I also have WinRAR installed but am not getting this FP (just did a quick scan to check), but I can confirm the file name and location as being legit. To resolve the FP more quickly, one of you who is getting this FP please follow the instructions here and post the developer log in a reply to this post.

Just got this exact same problem today after the latest update (I scanned about 5 hours ago, prior to making this post). FWIW I use Winrar on a daily basis, and scan my computer with Malwarebytes once every 2-3 days (update the program before each scan). I scanned earlier this week around July 14-15th and it didn't pick up anything. I ended up quarantining and deleting the file just in case. I do A LOT of online banking, so didn't want to take any chances.

Anyways I just got home, and decided to try updating/scanning again to see if it would pick it up again. I went back on my computer and noticed that there were 2 new updates for Malwarebytes released in the last 5 hrs (one was released right after my initial scan, and the other was just now when I updated). Since I had already deleted the file on my main computer, I decided to update Malwarebytes on my laptop to see if it would still pick up Default.SFX as being infected with Spyware.Banker even after the latest couple of updates that were released. In short, it still does!

The latest update Database version 2455, is still picking this file up as being infected with Spyware.Banker!

Anyways, I decided to upload this file onto Jotti Scan - it comes up as clean.

On virus total it comes up as being infected by 2/41 (comes up as being infected with "Win32 malware" by eSafe and McAfee-GW-Edition).

Can anyone else confirm this problem?

Is this indeed a F/P?

Kind regards.

This should no longer be detected .

ok, after making my initial post. I went back and updated Malwarebytes again. There was indeed another update from "Database version 2455 --> 2456".

However, "default.SFX" is still coming up as being infected.

Kind regards,

Hey guys, FWIW. I did scan my computer with MBAM on July 16th (prior to the latest updates that went out on the 17th - which is when MBAM first started to pick up default.SFX as being infected).

Heres the log file for the scan I did 2 days ago:

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.39

As you can see everything comes up clean.

Heres the log file for when MBAM started picking up the spyware (which came about after updating to "Database version: 2453 - and continues through even to Database version: 2456" which I did about 5-6 hours ago on my main computer):

I just had this scare the hell out of me. I'm assuming it's a false positive as well but I still want pure 100% confirmation by you admins.

I have noticed that the only winrar it flags is version 3.71. I scanned it on multiple PC's and 3.71 was flagged to have spyware.banker each time. Newest build of winrar shows nothing.

I'm still about to change every damn password and login info I have for my accounts but thought knowing 3.71 was throwing it might help fix the issue.

Database version: 2457

If the scan is not done with this version or higher the scan is not valid .

I need someone with up to date definitions to confirm that this is fixed .

Not fixed.

I scanned with Database version: 2458

And default.SFX is still coming up as being infected.

I am using Winrar 3.71 for both computers.

This could very well be why Exile didn't pick up anything malicious on his scan, perhaps he's using the newest build of winrar?

FWIW, i did some googling and found that spyware.banker is actually a trojan which monitors what you're doing and trys to steal account information and passwords, especially those pertaining to online banking. With that being said, before this file can actually be confirmed as 100% safe, I urge everyone to take extra precaution and to not log into any personal accounts that hold anything valuable. You can never be too safe these days =(.
