[Temporary install files created with InstallMate installer]

Sunriseal,

 

The problem that A. Carwile and I experienced was for InstallMate -- specifically, the UNinstaller (and related files) used by WinPatrol.   This issue has indeed been addressed/fixed as I noted above.

 

When you mentioned "a bunch of InstallMate files", I assumed (perhaps erroneously) that you were referring to precisely the same issue [and nothing more].    When you subsequently posted your log, it then became clearer that your issue was SweetPacks/SweetIM and Conduit --- you'll note that InstallMate is not mentioned in your log at all.

 

As miekiemoes mentioned, SweetPacks and Conduit are a different matter (than InstallMate/WinPatrol).

I was reporting the SAME issue as u folks did... the log posted was AFTER I had run the database update15.1 which did fix the InstallMate issue... see my post from a few minutes ago... should explain all..

sunriseal,

 

Your detections are no False Positives, but PUP detections.

PUP means, Potentially Unwanted Program, so this isn't malware.

Please see here: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=130207

You are aboslutely correct. Sorry for the "false alram"...

 

After a decent nite's sleep (needed badly) I ran MB again and removed those PUP detections and all is now good.

 

Those files have been on my system for some time and after last nite's database it suddenly reported them (had not with prior database update afew hours earlier). All that coupled with the false positive an hour or so earlier and lack of sleep contributed to the 'perfect storm'.. <grin

Looks like the issue has been FIXED with the release of database 2013.08.15.1

I just updated the database to 2031.08.15.1 and things are now MUCH WORSE...

 

Now indicates 27 lines

 

Looks differentr than the earlier one.. perhaps not a false positive???

A. Carwile:

 

Your installmate files come from WinPatrol.   I just received a similar detection, with MBAM database 2013.08.14.08.

 

 

4BB7A109-FDB5-45E3-9DB9-ECB2EA7B80EE refers to WinPatrol 28.0.2013.0

A62F9CD0-B2E0-4F2A-88F2-79254A3C8539 refers to WinPatrol 26.1.2013.0

 

 

"The files in this folder are required for a clean update or removal of the above product. Please do not delete them".

OK... so what do I do with that info.... ?

This is a False Positive indeed and will be fixed in next database update. Thanks for reporting!

 

Just started reporting a bunch of InstallMate files... I am sure there has been a database update since this was reported....

 Where do we go from here?
