Hello @kimo6751

There is no malware from our installer. The following link is for our Malwarebytes Support Tool  http://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbst

How to use the tool is listed in this KB article

https://support.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039023473-Uninstall-and-reinstall-using-the-Malwarebytes-Support-Tool

Using this tool you can remove the current state of the installer. When asked if you want to reinstall decline that installer and download this full installer instead.

If you do continue to have issues let us know though and we'll more than happy to assist you.

Thank you

This is a False Positive and we have contacted the vendor to get it de-listed

 

If you like you can also download our full installer instead of the web installer.
