jeanlyon Posted July 28, 2011 ID:459456 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Having had MBAM on my pc free for some considerable time, I decided to buy the Pro version. I went ahead and did this and registered. All well so far.today I turn on my machine, and AVg has found vbalsgrid6.ocx as a threat and quarantined it. My MBAM also was not showing my registration key, so I did a clean uninstall of MBAM, then rebooted and cleared my Virus Vault in AVG. Scan was clean.I then did a new instal of MBAM and entered my registration key. Now running and again a clean MBAM scan.My question is where did this vbalsgrid6.ocx come from. MBAM did not find it, AVG did - I just have this horrible feeling it came in when I got the coupon for a discount on the MBAM key? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainard Posted July 28, 2011 ID:459464 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hello Jeanlyon,To make things easier lets get an OTL log so I can replicate this issue and have it taken care of further.Please Download OTL to your Desktop:To Use OTL:Get OTL From HEREDouble click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted. OTL should now start. Change the following settings Change Drivers to All Change Standard Registry to All Under File Scans, change File age to 30Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long. When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt (first run only). These are saved in the same location as OTL.Please attach these 2 files in your next reply.Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted July 28, 2011 Author ID:459490 Share Posted July 28, 2011 OK, have run OTL and hopefully I will attached the two files. One more thing. when I first re-installed MBAM I could see my ID and registration key under About. Now it's not there again? Should I be able to see it - or not>?OK, I can only find one OTL file?OTL.Txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainard Posted July 28, 2011 ID:459491 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hello Jeanlyon,The OTL file you sent is fine enough.After registering MBAM the first time the ID/Key will be within the help tab. Then it will be obfuscated then hidden.Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff shadowwar Posted July 28, 2011 Staff ID:459573 Share Posted July 28, 2011 This is a false positive on AVG's part.http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=123b793b53db193e1e258cdfde5e3fef53ee9bfca298c54d573719dc2916a6b7-1311893325They are the only one detecting it..

It found it and then when I turned on the machine it told me it had successfully quarantined it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
