Malwarebytes PEACE.txt

I'm not sure if this is a false positive or not. However, I have had PEACE installed on my computer for quite some time. Is it common for there to be .exe files in the appdata local temp folder?

I have the same problem, my license is premium though but woke up to a warning my device is infected and the peacesetup file is the malware in question.

Hi Emvy,

Thanks for reporting. This should no longer be detected.
It is not all that unusual for exes to be found in the temp folders, just depends on the setup process of various installers.

@Moe123 Can you start your own thread please if you are still finding detection on your file? It is easier to track posts this way.

Thanks!

Thank you very much blender!
