WendyN29 Posted June 3 ID:1640678 Share Posted June 3 Hi, Yesterday, while my laptop was idle, Malwarebytes ran a scan. It flagged a file as Malware.AI.2883140162. I quarantined and deleted but would like to know if this is a false positive as I don't know how I picked up something malicious as I only visit known, secured sites for work and school. I ran numerous manual scans afterwards using Malwarebytes and Windows Security, which all came back normal. Malware.AI.2883140162 Report.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff cli Posted June 3 Staff ID:1640705 Share Posted June 3 Unfortunately, without the file we can not say for sure if it was a false positive. Thanks for reporting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff shadowwar Posted June 3 Staff ID:1640718 Share Posted June 3 In the future the best practice is to leave files in quarantine for a few days at least to make sure it wasnt a fp. The files are disabled in quarantine and cant affect the computer while they are in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyN29 Posted June 3 Author ID:1640720 Share Posted June 3 Thanks! I kind of panic when I saw it and reacted quickly. Now I know to wait and save it for the forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
