RID93 Posted March 5 ID:1557542 Share Posted March 5 Hello everyone! Recently, my MalwareBytes install has started detecting the launcher for TES: Skyrim as malware (Malware.Sandbox.32). Probably a false positive, especially since I've had it on my computer for a while now, but here's the file just to be sure. sample.zip log.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos Posted March 5 ID:1557543 Share Posted March 5 Did you ever turn off those settings I mentioned in your last topic? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RID93 Posted March 5 Author ID:1557546 Share Posted March 5 I did uncheck these options, but I tend to mechanically check "Scan for rootkits" whevener I do a manual scan. I've started one without it and the launcher doesn't seem to be detected this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated MB rather than just the viral database, and I still get the same result. I do have "Scan within archives" and "Use artificial intelligence to detect threats" checked, though, if it helps. My Avira doesn't detect it. I passed the file through VirusTotal and their version of MB doesn't detect it either. I just get 2 hits with antiviruses I never heard of.

Staff shadowwar Posted March 6 Staff ID:1557561 Share Posted March 6 This has been whitelisted. Note: With rootkit on it lowers the whitelisting capabilities so fps may occur. You will just have to set an exclusion if its not detected with rootkit off. Rootkit is not needed 99.99% of the time. It should only be run when the normal engine cant remove something.

Thanks for the explanation, I'll refrain from using it next time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
