We generally do not maintain infection rules for items that are no longer in the wild. Your Anti-Virus is better geared for detecting old stuff like that. However if Windows is updated to the latest critical updates from Microsoft it would probably not be able to be infected by this without someone manually doing it.

It makes no sense to send the log to analyze, because the record is not the name of the files reviewed by Malwarebyte.

I do not share his opinion:

A true antivirus protects all ... no update or updates.

For real-time protection does not work Malwarebyte.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a complementary solution to a fully installed Anti-Virus application and is not an Anti-Virus product.

Please see the following link for an explanation from one of our forum Experts.

Is mbam a complete antivirus solution

If there is anything else I can assist you with please let me know.

Thank you

The reality is that even with a database a small fraction of many other products we have grown in popularity due to being effective against malware that will actually attack your system. We could add every sample from all of history but then we would also have a massively bloated database but would provide no additional protection. The majority of malware has an infectious lifespan of hours to days before it becomes obsolete. Once you get to years you might as well be talking about decades, it simply does not matter any more.

If you are interested in testing this pick any popular malware URL site and pick a few URLs. Pull them every few hours and watch the samples change. It will become obvious very quickly that malware that is years old could be many thousands of mutations away from relevancy.

Think of it this way. If there was an app designed to detect out of date driver software from windows 7 generation systems, would it be a problem is windows 95 drives were missing from the DB?

BTW, we will look into this sample but please understand, there is nothing that can be done with a sample this old that will provide protection from any current live attack vectors.
