How to tell if false positives

Recommended Posts

I have several files that have been quarantined by Malwarebytes Premium, which look like they're related to legitimate software I use.

1) AEScripts.com uses an installer to help manage third party plugins / scripts for Adobe After Effects.  (first two in images below are for aescripts updater)

2) Campaign Cartographer by ProFantasy is mapping software that also works with some free plugins and libraries that can be downloaded from the internet.  Some of these add-ons/plugins/scripts are directly from the ProFantasy site (such as symbol sets and annual volumes) while others are from unrelated sites on the internet that maintain some large predefined libraries of images/symbols to use with the mapping software). As far as I know, almost all the things listed below are related to this mapping software, but I have no way of knowing if any of these represent true threats or if they're all false positives. 

 

Would welcome any recommendations on what I should do. Should I simply leave all these files in quarantine and ignore them? Wasn't having any problems with the software as far as I know.

Thanks

Hello,

Hard to tell 100% for sure without the files ..

Those threat names are from our A.I engines. Pretty good chance by now if they were false positives, are resolved. It has been a while since they were quarantined.

If you trust the source where you got the scripts/installers from, you can restore them. If you have newer versions of said scripts/plug-ins, then no need. You can simply empty out the quarantine.
Then re-scan if you restored the files/registry items. If anything at that point is still detected, you can post some fresh logs and relevant files (zipped)

Instructions on this page for gathering needed logs/files for posting.

 

Thank you,
