Most of these users with single-digit posts are old registrations, seen from their join date under their name. Malwarebytes is a perfectly common security tool, suggested often on these forums and listed in the Newbie's Guide as a suggested application. There is zero reason to treat posters like they are suspicious simply because they don't have many posts. They are taking the time to report a potential security issue here when they aren't even regular posters. They could have come here and started screaming, cussing, threatening etc or ignored the issue altogether leaving us in the dark.
So thank you mdsjohna, thelastjay and whitefall. I don't have anything to do with the actual make-forum-work stuff but I'll drop a word and make sure the right people have seen this, since the early posts did leave it vague that we're talking about DB accounts, not WoW accounts.
