Hello Victorian1899,
Not a great deal in those logs, continue:
Please download the attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop or location where you ran FRST from.

NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST or FRSTEnglish, and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on this particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system that cannot be undone.

Run FRST or FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
If the tool needs a restart please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt) or wherever you ran FRST from. Please attach or post it to your next reply.

Note: If the tool warned you about an outdated version please download and run the updated version.

NOTE-1: This fix will run a scan to check that all Microsoft operating system files are valid and not corrupt and attempt to correct any invalid files.

NOTE-2: As part of this fix all temporary files will be removed. If you have any open web pages that have not been bookmarked please make sure you bookmark them now as all open applications will be automatically closed. Also, make sure you know the passwords for all websites as cookies will also be removed.

The following directories are emptied:
  Windows Temp Users Temp folders Edge, IE, FF, Chrome and Opera caches, HTML5 storages, Cookies and History Recently opened files cache Flash Player cache Java cache Steam HTML cache Explorer thumbnail and icon cache BITS transfer queue (qmgr*.dat files) Recycle Bin

Important: items are permanently deleted. They are not moved to quarantine. If you have any questions or concerns please ask before running this fix.



The system will be rebooted after the fix has run.

Next,

Download Sophos Scan and Clean and save it to your desktop.

If your security alerts to this scan either accept the alert or turn off your security to allow Sophos to run and complete.....

Please Do Not use your PC whilst the scan is in progress.... This scan is very thorough so may take awhile to complete...

You will have to register your name and email address to download the tool. You will also have to confirm your email address again each time the scan started...

Found entries will have options to delete or quarantine, if you believe they maybe false positives you can change to ignore.

A reboot maybe requested to remove difficult malware/infection, please allow that to happen

Saved logs are found here: C:\ProgramData\Sophos\ScanandClean\Logs

Let me see those logs in your reply...

Thank you,

  Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.(Windows 8/10 users will be prompted about Windows SmartScreen protection - click More information and Run.) Make sure Addition.txt is checkmarked under "Optional scans"

  Press Scan button to run the tool.... It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply. The tool will also make a log named (Addition.txt) Please also attach that log to your reply.

If necessary:

Disable smart screen ONLY if it interferes with software we may have to use:

As you suspect, looks very much like a false positive.. I`ll ask for advice from one of the admins.....

Hello haribo,
Thanks for those logs, there are no obvious signs of any malware or infection in your logs. The RTP detections are inbound, nothing unusual there, Malwarebytes is just doing its job.
One point, your hosts file has been modified. I assume that is known to you..?
Thank you,
Kevin

Where did the file come from, size is 556mb. File is definitely malicious and classed as a decompression bomb. I do not see any obvious Malwareor Infection in your logs. Run the following please and post the produced log:
Download Sophos Scan and Clean and save it to your desktop.

If your security alerts to this scan either accept the alert or turn off your security to allow Sophos to run and complete.....

Hiya homeslice,
I believe this is a False Positive, I recommend that you contact Norton and take it up with their development team...
Regards,
Kevin..

Yes that is not a false positive per se, it is because Malwarebytes has turned WD off. Follow the instructions I gave previously to deregister Malwarebytes from Windows Security Center in Malwarebytes settings. After a reboot the issue should be cleared

Hiya HL,
Do not see any obvious Malware or Infection in your logs, have a read of the following regarding your concern...
Is that something you may have been researching..?
Regards,
Kevin

Unfortunately I cannot offer any further help, piracy is not condoned at Malwarebytes Forums....

Hello Hyperwolf122,
Your logs are clean, no signs of Malware or Infection. Your current problem is because  Controlled Folder Access is enabled, hence the alerts you are seeing...
The default setting for Controlled Folder Access is OFF, having it on will make your system more secure but can also cause a lot of ambiguity. My setting is current set to OFF, I did not change that setting, it came that way when I upgraded to Windows 11. I can also confirm it was also that way when I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10...
My advice would be to disable Controlled Folder Access, obviously that choice is yours to make. Have a read at the following links:

I do not see any obvious malware or infection in your logs. The issue that you mention is not malicious, the default setting for "Controlled Folder Access" is OFF. It would seem that your setting may actuall be ON. Try the following...
Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection. Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings. Under Controlled folder access, select Manage Controlled folder access. Switch the Controlled folder access setting to Off. Thank you,
