Staff blender Posted January 23, 2016 Staff ID:1014266 Share Posted January 23, 2016 All: In about 20 minutes another database update will be going out to correct the issues. (2016.01.23.02)Once update is live (will let you all know) I'll have you check to see if there are any remaining issues. If you had MBAM remove the entries already, re-installing whatever HOSTS file you use should put them back.If you have done nothing yet with these entries, please wait until new update goes out & re-scan. Thank you all for your continued patience & reporting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff blender Posted January 23, 2016 Staff ID:1014268 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hello All, Database version 2016.01.23.02 is released. Once you get your updates, please re-scan & let me know if there are still issues.Post the new scan log please if anything is still found.** Please note ** Those who are using the Premium and have the Protection Module enabled, you may need to shut down MBAM & restart it again to apply the new definitions. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krzyzaktcz Posted January 23, 2016 ID:1014270 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Now malwarebytes detect nothing. Were last hijack.hosts false? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff blender Posted January 23, 2016 Staff ID:1014281 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well, sort of but not really... more like a bit too aggressive/generic.The rules were a bit generic & ended up catching some legit hosts entries that should not have been as well as entries in known hijacked hosts files that block users from getting to AV sites to download AV products or updates. (many infections do this to make it difficult to clean the malware)Many HOSTS files block certain parts of AV sites for privacy concerns like telemetry collection, advertisements on the site, etc. A few rules just needed a bit of revising to be more specific is all.

mig0 Posted January 24, 2016 ID:1014422 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Well the latest MWB updates fixed the HOSTS issue. I've got another issue I can't quite figure out but I'll resort to a new post on that matter, if I can't find my answer in older posts (appears to be a common problem but this is peculiar).
