of course, more - in the thread! :)

I'm not interested. I am interested in what you have to say about
admitting to criminal computer trespass tho. :)
So for the record, what is your take on that?

I won't tell you. :)

Yes. I sure do. Ready? FOAD.

Again, I'm only interested in the criminal computer trespass activities
of yours. Anything you want to say about it?
~BD~
> You are stark raving mad.
*NO* - I'm not! :)
There is *no* sound heard at that URL using my iMac or, on a laptop
using XP Home and Firefox or Google Chrome.
However, on the same laptop, if I use IE8 or Opera I *can* hear music.
How strange is that?
Do you have an explanation, 'Hard and *very* Thick'?

I suspect the reason that you don't hear the sound(Telstar.rmi) when viewing
the site is that the HTML markup on that site is using the "BGSOUND" tag to
insert the .rmi file. The BGSOUND tag is a proprietary Microsoft Explorer
tag, both IE and Opera recognized the BGSOUND tag and therefore play the
sound.
If you want to hear the sound using a Browser other than IE, contact the
site owner and tell them to use the EMBED tag.
Good luck,

Hey! 8-) Thank you, Donald! Thanks a lot! :)
There's always a reason - for everything!
