PablitoJimmenez Posted September 16, 2020 ID:1407993 Share Posted September 16, 2020 As the title says MalwareBytes detected GTA5.EXE as a trojan.Im confused by this because i validated the game files and it says its a legtimate game on steam AND i ran a full scan and no threats were found.one thing that confused me was that the action was classified as "Blocked website" when its clearly the application files thats the potential problem here.What scares me the most about this is that after the "website" was blocked i got a bsod after called Kernel security check error,Now i dont know much about computers but im sure that Malwarebytes probably didnt cause it.To anyone who sees this thread please help as i dont know wether it actually blocked a dangerous website or not. P.S:the "Website" had no domain either and it seems it was connected somewhere in new york/new jersey where i live. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos Posted September 16, 2020 ID:1408005 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Could you post the detection log from Malwarebytes so the researchers can check if the particular block is still valid. Also, As for why Malwarebytes blocks Steam and other games, this is because Steam is Torrent based software, are what are known as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications meaning it connects to many different servers/IP addresses (this is how files are downloaded through Torrent based software) and because of this, sometimes Torrent based software will connect to a server that is also known for hosting malicious content. This is because servers/IP addresses are often shared by multiple sites, so while what you are Playing/downloading through Torrent based software may be perfectly safe, some of the sites hosted on some of the IP addresses that Torrent based software connects to may be malicious. Such connections are not a threat however, and you may exclude Torrent based software from the Web Protection component in Malwarebytes to stop the blocks from happening without compromising your protection (your web browser and other critical web facing programs will still be fully protected from malicious websites and other malicious content). To do so, add the game exe to your exclusions using the method described under the Exclude an Application that Connects to the Internet section of this support article.

On 3/21/2021 at 4:30 AM, hamitcagdas said: i add them in to Allowed Programs list, its still doing the block This is the wrong exclusion method. This is the correct way. Allow an application to connect to the Internet To prevent Malwarebytes for Windows from blocking an application you trust, add the application executable. Click Allow an application to connect to the Internet. To find the application, click Browse. Select the application executable you want to add, then click Open. Click Done to confirm your changes. That domain does not exist either. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/e5e92214fbfc7e197c9566734c79467f7fdf1caadd3da9ca20f69ac71d936ae2?nocache=1 Edited November 12, 2022 by Porthos 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
