    Greetings,

    I'm not familiar with Android Studio, however I did notice that when it shows it trying to download files according to the log info you posted, it is trying to connect to 127.0.0.1 which is the loopback IP address, meaning it is literally connecting directly back to your own system.  If it is trying to download files from the web, it won't possibly be able to do so connecting to that IP.  If you are using some kind of proxy, alternate DNS or HOSTS file then that could be interfering with the connection and causing this issue.  It doesn't appear to be an issue with Malwarebytes blocking it (which makes sense since you said the downloads were failing before you purchased Malwarebytes).

    With all of that said, if you have reason to believe that your system is infected by malware then please read and follow the instructions in this topic and then create a new topic in our malware removal area by clicking here and one of our malware removal specialists will assist you in checking and cleaning your system of any threats.

    Thank you for the reply.

    You can close this subject now, and I will add my issue with the "127.0.0.1:8118" as you suggest.

    If you are using the pad version of Malwarebytes the exclude the android program folder and also exclude the exe. file under programs that connect to the internet.

    Before you do that, Quit Malwarebytes from the system tray and try Android studio again. If it still does not work, It is Not a MB issue.

    ... And I am not saying it's an MB issue, I am asking for help what I can do to detect the malware using MB. I purchased MB a few months ago just because of this problem on my laptop, and I thought MB could detect what the problem is.

    Thank your for your answer.

    Do you mean like this in the screenshot? I added the locations there, as you said, (the exe and the whole folder), I restarted the laptop, I started the Android Studio, wanted to make build of the project and I got the same error again.

    Hello,

    I need assistance in finding out what is happening on my laptop. The daily scans of MB are not showing any malware, but still something is going on, and I don't know what that is.

    If it is of any help for you, it is happening in Android Studio, when it tries to download gradle files. The exact message I am getting is the following:

    > Could not get resource 'https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/aapt2/3.3.2-5309881/aapt2-3.3.2-5309881-windows.jar'.
          > Could not GET 'https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/aapt2/3.3.2-5309881/aapt2-3.3.2-5309881-windows.jar'.
             > Connect to 127.0.0.1:8118 [/127.0.0.1] failed: Connection refused: connect

    The strange thing is that I can download the files through a browser, but the Android Studio can't seem to do that. (I don't have any proxies set and I have tried this with different versions of Android Studio)

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Excellent, I'm glad you were able to get them working together.  Yes, the issue with Kaspersky only showed up in their most recent update, build 'e' of the 2020 version, however Malwarebytes' and Kaspersky's developers are working on the issue to find a solution.

    Just FYI, I am working with MB and Avira at the moment (no Kaspersky installed), and I can live with that for now.

    But I hope the issue will be resolved in the near future.

    @exile360 p.s. I have this application C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Easy Setting Box\EasySettingBox.exe which is started every time I start my laptop and which searches for the connection to my Samsung monitor and connects the laptop to the monitor. (it starts every time after logging in to my account, regardless of whether the monitor is cable-connected to my laptop or not). Is it possible that it makes some kind of trouble together with MB? I am not sure here if it's a good idea to uninstall this application and eventually try installing MB again and activating the premium and then seeing if it works well. Could your development team somehow find out if these two applications actually interfere when both installed?

    @exile360 I reinstalled it, entered my activation key for Premium, and the option just checked itself out. And then I uninstalled the application again (in safe mode), as I got the usual problems with Internet Explorer and Google Chrome of not being able to start (e.g. click on Chrome and the application does not start at all, there are only background processes active). It's like MB just causes complications on my computer.

    Hello and Welcome @Maja_

    Sorry your having issues.  For starters you need to remove the Compatibility Setting you have for mbam.exe 

    
C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\mbam.exe          [RUNASADMIN]

     

    @Firefox Thank you for your answer. But please be more specific - where is this "Compatibility Setting" in mbam.exe? I don't see it in the "Dashboard" or "Settings" tab in the application.
