Chizzy

Recommended Posts

I have automatic scans daily and it picked this one up. I am wondering if its a false positive or some malware lingering in spotify software?

i do not have the files of either of them.

Please stop deleting the quarantine. Nothing there can harm your computer.

Both items especially the first could be false positives.

Also,

Do you have "Use expert system algorithms to identify malicious files" enabled? It is located in Settings > Security> Scan option.

 It is is normally disabled by default.

FYI. This setting is in the experimental stage.

That setting is to detect malformed files but sometimes legit files use protection that make them malformed. Malwarebytes is still tweaking the algorithms that is why it’s off by default. If you switch it on it is assumed, you are able to tell the difference between a FP and a legit detection. 

And if you keep it on, I suggest also turn off auto quarantine. Gives you the time to report FP's and not go thru the extra step to have to restore from quarantine.

Please turn off "Use expert system algorithms to identify malicious files" enabled? It is located in Settings > Security> Scan option to avoid these detections
