It's available at best buy stores, in the retail brick and mortar
building on the shelf beside the other antivirus apps/suites.

Indeed, but you can download malwarebytes from known reputable sources,
such as cnn.com. [g]

No they aren't. Idiots like you put them on a pedalstal tho. Because
this machine in front of you is magical. you don't understand that it's
all based on sound logic and science.

cnn.com, various antivirus companies labs, and one chinese outfit; they
thought so highly of what they found, they copied it for their own
program.

How's crow taste, David?

Yep. I had the wrong store.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is now moving into retail stores in addition
to our online sales. If you would like to own a Malwarebytes' Anti-
Malware retail box, you can find them at a Fry's Electronics store or
on the Fry's website. Note: the boxes are selling out very quickly.
Please check the website for availability near you.

Also, feel free to post a picture of yourself with the box in your hand
and post it here :welcome:. Below are a few pictures of our retail box
in our office in San Jose, California.

Do you want to go ahead and write a formal apology now?

Well,

you can write one to malwarebytes for trying to slime their excellent
product. It's been peer reviewed to hell and back, nothing bad ever
found. A stand up fellow as you want people to think you are, shouldn't
have any trouble admitting he was wrong about them and apologizing here
in public for the comments and innuendo remarks towards their fine
program.

You can then write one to me, for trying to provide a streetmap view of
my house, and for trying to insinuate that I was lying about
malwarebytes in any possible fashion. You may also apologize for trying
to imply I was in any way directly associated with the piratebay.

You do these things, and make it convincing, and perhaps the remailer
wont' drop the dime on you, but I make no promises as you have tried to
hurt a lot of people and I'm on the fence as to whether or not it would
be grey area or blackhat to help them make things right.

cock up? for? getting the wrong store? My bad..

point is tho, I did get the right information instead of posting in
alt.comp.freeware that I couldn't find it in any stores. Implying that
dustin was somehow lying about it.

> Nobody is perfect Dustin - not even you! ;-)

David,

Spin all you like, fact is; malwarebytes is in stores, and it is
reputable. Oh, and uhh, you couldn't find the stores.

I'd really like to believe that is true.

It was a serious question. How can a member of the public check whether
or not what you claim is true? There is certainly no mention of
Malwarebytes when searching the NSA website:-
http://www.nsa.gov/applications/sear...q=Malwarebytes

Is there a straight-forward way to ask the NSA directly?

You are *wrong* about that - IMO.

One has absolutely no idea what is actually loaded onto one's computer
when one presses the 'Download' button! At least one may check a
commercial CD/DVD /before/ loading the software. That's my take anyway.
