no. no need to worry.

honestly I no longer recommend MalewareBytes, because Windows defender has gotten good enough for most people now. 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

defender has a lot of false positives in my experience, mwb is more reliable imo, i think mwb (free*) + defender is the best combo tbh.

 

*because the paid version is much too intrusive and thus worse, and thats why you need defender, for "real time stuff" .

Thats a bit vague, do you still have the files? If yes, upload some to virustotal and see what it says.
