Pharming
I use Trend Micro security suite and while checking the Security dashboard for any activity, I noticed that I have had 3 separate incidences of Web Threats. Rather than listing the name of the site or whatever it is that it found as a threat, it just lists the time/date and a dash.

I checked the Trend logs and the incident name and it just says "pharming".

The three times have occured while I was on a realestate site and twice on Myspace. Should I be worried about it and do I need to supply any logs?

I would appreciate any answers and help I can get.

Thank you.

I read it but I am really confused about what it is that I am supposed to be looking for.

I'm not sure if I should be concerned since I was not on any banking sites or anything. I didn't notice anything different when it was supposed to have occured.

I really don't understand how to read my logs on here so I really don't know what all the numbers and abbreviations mean or what is right or wrong so I can't check to see if anything has been changed or accessed.

Thanks for answering me though.

I have another problem/question.

Today when I went to update MalwareBytes Anti-Malware after it had finished it just said that it had updated and had added so many fingerprints (I don't remember the actual wording) so I updated again and it did what it normally did and that was say that it had updated to some number version.

However, Trend Micro popped up with a yellow box saying that MBAM was suspicious. It has never done that before so I blocked it, then checked the version number which is 1.38.

I googled it and it seems to be the newer version. Then this afternoon I went to scan with it and Trend Micro again popped up with a red box this time saying it was dangerous or something along them lines.

When I checked my Trend for unauthorized changes it says MBAMSwissArmyProgram. It lists it as windows\system32\drivers\mbamswissarmy. sys.

Is this a legitimate part of Malware Bytes that I can be assured is nothing harmful or is there something up with it.
