Thanks Porthos

Its bizarre how it wasn't a threat in the old version of excel but is now. S

Sorry....no. Doesn't help. (I've also restarted ) I managed to find a threat in the list and added it.....but it still blocks my program. Steve

Done

No - just on my PC I've tried adding my website address as an exclusion too.....still no luck. I've investigated further and its not the login that's the issue its the following The offending code seems to be this:- Code follows----- myfile = "http://www.veloc.co.uk/velocfiles/secfiles/hello.txt" result = URLDownloadToFile2(0, myfile, ThisWorkbook.Path & "\hello.txt", 0, 0) 'Check if the file downloaded successfully and if it exists. If result = 0 Then 'And Not Dir(FilePath, vbDirectory) = vbNullString Then 'MsgBox "Success!" Set fshere = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set a = fshere.openTextFile(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\hello.txt") teststring2 = a.readline a.Close Kill ThisWorkbook.Path & "\hello.txt" Else GoTo nointernet End If and the report says -Exploit Data- Affected Application: Microsoft Office Excel Protection Layer: Malicious Memory Protection Protection Technique: Exploit code executing from Heap memory blocked File Name: URL: http://www.veloc.co.uk/velocfiles/secfiles/hello.txt hello.txt simply contains one line with a version number.....it reads this then closes and deletes the downloaded file. If the version number is not the same as in the local file then it prompts for the user to update. Steve

Thanks for the reply Porthos Unfortunately when I go there it's empty.

Hi I have an application in excel VBA. It requires users (including myself when testing) to login to my webserver to validate id as a valid user. Everything was ok until I upgraded to office 2016 on my PC but now Malwarebytes refused to run the program flagging it as an exploit. I've tried adding the folder containing the excel file, the file itself and even excel.exe as exclusions but the damn thing still will not run unless I turn off exploits altogether. How can I add my own vba application as an exclusion? Steve
