When I run MWB, it shows 87 infected files (I've attached the log). However, when I run Superantispyware, combofix, AVG, etc. they do not find anything. In addition, the files that are shown to be infected are nonexistent as are some of the paths.

Am I really infected or is something showing false positives?

thanks in advance

Hi,

Looks like a 3rd party Security application is the cause here. So, during a malwarebytes scan - another 3rd party security application sees some files mbam enumerates and blocks this. The enumeration of the files during a mbam scan doesn't mean that they are on your computer - mbam just does a comparision to see if these files exist. So since these 3rd party security application blocks the enumeration during mbam scan, it causes misdetections in malwarebytes.

An example of a third party application causing this is Kaseya.

Kaseya's file access control features are blocking MBAM. In Kaseya server (Audit -> Protection), static filenames can be added in File Access and Application Blocker, so that's why it is causing misdetections in Malwarebytes.

Do you have Kaseya installed?

Hi,

No need to remove it. I'm not really familiar with Kaseya, but can you search for this option?:

In Kaseya server (Audit -> Protection) > File access > application blocker ... there should be some static filenames listed there. In your case it looks like av.exe and braviax.exe are entered there.

Is there an option to remove these names there?
