  1. Following the course this thread is taking..... 1) This is not an infection, this is a false positive. Try this: Create those bogus files yourself and the infection will miraculously disappear, delete the files again and the "infection" returns. 2) For two years there has never been a problem with my security setup, only recently these false positives have started to occur. MBAM only runs on demand on my system, for all its files exceptions have been created in other security software. 3) It's not helpful to put off every problem that appears with eiher "You're infected" or "there's a conflict with other software". There's also a third consideration to be made: "Does THIS software deliver a reliable result or is it just smoke and mirrors...."
  2. For about one week now I have strange phantom files appearing in my user temp folder when scanning with mbam. I normally run a quick scan. The found "infections are always *.log files and descried as Extension Mismatch. The files aren't there, even checked for them offline from a Linux Live CD. Coincidence is that I've set up my Windows all new 2 days ago, so I didn't care much. Now after a fresh install these files appear again... Even stranger: With a content of 7 files in total in my Temp folder, Malwarebytes scans 44!!.

I made an experiment and copied the whole temp foler to another location. Now Malwarebytes scans 7 files without infection..
