RL0000 Posted September 19, 2022 ID:1533415 Share Posted September 19, 2022 One day after a fresh install of Windows. I get a windows notification about language switching hotkeys. I am not interested in this feature myself and was going to disable it, whatever it was, and it said to hit customize within the notification to do so. When I did, that was when malwarebytes detected it as an exploit and shut it down. I also noticed that in windows security "Potentially unwanted app blocking" disabled itself around the same time that malwarebytes made this detection. I noticed it after I was checking the exploit protection advanced settings (Block penetration testing attacks). Around this time i was also browsing for information about firewalls in firefox. Here are the domains I browsed through for this binisoft.com techradar.com quora.com askleo.com tenforums.com could one of these websites have made this attack? Or was it a false positive? I also have browserguard installed and have run a threat scan as well as an adwcleaner scan. malware exploit agent generic detection 9 19 22.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL0000 Posted September 19, 2022 Author ID:1533417 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Sorry to add yet again to this, i was reading through, saw a few mistakes, and realized i couldn't edit. The block penetration testing setting was off. I did hit "reset to default" in that settings window before i noticed the windows security setting.

You need to uncheck the following setting in advanced exploit protection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamaci17 Posted September 23, 2022 ID:1535151 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Exact same thing happened to me. But I can't reliablly reproduce the "customization" notification to pop up. Have you found a way to make it pop consistently? After a full format and 3 hrs of usage it popped randomly again. I wonder what kind of algorythms are in place that it gets triggered? It does not even get triggered when I use the shortcuts. It seems random. But in what respect? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
