Malwarebytes ioser12.dll False Positive?

I Just ran a malwarebytes scan under Seven and it discovered a 'Trojan.Downloader' - ioser12.dll - on my Vista drive in the Java folder:



ioser12.dll properties:


Is it safe to assume that it's a false positive?

(I know the second entry is)

ioser12.dll - What is ioser12.dll?

It's a legit java file. I checked it mine with 40 different Av, checks out ok, and Malwarebytes didn't detect anything with a full scan. If you're worried, get rid of your java, re download it form the site, scan again.

I think I'll just boot into Vista, uninstall, update and if it shows again I think I'll have a definitive answer.

Yeah, I didn't notice you got java 6 v12 there SE. Nice catch Jacee.

Ahh, thanks for that Airbot. That's one of the things I try to teach my students .... don't overlook anything :)
Sometimes we need extra eyeballs, tho'. lol

lol, yeah I'm crippled with just the one

I've always been slack about updating Java.

Well, removed all existing Java, updated to 13 offline, scanned again and it wasn't flagged this time. Either way, it's all good now :)

Odd thing though, java is no longer appearing in add/remove panel

Hi SE,

That's good news, except about not being in the control panel. You know you can d/l both 32 and 64 bit java on the same OS. :) Just a little something I thought I'd throw in there.
