Possible false positive (file) detected as Trojan Agent?

[Eagleeye]

Good evening,

     During a daily scheduled Threat Scan today, MBAM detected the following file as a Trojan Agent:  C:\ProgramData\TEMP\RAIDTest.  I have attached the zipped file and the MBAM scan report as per instructions for reporting a possible FP.

(NOTE:  For what it's worth...a few members at the Wilders Security Forums are also reporting this same event).

* I have also scanned the aforementioned file with SAS, my ESET Smart Security program, and uploaded the file to VirusTotal.  No issues were reported.

Thank you for your time, review, and info regarding any action I should take.

Hello Eagleeye,

This looks like a false positive indeed and will be fixed in our next database update scheduled to be available in about 30 minutes. You can ignore the detection in the meantime. I'll update this thread when the detection has been pulled.

Much obliged for that most welcome info, Thisisu!

Cheers!

No problem. Database v2016.10.21.02 is available now.

Thanks for reporting!

Last night I sent this file to quarantine because I thought that it was a virus so I guess I'll keep it there

Welcome to the MBAM Forums, erimeix!

     The file in question (and MBAM's detection of it as a Trojan Agent), was a false positive, as Moderator thisisu mentioned in his posts above.  Updating your MBAM database to v2016.10.21.02 will resolve the issue.

I updated my database to the aforementioned version last night, then restored the "RAIDtest" file from Quarantine to its original location.  I ran another "Threat Scan" and MBAM no longer detects it as a trojan.

If you still encounter problems after following thisisu's instructions, please post back, describing the issue(s) you're having, and someone will assist you.

Best regards,

EE

Thanks! 

I just restored the file and I'm scanning after the update. I guess it'll be ok then!

The file wasn't executable and was in a temporary directory. Whether you chose to quarantine it or not should make no difference.
