I moved your post to the correct section so your issue can be addressed in a more timely manner.

MBAM 4.* instructions for the log: Open the Scanner Box. Click on the Detection History Box. Mouse over the Scan Report of correct log with the detection listed to highlight it. Click the Download/export button give it a name for example: fpreport.txt Save it to the desktop or somewhere on your computer you can find it. Attach the scan log with your post. Additionally, please also attach the detected file with your post. To upload attachments please click the link as shown below. Then browse to where your file is located and select it and click the Open button. You can attach multiple files by just doing one at a time & repeating the steps for the rest.

Zip the exe and attach it here along with the detection log from Malwarebytes.

The engine format and configuration in VirusTotal is different than the consumer and corporate products’ default configuration. In VirusTotal Malwarebytes uses a command-line engine with different configuration and detection techniques/heuristics which might detect more than the commercial product. There are also false-positive suppression mechanisms in the commercial product which are not present in the command-line engine in VirusTotal. This will eventually fix itself in Virustotal as well, as Malwarebytes has no control over this. Virus Total is having trouble reaching Malwarebytes cloud.

@aleunge Do you have "Use expert system algorithms to identify malicious files" enabled? It is located in Settings > Security> Scan option. This is normally disabled by default. FYI. This setting is in the experimental stage. That setting is to detect malformed files, but sometimes legit files use protection that make them malformed. Malwarebytes is still tweaking the algorithms that is why it’s off by default. If you switch it on it is assumed, you can tell the difference between a FP and a legit detection. And if you keep it on, I suggest also turn off auto quarantine. Gives you the time to report FP's and not go thru the extra step to have to restore from quarantine. Please turn off "Use expert system algorithms to identify malicious files” It is located in Settings > Security> Scan option to avoid these detection's

Yes it is fast.

Full scans are not needed or recommended on any regular basis. Malwarebytes is not designed to function like normal AV scanners and uses a new kind of scan engine that relies mostly on heuristics detection techniques rather than traditional threat signatures. Malwarebytes is also designed to look in all the locations where malware is known to install itself/hide, so a full or custom scan shouldn't be necessary, especially on any sort of frequent basis (like daily), especially since the default Threat Scan/Quick Scan checks all loading points/startup locations, the registry, all running processes and threads in memory, along with all system folders, program folders and data folders as well as any installed browsers, caches and temp locations. This also means that if a threat were active from a non-standard location, because Malwarebytes checks all threads and processes in memory, it should still be detected. The only threat it *might* miss would be a dormant/inactive threat that is not actively running/installed on a secondary drive, however if the threat were executed then Malwarebytes should detect it. Additionally, whenever a new location is discovered to be used by malware the Malwarebytes Research team adds that location dynamically to the outgoing database updates so the locations that are checked by the default Threat/Quick Scan in Malwarebytes can be changed on the fly by Research without requiring any engine or program version updates/upgrades.

Please provide the logs requested above.

Please post a screenshot of your about screen.

We do not have any thing to assist you with now. We needed it to be installed and verified by us.

Add everything related to this task to the allow list.

Same answer as before. Privacy is licensed per device. Your idea would circumvent the licensing and allow unlimited use.

The beta should fix that issue. Please follow all of my instructions.

You can use a program like https://geekuninstaller.com/ to remove the broken program.
