penumbrak9 Posted March 30 ID:1626858 Share Posted March 30 Hi there, My Malwarebytes installation flagged up a file that it thinks is potentially malware. It is ampa.exe , I think it was added to my Windows folder when I was installing some recovery software (AOMEI partitial assistant, EaseUS Partition manager, etc). I have ran a scan on the file using Virustotal just to make sure, it appears to be just Malwarebytes that sees this as "malware". Could someone check this, please? I've copied it to a zip file but I'm leaving it alone until I'm sure it needs to be removed and if there's a guarantee that it won't break my PC if I do so. Thanks. ampa.zip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
