DarkSnakeKobra Posted April 15, 2013 ID:669243 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It's a bad database and already posted under false positives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescarter1981 Posted April 15, 2013 ID:669244 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I've had this too, it's quarantined a load of system files and now I can't open anything on my computer (Internet explorer, restore centre etc). How can I sort this out so I can actually use my laptop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bissel Posted April 15, 2013 ID:669322 Share Posted April 15, 2013 What sting suggested worked for me as well however if you look in the quarantine tab in malware bytes it still shows files as being quarantined even though it appears to have actually been restored. I am not sure if all files have been restored because of this or not though. I didnt reboot or restart my system in anyway so I am not sure if that makes a difference in this method being effective.

John L. Galt Posted April 15, 2013 ID:669329 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Yeah, I reported that already in my thread. Luckily I have it set to confirm with me before taking action so it only quarantined about 31 files, but it reported well over 500 from the flash scan it ran as soon as the definition was DLd.New instructions are up in my thread - everyone pleased read this post:http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=125127&view=findpost&p=669316 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robkarp Posted April 16, 2013 ID:669630 Share Posted April 16, 2013 So, is the take-away from this fiasco that we should un-check the option to have MBAM automatically quarantine suspected files? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
