[Version 1.7 keeps saying out of date]

AFAIK, for an in-place upgrade through the updater in the progran UI, the database settings should be maintained; so, if version 1.65 was up to date, version 1.70 should be, as well, and it ought not to be necessary to update the databases again after the program update.

Hi,Just out of interest maybe i have mbam pro on two comps and they both updated (1.6 that is)and after that it said there was a new version .

I went through the updater and it also said 14 days out of date when finished...but then again i have always seen this behaviour so it was nothing unusual.

Very pleased with everything about the new version and it adds a bit of colour next to the red Kaspersky icon.

[Chameleon folder shows virus]

"C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Chameleon" is the folder.

mbam-chameleon.exe is a file within said folder.

Files that were quarantined were removed from that folder and thus no longer present precluding them from further scans and possible use.

Hi,OK that cleared up that for me nicely thankyou as opposed to the previous post (open it and see whats in it).

Regarding the files that were quarantined and removed from the folder....Well Kaspersky popped up after a couple of hours or so to say it was

a false positive and suggested they be returned from where they came but by then i had reinstalled MBAM and all was well.

Thankyou for your explanation and help.

@ mfn

Hello and

Yes these are a false positive in your antivirus as well. Please exclude that folder in your antivirus program.

Hi.....I have put the mbam-chameleon.exe folder in exclusions as you suggested.

Does that folder include the Firefox.exe and Svchost.exe that that were also quarantined along with it?

Also there is a mbam-chameleon.com there as you can see...is that included in the mbam-chameleon.exe folder?

[Chameleon folder shows virus]

Zone Alarm Extreme Security is NOT detecting the Chameleon folder as a virus, it is falsely detecting it as a trojan as noted by the name you provided "heur trojan downloader win32 generic".

It is a False Positive (aka; False Detection) made by Zone Alarm Extreme Security.

Have your Zone Alarm Extreme Security software EXCLUDE or make an EXCEPTION of "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Chameleon" and all files below it.

Hi....My first post here is to confirm a false positive as similar to the OP happened on my computer with Kaspersky.

There are a couple of posters in the K forum who had similar(1 in virus section and 1 in normal forum)

I thought this was initially down to Kaspersky but seeing the OP had Zone Alarm its probably down to an MBAM update imho.

Also i have MBAM and KIS in each others exclusions zones as advised by AdvancedSetup and that made no difference on my rig.

Apologies if i am wrong on that.
