Malwarebytes question

15 years ago

I finally downloaded and ran Malwarebytes this morning. It showed 3 items that I told it to delete. Then I restarted my computer as instructed 'to complete the process'. When I look under the quarantined tab, it shows all 3 items there. Do I just leave them there, or do I instruct the program to delete them?

Thanks,

Shirley

    My standard answer to users who are unsure of the exact identity of the removed items regardless of removing application is to leave the items quarantined for a couple of days to be certain they are not something necessary that has been accidently removed. If after that time the user is convinced they are unwanted go ahead and delete them.

    Thanks, DA. I am one of the 'unsure' so will leave them alone for a while.

    that is the standard way malwarebytes works so just leave it that way. They can not bother anything in quarantine so just leave them there. that way if for any reason someone from a help forum needs to know what was done you will be able to access that info.
