I'm running 4.5.2.157 with the virus signatures updated today (Jan 27, 2022).  On the daily scan it found a ton of what it thinks is malware in programs that have been on the computer for years.  Something might be off in the current signatures.

 

The first thing flagged was the EXE for VB6 (I need to support some old VB programs).  This was flagged as Malware.Heuristic.1006.  VB6 is a pain to work with, but it isn't malware.

Then there are another 58 items which all seem connected to a program called Fixgo, which is for repairing problems in iOS.  I had a problem with my iPhone some time ago and used it to correct the problem (I don't remember the details anymore, that's how long ago it was).  These are all flagged as PUP.Optional.ChinAd.  These is also one flag for dpint64.exe which is also flagged as the same type of PUP. 

 

Maybe this is a newly identified adware?  It doesn't look like it's going to hurt anything to allow the PUP.Optional.ChinAd to be quarantined (not anything I use very often), but I think the VB6 flag is a false positive.

Took some effort to zip up the logs. 

All we needed was this.

You can find Scan and Protection logs within the Malwarebytes 4 program in the following location

RTP stands for Real-Time Protection and is where automatic protection operations would normally be logged

If you click on the View option you should get something similar to the following with other options available.

Thank you
