MSE Causing BSOD and MBAM not removing detected file

Gopher42 · 05 Oct 2011

Hello, I have been having BSOD issues that I was getting help with in another thread. These led me to MSE being the cause of the BSODs. basically MSE is constantly stopping, and if I try to run MBAM, I get a BSOD. If I run MBAM is safe mode, it works and finds one file (below) infected. it says it removes the file but if I restart back into safe mode and run the scan again, the same file comes back. I am not sure what to do with this, but it seems to be causing MSE to frequently BSOD. Any help is greatly appreciated. let me know if there is anything else that you may need from me.

c:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-wininit_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_8ce7aa761e01ad49\wininit.exe (Trojan.FakeMS) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

here is a link to my other post about the BSOD issues: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...dom-bsods.html

Someone had the same problem this morning and it was a false alarm.> https://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/190160-trojan-malwarebytes.html

Right click Malwarebytes and select run as administrator. Once open click update tab and do so.

Then click the Quarantine tab next to the Update Tab. If your Trojan file is listed there click restore.
This will put the file back in place.
Then run Malwarebytes again and see if it shows clean. If it finds something again click Quarantine option not delete.

There evidently is a glitch that has been fixed for false positives.

That missing file could be causing BSOD's.

I think it was a false positive. That is the only way I know to find out.

looks like it was indeed a false positive. updated and ran mbam and it no longer comes up. thanks.

This has caused Havoc with lots of people today who have deleted or quarantined these false positives. I was lucky enough to realise something wasn't quite right and ask for advice first.Never seen this before with Malwarebytes.

Glad you have Malwarebytes working properly.
