I just recently downloaded and installed AutoHotKey, which can help remap keys and automate tedious tasks on Windows. It is open source and appears to be a completely legitimate program.

I believe MBAM gave me a false positive. Here is the log (ran in Dev mode):

c:\program files (x86)\autohotkey\Compiler\autohotkeysc.bin (Trojan.Logger) -> No action taken. [b9e521f9f7095fa17126cbb214f0fb05]

Official site:

The file in question is attached as a ZIP.

I did a search for "AutoHotKey" on these forums. Although I found one guy who used it and some malware that "incorporates" it as some sort of component, there does not seem to be a case of someone downloading the real program for everyday purposes and then getting an MBAM warning.

The new Malwarebytes free version (1.51.2.1300) says this is a trojan:

C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Compiler\AutoHotkeySC.bin

What I have currently installed is:

AutoHotkey 1.0.48.05

http://www.autohotkey.com/changelog/

I think it's a false positive. I've had this program installed for a while, and nothing has ever been detected.

The new Malwarebytes free version icon in Task Bar also has a number by it, 33591187 ... that seems different.

I did the

Run \ mbam.exe /developer

I set the suspected trojan to Ignore, went to Main Menu, and it said if I did that, I'd lose the log ... there was no other way to get out of it - so I don't see how to get the log file to post here.

I don't have WinZip, should I just upload the .bin file? It's only 412 KB.
