Malware.Heuristic.1001 in TMP.NOD file, a false positive or real threat?

[Draednaught]

Hello guys,

I did a routine scan with MBAM today after an update and it reported 5 malicious files due to heuristics with heuristic.1001 pattern, found in a TEMP folder. Windows 10 installed, up-to-date, no recently new software installed, all apps updated, no Java on my computer, didn't use it for some days.

 

I have attached the MBAM log. Hopefully it's just a false positive. Active scanner is avast, MBAM is on-demand scanner.

If I have to provide the repective files, please give me instructions how to get them out of the quarantine safely.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

Please see here:

These files are FPs indeed, but given they are in the temp folder, it won't hurt to delete them anyway, as basically anything can get deleted from the temp folder.

Hi Mieke,

 

thank you very much for the fast reply and for clarification, I will turn off the setting. Good to know it's just a FP.

Kind regards
