Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Weird Form

[Anonymous]

Uhh.. Hello everyone. I was using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and accidentally hit a series of keys and then Google Chrome Launched and then I looked and It showed something being downloaded. I clicked it (the file) and then it launched a form that said this:

The next update of this program will be Friday, June 25, 2010 at 5:00:02 PM

The signature algorithm is sha1RSA

and the Signature hash algorithm is sha1

Can someone please help me?

THANKS!

Hello Anonymous,

Please answer the question that John asks and ignore the contents here.

Thanks

One more question to be asked:

What program says you will have an update?

I don't think that message is about MBAM.

If possible, you may provide a screen shot of that message too.

Edit - delete most of the contents. Thanks John for that information.

Hi Anon -(I hope you don't mind if I call you that)

Also thank you for that shot and your response -

That is not a script from Malwarebytes-

1/ Can you access the Icon on the screen for Malwarebytes at all ??

2 / Do you have a normal (free or paid) edition of Malwarebytes installed ??

Please follow these directions in case you do not have the correct program installed -

Please run a Quick Scan when you finish the New download -

Hello Anonymous,

Just to curious to ask:

What actions did you do to get this one (aka what series of keys did you press)?

My first wild guess is you right clicked the (MBAM) setup file and clicked "properties", then you might go to the "digital signature"/ "digital certificate" tab, and you clicked some place and Chrome went to verisign site and downloaded that file.

That is (suppose to be) a digital certificate revocation list from verisign. If that is the case (and download from a trust site/source), it is harmless.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revocation_list

If not, it is still harmless to do what John provided in his latest post. Then scan that file with MBAM and your anti-virus solution (it is still harmless to do so ).

Please post back if you have further problems. Thanks.

Edit - adding a guess.
