Malwarebytes Premium (which I have used for years) has suddenly started blocking me opening a specific Macro-Enabled Excel Spreadsheet. I've opened this on multiple occasions including as recently as last week. The error message it now provides is:
This is a false positive.
I can only assume that Malwarebytes has changed something in their detections in the last 2 or 3 days that produces this false positive.
How can I fix this issue? Under "Detection History", when I click on "Allow List" to see if I can manually allow this it doesn't let me do so (I click "Add", then "Allow a previously detected exploit (advanced)" then on the next screen it lists "No exploits detected"). Help please! Thanks
