Rebooted... all is well. Again, thanks for the prompt replies.

exe is over 5mb in size... over 3mb when compressed. I've uploaded to rs... here's the link and hash. http://rapidshare.com/files/269188976/MC.rar.html MD5: 309960292ED5DD199BA6D710FA9B8DB2 Please let me know when you have it so I can kill the link. Posting on Collectorz site... http://www.collectorz.com/phpbb2/viewtopic...3f153f37a4b7e95 Further, MBAM identifies the file as the Rogue.AstrumAntiVirus I've been using Collectorz.com products for over 8 years. I can tell you there is no 'crap' in their exe. Thanks for the prompt attention. Ya, I'm just whining about have to disable IP Protection upon EVERY startup, rather than an internal or registry setting.

Protection module continues to flag the above file. Each time Windows starts (XP SP3) starts, and upon starting the application, a MBAM popup occurs flagging the file as being malicious. Note, this does NOT occur upon a scan, and so nothing shows up in a log (see below). Further, despite my adding the file to Ignore, nothing shows up under the Ignore section either. As an aside, shame to see a fine app changing for the worse (IMO). Adding IP protection is just asking for trouble. Particularly since HostsMan already addresses this, and its free.
