  1. Thanks you for the rapid response, which is re-assuring. I attach the file as requested. I was finding that Picasa (started using the attached file) was running very slowly. The detection resulted in some difficulties with file 'permissions' and I ended up not only putting the requisite directory in 'exclusions', but finally temporarily disabled Malwarebytes Anti-ransomware (latest Beta). (I have yet to re-boot that machine with the file excluded and Anti-ransomware re-enabled. The file came from an exact mirror copy on my second PC) When I did disable MB anti-ransomware Picasa very definitely functioned much more quickly. I wondered if the fact that I was adding photo captions (and so writing into existing files) might be causing some alert???? Any comments or advice most welcome. PicasaStarter.zip
  2. Just had a report that ransomware activity was seen in PicasaStarer.exe - a small programme available on the internet, used to start Picasa with a separate/network-based database. The computer concerned has barely been connected to the internet for a few days and this programme has been present and intermittently in use for months. There is no sign of any file encryption. I strongly suspect this is a false positive. Apart from whitelisting the programme file, how should I proceed?
