Thanks for your replies guys. When I posted to this forum I posted to the MBAM forum also. Please see the reply to my post there.

According to the Malwarebytes post, they arent using the definitions legally? Anyone know if thats true, or does nobody care.

The fact that that WOT flagged up the manufacturers with a red warning and they are using other companies' definitions illegally does not sit comfortably with me when using a 'security' program.

@Ted45,

Here is an illegal beta herdprotect antii-malware scanner mentioned: https://www.herdprotect.com/herdprotect-anti-malware-scanner-1.0.3.6-beta.exe-d0297fb529b26d7e4fdd1f93964876dc5d198d10.aspx
Illegal versions are found in adware bundles.
This is an illegal scam version, possibly with malware: https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/herdprotect.findmysoft.com?utm_source=addon&utm_content=popup
So look hard to see that you have the real McCoy.
Minus is the relative high FP content,

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!
