False Positive.

[JasonB]

The above programme was found by malware bytes 12 minutes ago and claimed it was malware. Arcon 3D Home Designer is a 3D Home Designer tool which i've been using for two years with no problems (bought legally) so why is Malware Bytes telling me now that this programme is Malware? I was using it yesterday with no problems what so ever. Could this be a false positive?

^Please zip and attach this file to your next post.

[JasonB]

Do i zip the file through Malware Bytes? It's currently in quarantine.

[nosirrah]

Please restore the file and then zip and attach.

[JasonB]

Interesting, just scanned the same item with AVG and it says that it's not infected. Just zipping it now and about to post.

[JasonB]

Attached is the file that is showing as infected.

[shadowwar]

Its not attached.

It does seem to be a false positive. I've uninstalled & re-installed "3D Home Designer Expert" twice tonight and on both occasions, Malware Bytes has quarantined the main .exe file.

[JasonB]

Apologies for the amout of replies but there's no edit facility.

Attached is the "infected file"

One more attempt.

Finally!

[nosirrah]

Fixed in the next update.

Thanks!

I did manage to get the programme to work after the second re-install last night and so far Malware Bytes hasn't quaratined this one yet.
