How'd They Know?
When you go to malwarebytes.org, their download link redirects to a site marked "red" in McAfee SiteAdvisor, brother something dot com I think. Since I didn't want to risk anything, I went on TSG and did a search for MBAM because I know the link is posted rather often and I assume they post clean links here.

So I found this thread.

And I'm stumped, how did the admin figure out so quickly they couldn't help that user? I mean I can't figure it out, and now I'm curious.

Maybe the poster sent a PM rather than declare it on the forum?

Oh. I was thinking it was some ninja trick deciphering a line in the Hijack log.
