I have recently downloaded MFME ( All in one ) from this site.

I would like everyone to be aware that once downloaded and installed it appears to heavily infect the PC with various types of malware. All of these where quarantined and removed by SuperAntispyware. A few weeks ago I submitted support tickets to the site on 2 separate occasions, for further advise. I am very disappointed  that I have had no response. This may be a matter of security. Anyone please advise.

It is safe, some virus progs will detect mfme (especially 3.2) as a keylogger.

As it is sitting waiting for a key to be pressed.

Avg & malwarebytes are the main ones, it is a false positive.


False positives.

beat me to it lol

Hi Radar,

 I understand your concern, however it is known that MFME 3.2 does show up as a false positive on many virus checkers. It can give the impression of suspect script error. If that is the case then ignore 3.2 and use 3.1. However if that is not the case could you give more details please as to what kind of virus infection and to which of the files you have found infected.

Many thanks.

Regards

        Ricardo.

 

You 2 beat me to it!!!!!!!

Yeah, MFME 3.2 comes up with false positive malware/virus for at least 73% of the antivirus softwares that are out there, with 27% keeping it positive.

Even AntiVir Antivirus brings it up as a Malware/Backdoor Trojan (but just ignored it)

3.1 will run most, if not all, the stuff that 3.2 runs.

Very bad when playing a tasteless game involving a digestive biscuit.

I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials as an anti-virus program. It has a tiny footprint, integrates seamlessly, does not impact on the performance of your machine and doesn't false positive MFME 3.2

And also does not detect virus until you try to open the file.

You can schedule scans and kick off ad hoc scans as often as you wish. It also scans files being downloaded to the machine and I would rather just that than permanently sucking the juice out of the CPU in the background. I had Symantec once and McAfee. Never ever ever again. Machine runs like a dog and anti-virus takes over. Not for me.

Absolutely Alth, combined with MSE just in case. I seriously cannot believe how some of the major players such as Symantec get away with the crappy offerings. I bought a new PC earlier this year with Symantec pre-installed. don't worry the sales assistant said, it's much better than it used to be. Bollocks was it. Took 4 minutes for 70 emails to come through. Replaced with MSE and down to 20 seconds.

Mcafee and symantec can both piss off no end of trouble with those two.

But don't uninstall Chrome as it may knacker your registry when it leaves all it's custom registry entries - just don't use it :).

 

I'd add Norton to the list of pointless A/V products (in my opinion). We get a bunch of home user machines with that bloatware installed and they're usually stuffed with viruses and malware...

Never liked Chrome. Norton I believe is written by Symantec, thought they were synonymous with each other, in other words, they are both shite.
