robkarp Posted October 6, 2014 ID:887155 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I am using 2.0.2.1012 premium. On 10/04/2014 Malwarebytes quarantined two files that have been on my PC for years and which I know to be safe (they're the executable files for Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare). 1) Why did Malwarebytes suddenly decide to quarantine these files? They hadn't changed. 2) I have "Automatically quarantine detected items" unchecked! Why did Malwarebytes seemingly ignore the setting and quarantine the files?

robkarp Posted October 7, 2014 Author ID:887595 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thanks but no. After doing some research I'm certain this is a false positive (another "Trojan.Agent.ED" false alarm). The file in question and Malwarebytes had been living together for years until three days ago. Not logical. I just went ahead and excluded the file. Still don't understand why the product went ahead and quarantined the file when that setting was not checked. I am one of the hundreds (thousands?) of victims of that notorious data base issue a few months back that caused my PC to literally eat itself to death. I'm much more concerned about the setting being ineffective than I am about the false positive because if you mess up again, what's going to prevent my PC from self-destructing all over again?Protection Logs.zip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
