I have Malwarebytes Premium set up to do a complete scan every day at 05:00.

 

Today, for the first time, it flagged a file named MKVEXTRACTGUI-2.3.0.0.ZIP as malware.  It is an installer for MKVEXTRACTGUI.  I have had that file on my computer (in 3 different locations) for several years now, unmodified I think, and it has never been flagged before.

 

I attached both my MBAM scan logs as a file, as well as the file MKVEXTRACTGUI-2.3.0.0.ZIP, to this post.

 

I also uploaded MKVEXTRACTGUI-2.3.0.0.ZIP to virustotal just now, and nothing detected it as malware.

 

My guess is that MBAM's AI just got fooled.

 

Details from virustotal:
