FalsePositive? Eset is coming up with the following.............

Reported to Eset as well!

I think I know what is going on here , but it is complicated to explain .

The file C:\autorun.inf was part of a previously removed infection on this system (it is just a load point , it is not actually malware) .

Malwarebytes reads the file contents as part of our scan .

As the file contents are read ESET sees them as well and a protection alert is triggered .

In any event I would simply delete C:\autorun.inf and this should solve all problems .

I believe it is MBAM autorun that is causing it. As soon as I start a scan with MBAM eset marks it.
