MBAM detects Trojans. False Positives? (1 Viewer)

[doveman]

MediaPortal Version: 1.4.0

Description
I did a full system scan with MBAM and it picked up these two MP related files.

C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Installer\V2\9b9bc24e-69ca-4abc-8810-f8f95bd4bbe6\1.3.0.2\9b9bc24e-69ca-4abc-8810-f8f95bd4bbe6.mpe2 (Trojan.Clicker.M) -> No action taken.
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Installer\V2\9b9bc24e-69ca-4abc-8810-f8f95bd4bbe6\1.4.0.0\9b9bc24e-69ca-4abc-8810-f8f95bd4bbe6.mpe2 (Trojan.Clicker.M) -> No action taken.

I can't tell if they're from MP itself or something to do with an addon/plugin. I imagine they're false positives anyway but thought I'd better check and if so, maybe someone want's to notify MBAM so that it doesn't flag them up in future?

Steps to Reproduce:
Scan files with MBAM

What is MBAM?
But you may be sure MP and it´s plugins are virusfree

Malware Bytes Anti Malware http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/

I thought everyone used that and would recognise the abbreviation

Yeah, as Catavolt says... no viruses in MP. The version number 1.3.0.2 suggests it might be picking up on plugins...

Hi
MBAM is apparently generating false positives for trojans in our product, MediaPortal 1.4 Final. It is open source software that contains no ads or malware or trojans.

Hello Mike,
Unfortunately, we are not getting any detection. Can you please attach here detected files?

 

[jameson_uk]

Look at the file paths. These are downloaded MPEI packages (powerscheduler++) not MP itself. Someone should mark this thread as no bug

 

[kiwijunglist]

regardlesscan you please pass the files onto mbam please doveman? thanks
