No worries, thank you for taking the time to get to the bottom of it.

I've included a print screen of what I see in Quarantine, if that's any use to you.

 

Thanks again,

I'm very confused then. I noticed it said no action taken, but the file is listed as quarantined by Malwarebytes.

Nothing that sticks out to me as strange. My worry was that perhaps I had downloaded those Realtek audio drivers from a bad source, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Shall I leave the file quarantined and make a false positive thread? Thanks once again for your time.

Thanks for your reply. I've been having trouble with the spam filter, so I've only attached the .txt files. If you would rather I copy paste, I can try again. Thanks again for taking the time.

Hi Kevin

[Is the spam filter meant to be this zealous?]

I literally can't reply to anything without triggering it. Posting scan logs, general "thank you"s, even a blank reply triggered it. Is this deliberate?

Hi

 

The following showed up in a routine scan (attached). Never had anything like it in years of using Malwarebytes, and am unsure how to proceed. I use this PC for gaming and streaming, have only downloaded realtek audio drivers and Dashlane since the last scan that came up clean. Any advice would be appreciated, hopefully its a false positive. Many thanks.
