Well, I got some support via the site and had a few programs removed.
One of those was malwarebytes.
Now on another forum I'm a part of (quite a large community site that is pretty hard on security for it's moderators) I was advised to use malwarebytes as a second tool to ensure my computer was safe.
The guy in the support session like I said removed it and said it was harmful.
A little confused and just wanted some peace of mind from someone here that can clarrify what exactly is bad about that program? I doubt I was misled by the site I've been a part of for several years... but you never can tell.
