Dear staff Malwarebytes,

USBLockit.exe is a free portable software that allows you to password protect USB pendrives, is 100% clean and safe, No Adware, No Spyware.

VirusTotal.com detects it as "Malware.Heuristic.1003" from your engine.

NOTE: that the .exe file was compressed with UPX 3.91w to reduce the size of the executable because it resides in the first 32 sectors of the USB drive to be password protected, this is a portable App an runs directly from the USB drive, don't require installation. This can generate a FALSE detection.

Thanks for reporting, this will be fixed in 10 minutes. I've also added additional whitelisting in hopes to prevent this from happening again.
