    Malwarebytes detected an .msi file as malware, false positive?


    Malwarebytes detected the file C:\Windows\Installer\54bba62.msi as a Trojan.Crypt.

    I did a google search and found nothing.

    Any info or suggestions?

    I would ask Malwarebytes for help about this here:
    Im infected - What do I do now? - Malware Removal for Windows - Malwarebytes Forums

    Here's the MBAM main forum page if you want to post in a different MBAM sub-forum:
    Malwarebytes Forums

    They can give you info to submit the file to check for a false-positive, etc.

Hi everyone. Perhaps this is a stupid question, but I'm rather curious if there is any way to confirm that something is a false positive when it comes to malware scans? Recently I've become interested in running a rather old program that's being support out-of-cycle by user generated updates....

I Just ran a malwarebytes scan under Seven and it discovered a 'Trojan.Downloader' - ioser12.dll - on my Vista drive in the Java folder: 9651 ioser12.dll properties: 9652 Is it safe to assume that it's a false positive? (I know the second entry is)
