![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe some thing slipped through.īut I don’t understand why something in the Chrome folder affected the Iron Portable browser. The only thing I can think of is that I’ve recently upgraded to the latest version of IRON portable, and I haven’t yet configured AdBlocker-Plus, or Ghostery, or DoNotTrackMe to the way I had them before the upgrade. I’ve got things so buttoned down on this thing that even desired stuff sometimes gets blocked and I have to unblock it. So it was, in fact, on my machine but I’d sure like to know how. Once it was removed, and I closed and re-opened Iron Portable, it was gone. Yet it found the cookie in the Chrome folder. …and, even more weirdly, the tracking cookie was in the copy of Chrome on this machine, yet I’m using the Chromium Iron Portable browser. …this after even database updates to SuperAntiSpyware, Comodo Internet Security, found nothing and a several days old Malware Bytes database found nothing. On a hunch, I updated Malware Bytes’ database and only it found a weird ad tracker cookie that seemed to make it go away… I'm not sure if this is enough to make a dent in the market, as most techs that I know prefer their own custom solutions when it comes to removing malware from computer systems. The main appeal of Techbench comes in the form of the automation that it provides, and its license model. I will update the article as soon as I hear back from the company. Especially if Windows needs to be running on infected PCs to run the tool at all, or if it comes with its own operating system that it runs from independent from the underlying operating system of the computer. Note: I have contacted Malwarebytes to find out more about the solution. There are other programs on the other hand that you can use instead to clean PCs, and it may work very well in this case. The core advantage over Malwarebytes Techbench solution is that you can use software that runs on different operating systems, or can be run before the PC starts the infected operating system. There may be ways around this restriction, for instance by installing Malwarebytes for the user on an infected PC, but that does not work on company PCs. ![]() This means that it is not possible to use the free Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free or Pro to clean infected PCs in a business context. ![]() Since it is a business product, it is assumed that it is used in a business environment. The real question though is if it is worth the money, or if it makes more sense to create your own custom malware fighting stick instead. It sounds expensive at first, but it does not use the one license per PC model of regular Malwarebytes business products. The product costs $399.95 per year as an introductory price, and regularly $499.95. Chameleon is a technology that gets the program running on infected systems (when malware has been designed to block popular anti-malware products for example). It can restart the PC automatically to complete the malware removal process, and will install copies of Malwarebytes AntiMalware and Chameleon on the system afterwards. The program saves the logs to the drive, and quarantined files as well. According to the product page, this all happens in silent mode without user interaction. The stick will automatically run software to scan for infections and remove malicious software that was detected during the scan. It is a portable anti-malware USB stick that is fully compatible with all recent versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system.Īccording to the product description, it works by plugging it in infected computer systems. Malwarebytes launched Techbench two days ago. If you do tech support regularly, you probably have at least one self-burned DVD or USB Flash Drive with you at all times containing security software that helps you troubleshoot and repair PC issues. It all depends on the issue the user is experiencing. ![]()
