Kev914 Posted August 31, 2023 ID:1586222 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I had just turned on my computer and updated Sibelius and Adobe Camera Raw and then opened DazStudio and then MalwareBytes flashed a message about an RTP detection and said it was blocked and no longer a threat. And then the message closed before I could even read it. Of course that was unsettling so I looked around and I did find how to print the log file which I am attaching. So what does all this mean? Should I be concerned as I have not seen this before. Thanks. Malwarebytes exploit detection.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever process you ran in that chain of events was using CMD and exploit protection blocked it. Can you reproduce it? Have you made ANY changes in the advanced settings in exploit protection?

Kev914 Posted August 31, 2023 Author ID:1586231 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I updated the two programs. And then I opened Daz Studio. I use Daz Studio all the time. I think it may phone home (like to verify you are licensed to use their content.) If you mean changes in the Advanced setting in exploit protection in Malwarebytes, then the answer is no. I have not changed any settings in Malwarebytes as far as I can remember. Other than I checked to have it look for rootkits when it scans. I'll restart Daz Studio and see if it happens again and report back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scanning in rootkit mode does eliminate some whitelisting. It should only be used if there is an infection that we can't remove from normal scan mode. Have you been able to reproduce the exploit block? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev914 Posted August 31, 2023 Author ID:1586237 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I closed Daz Studio and reopened it but there was no warning like before. I don't recall doing anything else but updating the two programs and then opening Daz Studio. That was the reason that I started the computer. To use Daz studio. I did turn the rootkit setting off based on your comment above. I'm sure I haven't changed anything else. I looked for the Exploit settings, but didn't even see them. I'm not one of those people who likes to tinker. I pretty much use programs in their default settings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev914 Posted August 31, 2023 Author ID:1586239 Share Posted August 31, 2023 OK. I see them. I know I didn't change anything there. but I can restore the defaults, if you think I should. Or I can copy all the panels and paste them. I think there are 5. Oh, and I'm the only one who uses this computer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not worry about the detection as whatever triggered was blocked. However, if it happens again we can look deeper. Exploit detection can be very aggressive at times.
