Aura Posted July 4, 2017 ID:1140309 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Thread: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/650686/trojan-detected-by-malwarebytes-please-help/ False positive I guess? Took a look at the log file, it's a normal Windows Update log. File: 1 Trojan.Agent, C:\WINDOWS\WindowsUpdate.log, No Action By User, [24], [206868],1.0.2285 WindowsUpdate.log Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sUBs Posted July 4, 2017 ID:1140313 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Hello, we are unable to reproduce the detection on our side. It does look like a false positive. Will it be possible to ask the user to perform a rescan. Would be preferable if they updated to latest definitions before doing so. Thanks Edited July 4, 2017 by sUBs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted July 4, 2017 Author ID:1140314 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I'll ask her to do that and let you know. You can follow the thread if needed using the link in the 1st post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted July 4, 2017 Author ID:1140413 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The user ran a new scan and the detection didn't comeback. One-time false positive I guess. Thread can be closed, thank you sUBs! scan.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff shadowwar Posted July 5, 2017 Staff ID:1140575 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Only thing i can think of was maybe a temporary lock on the file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted July 5, 2017 Author ID:1140579 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Could have been locked by Windows when it was checking/installing Windows Update. Bad timing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
