Detecting LastPass for Windows components as Malware

[Philon]

Hi,

 

I did a full scan of my computer and the only positives that came up were these two files which are in my LastPass for Windows app folder. They are:

• Malware.AI.1075516236, C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINDOWSAPPS\LASTPASS.LASTPASS_4.5.2.0_X64__SBG7NAAPQQ8FJ\BACKGROUNDPROCESS\BACKGROUNDPROCESS.EXE
• Malware.AI.1075516236, C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINDOWSAPPS\LASTPASS.LASTPASS_4.5.2.0_X64__SBG7NAAPQQ8FJ\WIN32\BACKGROUNDPROCESS.EXE

I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that these are not malware. I do have LastPass for Windows installed and the version I have does correspond to the file name. I suspect that MWB is just flagging these components based off of another piece of malware that also has the name of BACKGROUNDPROCESS.EXE.

Can you attach logs and detected files? Thanks.

Hi,

 

I've attached the full results of the scan as a txt file.  Let me know if you need anything else.
