How do I disable this erroneous message?

[Cor]

When malwarebytes scans it comes up with "Broken.OpenCommand" for my .reg files. It's not broken, it's set to "edit". I did it. The default open command (merge) is dangerous. I would have thought malwarebytes would be smarter than this.

 

So, how do I disable this erroneous message?

Hello Cor and

 

If you believe MBAM has alerted to a false positive, you may wish to post in False Positives - File Detections and although staffers may request more information, please attach a relevant text file of the Protection Log.

Reference: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Users Guide - History - Application Logs - Protection Log

Thank you.

I don't see how any malware could make the default action for .reg files any more dangerous than the Windows default, so perhaps it should be classified as a false positive.

However, because there is no more dangerous action than the Windows default action, I am confused as to why MBAM would even be examining this registry key for changes, which, by definition, could only improve security.

 

I would love to get some clarification on this from the developers. But more than that, I'd just like to be able to disable the message.

Hello Cor:

 

I believe staffers will give you a better insight if you post as suggested. Perhaps too an exclusion is possible.

 

Thank you.

The first thing I did (after right-clicking the error and getting no menu at all) was to head to the prefs and add an exclusion. No dice. There is an option for files and folders, but not registry keys. Strange

 

I'll post in the false-positives area. Thanks.

Actually, I discovered that if you uncheck the item and click the big NEXT button, MBAM will ask you if you wish to ignore/always ignore/something else (which I didn't read because I was so excited I immediately clicked the "ignore always" option!) the unchecked item, so fingers crossed!
