Hi,

I was running apt-get upgrade && apt-get update in Bash from Windows with the Bash on Ubuntu on Windows / Linux Subsystem for Windows.
But Malwarebytes blocked dpkg, a package manager used in linux and mark is as ransomware.
I am pretty sure this is a false-positive

Hi,

Can you zip and attach the file that was detected, so we can have a better look at it?

For now, please unquarantine and add this to your exclusions.

Thanks!

Hi, I have attached a .zip file to the original post.
The weird thing is, is that the file doesn't appear in my quarantine of MBAM, and the file also doesn't seem to get removed.

Hello:

I think we don't need to attach any file.

The problem occurs when one try to upgrade in bash on ubuntu on windows

If you try "sudo apt upgrade"  when dkpg run malwarebytes blocks dpkg

Please fix it

Hello,

This post is almost more than 1 year old, so I don't exactly understand why are you still replying to this thread.
This issue has been fixed a long time ago. Even with the latest version (3.3.1.2183) and the latest database update (1.0.4056), it just works.

No I am not malwarebytes staff, but as soon as I saw your post, I updated my databases in Malwarebytes. After that I ran "apt get update && apt get upgrade", without any issues. Also running dpkg separately didnt give me any issues.

Maybe if a staff is looking at this, it would help them out if you could provide more information, like versions of your application and database.

Hello All,

A fix for this issue has been released in our ARW standalone release this week. This will be incorporated into the Malwarebytes Premium in the next Premium release which is slated for the end of March 2018. For now, if you would like to try out the fix on the standalone ARW product, it can be downloaded from https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/211708-latest-version-mbarw-beta-09-v-0918807-download/

Sincere apologies for the delay
