Avast reports issue after scanning mbae-setup-1.09.1.1346.exe

On scanning mbae-setup-1.09.1.1346.exe , Avast reports "Error: Exception in macro viruses code. (42102)".

I thought you would wish know about it.

It's obviously an Avast FP.

I am very sorry Pedro. Of course it is a false positive. I would not expect Malwarebytes to release anything which was not of the highest standard of repute. I simply thought that you guys might wish to be aware that 'something' had triggered a false positive.

Thanks! It is not unheard of for signature-based products to trigger on certain characteristics of an exploit mitigation product. But that's just it, another draw-back of failed attempts of using signature approaches to trying to detect exploits, like the vast majority of the traditional AV vendors do.
