Malwarebytes blocking excel

[PedLop]

Hi Support Staff,

I am facing the same issue, I am not being able to open any Excel spreadsheet or file.

The red checkbox highlighted on previous thread is also not checked in my configuration. Log attached.

Let me know if any further info is needed. Thanks.

Hello @PedLop

 

Please click on "Restore Defaults" on the "Advanced Exploit Protection settings" dialog box.

• Click on the small gear icon on the top right of the main program
• Under Settings click on  the Security tab
• Scroll to the bottom and click on the Advanced settings button
• Click on Application behavior protection
• Click on the Restore Defaults button

Pretty sure it was on default settings to begin with.  The only way it works is if I disable the VBA7 exploit, which is what I indicated in my very first post.

I had a user earlier who ran into similar detections and even though they hadn't touched their settings, resetting it using the Restore Defaults button actually did end up fixing it, indicating that it may be an issue with the underlying configuration file that controls the settings being inaccurate or corrupt, which restoring to defaults should correct, and even though none of the options appeared to change when they clicked the button, it still fixed the problem for them so it's worth a try if you haven't done so already (and please let us know if it does correct the issue as I'm trying to find out if there is some problem causing the values/options to be incorrectly set and inaccurately displayed as it may indicate an issue with the program or its installer).

Your logs show that it is not on defaults. Please reset to default settings

This is caused by RET ROP detection, which is off by default

Thanks
