  1. Running Malwarebytes 3.0.6.1469 and did a manual check for definition updates. Closed Malwarebytes after it appeared definition updates was performed. I then maximized my Firefox browser and starting to browse websites when my computer suddenly flashed the Restarting blue screen. I was not given any previous notice or any ability to decline any Restart. I had tabs open in Firefox as well as open programs. Everything was automatically closed. To verify that Malwarebytes did this I checked the system logs and seen this event at the time of the restart: The process C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\mbamservice.exe (DESKTOP) has initiated the restart of computer DESKTOP on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: Legacy API shutdown Reason Code: 0x80070000 Shutdown Type: restart Comment: Perhaps this is ultimately a Windows 10 issue to allow the machine to close all open programs and lose your work without any notice or ability to decline or accept, but it was Malwarebtyes that initiated the request. Why did Malwarebytes do this to a machine that was actively being used? And without any notice? This is the first time I've experienced such an issue but it's a tad inconvenient to lose your work and place for a forced, unannounced, restart!
  2. Thanks, I just posted a new thread in that section with the requested details: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=105716
  3. A recent update to Malwarebytes appears to be triggering a possible False Positive with a program called Npjpeg.exe, an old command-line based utlity for checking jpegs for corruption. This program has been in use for a few years without being detected by Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes is reporting 3 files as Trojan.Agent, but it appears it's the same file (npjpeg.exe) as it's also being flagged in system restores. Attached is a ZIP of the 3 files as well as an output log of Malwarebytes running in developer mode. mbam.zip
  4. Malwarebytes recently downloaded a new update and when ran, it detected Trojan.Agent in two files. One of the files, a command-line utility used for checking jpgs name npjpeg.exe, shows the last date of modification was in 2009. The program does show being created last month, and that was because I moved the file to another hard drive when doing a system backup without files. Previous versions of Malwarebytes has never flagged this program before. Screen capture of the npjpeg.exe file details: The other file that Malwarebytes flagged, names A0555305.exe and located in the System Volume Information directory, appears to be related to the npjpeg.exe as they share the same file details. Screen capture details of the other file flagged as Trojan.Agent: Is this a false positive? How does one make sure? I also ran SuperAntiSpyware, which did not flag these files.
