digmorcrusher Posted March 27, 2021 ID:1447339 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Malwarebytes Version: 4.3.0.98 Components Version: 1.0.1130 Update Package Version: 1.0.38745 Malware.AI.4090910830 Checksums: The file AdwCleaner\Version 3_0_2_3\adwcleaner.exe has the following Checksum(s) MD5 - 04B47DEEB298AE90A0C42DEAED71F8BA SHA-160 - 04C656F5CB00708B093B050DFCBB0D3F34E4A56A SHA-256 - 450DE13F98DC79C3E6359CB244FAC2A6F23F848F531F5C5A3EC3B9C2AF365714 I know this version is 8 years old ( I'm not using it) just wondering why it would detect this? I think I may know the reason but just want to confirm. Thanks. Edited March 27, 2021 by AdvancedSetup corrected font issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff cli Posted March 27, 2021 Staff ID:1447350 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) I scanned the file and did not see a detection. It may have been fixed automatically. Thanks for reporting. Edited March 27, 2021 by cli Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1PW Posted March 27, 2021 ID:1447351 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Hello @cli I agree with any who observe the age of this long obsoleted file. However, is it possible perhaps the latest data has not yet made its way to VirusTotal? https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/450de13f98dc79c3e6359cb244fac2a6f23f848f531f5c5a3ec3b9c2af365714/detection https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/malwarebytes-anti-malware-updates.389946/page-105#post-2997413 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff cli Posted March 27, 2021 Staff ID:1447353 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Our engine format and configuration in VirusTotal is different than our products' default configuration. In VirusTotal we use a command-line engine with more aggressive detection techniques and heuristics which might detect more than the commercial product. This is the norm with most if not all other antivirus vendors in VirusTotal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1PW Posted March 27, 2021 ID:1447367 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Hello @cli: With all that has been posted, could a clever AI ruleset enhancement be explored that would favorably effect the current VirusTotal finding? https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/271737-malwareai4090910830-found-showing-location-as-adwcleanerexe/?tab=comments#comment-1444821 Thank you. cc: @miekiemoes Edited March 27, 2021 by 1PW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff shadowwar Posted March 27, 2021 Staff ID:1447386 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Yeah virustotal is having issues reaching our cloud at the moment. The file is not detected locally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
