Thanks...But now it's quarantining the unpacked PUTTY.exe when attempting to run Putty.

PUTTY.zip

Thanks for reporting, I just scanned the file and it's not being detected locally.

OK...I took the zipped putty.exe and put it back in it original location J:\PortableApps\PuTTYPortable\App\putty\PUTTY.EXE.

I noticed that my Malwarebytes is now showing 4.5.16.217.

Now when running it again it's not blocking it...So the current updates (I had waited 45 minutes after your first posting before trying and I did run MB Updates first).

So with the current updates in place it appears to be resolved. Thanks.
