Hello, This program is detected as PUP.Optional (or "Potentially Unwanted Program") because it displayed certain criteria that we describe as potentially unwanted. See here for more: https://www.malwarebytes.com/pup/ If you want to keep the program, please have MBAM ignore these detections (uncheck them when you see them, and click "Ignore Always" when prompted), and add the folders to MBAM's exclusion list. If you represent the company and would like the program re-evaluated, please contact pup@malwarebytes.com from a company email address. All correspondence will proceed through there. Best regards,

Hi again, Could you please update your MBAM database, run a Threat Scan, and post the log here? Added some goodies that should help.

Hi BreadmanYan, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Having a look and will be back with you presently. Best,

Sherlock, Can you please delete this folder, reboot, and see if the problem persists? C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Epic Privacy Browser Thank you,

Hello, Can either of you provide a scan log from MBAM showing the detection? I installed your addon but am not getting any detection on my end.

Hello, This should no longer be detected. Can you update your database and confirm on your end? Thank you for reporting.

For the record, the site still exists, but the program does not. That's an FP by BitDefender.

Hello blossom and welcome to the forums. Our Research Team has been monitoring this application for some time and has decided to add detection based on triggers against our PUP detection criteria. https://blog.malwarebytes.com/malwarebytes-news/2016/10/malwarebytes-gets-tougher-on-pups/ The detection is correct and not a false positive. We will continue monitoring this application and if we notice a change in the behavior we will review it again. If for whatever reason you want to continue using Advanced SystemCare, you can simply uncheck the detections and click Next after a scan with MBAM, and the prompt will ask you if you want to "Ignore Once" or "Ignore Always". If you Ignore Always it won't be detected any more.

Please see blender's response above if you have any further questions about this topic. Due to the nature of the responses as of late, I'm locking this thread. For all who come across this topic, unless the poster has "Malwarebytes Staff" in their signature, they are not a Malwarebytes employee.

Hello paradoxical, The detection is correct. In this case, the software is a potentially unwanted program, or PUP. You can read more here: If you wish to continue using those programs, add them to the MBAM exclusion list and they will no longer be detected. Best regards,
