    You do not run malwarebytes in linux.
    First what operating system is on the eeepc? If you've never seen anything like it, then it is probably linux.

    Rather than downloading programs designed for windows, you get thing added by using repositories (a fancy name for servers containing linux programs).

    I have an eeepc and you do not need VLC. I'm able to play movies and see video online fine by using the installed player on my eeepc.

    Please do not download anything more. You will have unnecessary and unusable programs designed for windows filling up the hard drive or ssd.
