Paul1145 Posted June 22, 2019 ID:1318421 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Good morning, I'm using Visual Studio 2015 to create a generic VB executable that works with Excel. The software uses Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel as its interface. After creating the .exe file and running Malwarebytes, Malwarebytes marks the .exe file as being infected with machinelearning/anomalous.96% and deletes it. I have created other .exe files using that Excel interface that pass the Malwarebytes scan just fine. What gives? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff shadowwar Posted June 22, 2019 Staff ID:1318454 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Impossible to say without the file or virustotal Link. Something is not common with the file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1145 Posted June 23, 2019 Author ID:1318513 Share Posted June 23, 2019 The file name in question was PFB_Excel_Template.exe. I changed the file name to PFB_ XLS_Tmp.exe and the scan did NOT find the machinelearning/anomalous.96% error. Is the name Excel Template something looked for in the heuristics scan?

Staff shadowwar Posted June 23, 2019 Staff ID:1318527 Share Posted June 23, 2019 The name should not make a difference. It may have learned its a fp already. Try naming it back and see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
