    Thank you to all. I keep this going to take the smallest sliver of the load off our true heroes - @mood and the administrators/moderators who keep this site's cyber security, uptime, & overall quality of this forum at world class.

    While I appreciate the effort (thanks!), I would prefer an RSS feed from Malwarebytes themselves.

    (I could "automate" stuff using such a feed)
