Is this a false positive?


Recommended Posts

I installed Inkscape from the microsoft store.

Shortly after I closed the app I started getting the following on all my browsers,

Website blocked due to malware

If you don't want to block this website, you can exclude it from website protection by access Exclusions.

Port: 443

Type: Outbound

File: c:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

 

and here is the log:

Malwarebytes

What's weird is there is no outbound website or IP address for the destination?
Or is that normal?
And most importantly is this just a false positive?

Thanks JC

Two things of interest. 

1) now occasionally Port 41732 pops up.

2) everytime I return to the malwarebytes forum I have to reset my password.

I currently have google sync off but that was just so I could perform the clear data on sync on google.

Currently running eset online scanner to see if it finds anything different.

Thanks again JC

I also noticed that this post has been moved to false positives? 

I don't know if it is a false positive and the heading for this part of the board warns against reporting unverified false positives.

So?

now I am really confused. Is this a false positive and y'all moved my post without telling me it was a FP or ?

Hello @Neo_Rules

I'm not sure if it's a False Positive or not. I've moved your topic to the Malware Removal forum where we'll run some scans and see what we find.

 

Please run the following for me.

You will need to send them an email to obtain a link to download the scanner, please do so

  • The downloaded file will normally have a unique name such as:  q7a9tr4p.exe
  • Close all open applications and locate the downloaded file and double-click to run it
  • The program will take a moment to launch and bring up the License and Update screen
  • Place a check mark to agree to the terms and then click on the Continue button
  • Click the underlined link Select objects for scanning
  • On the top left click the Scanning objects that should automatically check all objects
  • Click the small wrench and make sure there is a check on Automatically apply actions to threats
  • Then click the large button on bottom right Start scanning
  • Once the scan has completed there will be a link named Open report click that and a log named cureit.log should open in Notepad
  • The log is saved in the folder named Doctor Web in the top of your user profile folders
