  1. I scanned the file and it's not detected locally. 

    Our engine format and configuration in VirusTotal is different than our products' default configuration. In VirusTotal we use a command-line engine with more aggressive detection techniques and heuristics which might detect more than the commercial product. This is the norm with most if not all other antivirus vendors in VirusTotal.

    Thanks for reporting.

    These discrepancies typically solve themselves over time, as our files processing and engine training backend picks these files up and marks them as goodware, and VirusTotal clears their cache and re-scans those files.

    The scanner that we have in VirusTotal is a command-line version of the Malwarebytes engine, which is very different in nature than the Desktop product that all our customers install.

    In addition, the command-line scanner in VirusTotal has some aggressive heuristics enabled which are not enabled in the Desktop product. Also, our Desktop product includes some additional whitelisting checks which are not present in the command-line version.

    In summary, certain heuristic detections from VirusTotal do not necessarily reflect the detections end-users would see from the Desktop version of Malwarebytes. This is not specific for Malwarebytes, as many other antivirus vendors in VirusTotal have a similar situation, where their VirusTotal cmdline scanner enables aggressive heuristics which are disabled by default in the Desktop product.

  4. There is an issue where VT sometimes has problems reaching our cloud and this might be one of those times. Not to mention, our engine format and configuration in VirusTotal is different than our products' default configuration. In VirusTotal we use a command-line engine with more aggressive detection techniques and heuristics which might detect more than the commercial product. This is the norm with most if not all other antivirus vendors in VirusTotal. For more information please read https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/288906-virustotal-only-detections-not-detected-in-desktop-product/.

    I whitelisted it and ran a scan with MBAM to double check. The file is not detected locally despite what VT shows.

    Can you have your client re-run a scan on the file? 

    Thanks.
