Malwarebytes Brand Exploited Through Search

[LoneWolf]

From Marcin Kleczynski.............

It’s not often that I search for the term Malwarebytes on Google. I know how to get to my own company’s website by typing it into the address bar. However, when a friend or family member asks me how to get to our website, I almost always instruct them to search.

Unfortunately, there exists a market where bad people benefit by preying on our users. They create websites which advertise that they distribute Malwarebytes and instead, download a product of their own onto our user’s machine.

This isn't exactly new, but yeah, it sucks when it happens. On the flip side, it's easily avoidable even by the dumbest of users.

Of course. MBAM does a good job at removing malware. Some people don't like that
