Daily protection log has error: "Bad md5 or size: akadomains, 11"

[LadyA]

I just reinstalled Malwarebytes Premium after doing a Windows 10 refresh, and happened to see in Malwarebytes' daily protection log that there were two Error entries that happened at the same time. The details of them were:

 

"Bad md5 or size: akadomains, 11"

"Bad md5 or size: akaips, 11"

 

Anyone know what those are, or what it means that I had them? I wasn't expecting to see any errors after a brand new install. I attached the log in case it helps to see the order things happened in.

 

Thanks in advance!

Oh, I just found the answer already in another thread here: https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/169900-bad-md5-or-size-messages-during-update-to-218-premium-malware/

 

I don't know why I didn't just google the name of that error first, sorry about that! If you want to delete this thread, that's fine with me!  (But of course if anyone looks at the log and thinks it actually was a real error in this case, please let me know.
