Trojan in mbamservice.exe?

[Fluttershy79]

I have installed Malwarebytes Anti Malware on my machine. 2 days ago I updates it to the new version und made a scan. After that I noticed that the mbamservice.exe made a TCP connection to the IP address 143.204.101.104 on port 443. It belongs to Amazon's Cloudfront. Is that okay?

I also scanned the file for viruses on Virustotal and Metadefender. Here the results:

Are these false positives or is the file infected?

I also scanned the install file on the Malwarebytes website, named mb3-setup-consumer-3.7.1.2839-1.0.586-1.0.11260. Virustotal found the same trojan:

Is that okay? Am I too paranoid or is the Malwarebytes Version I have an infected one?

You seem to have a problem with this file through the size and the Hash number..

This file is checked from my computer, pay attention to the size 6.43 MB and the different Hash number

Sorry my English language is weak

Yes - False Positive.  The binary is Digitally signed by Malwarebytes and Malwarebytes uses the services of Amazon.

Your file is a newer version than mine. It's 3.2.0.845, mine is 3.2.0.765
