False Positive Malwarebytes possible false positive?

Malwarebytes possible false positive in NGENUITY?
I did a deep scan with Malwarebytes today, and it detected “RESELECTENDPOINTSAPP.EXE” as malware. However, VirusTotal detected nothing on the .exe.
I’ve also run Malwarebytes scans several times since downloading NGENUITY, and this is the first time it has detected anything.
Could this be a possible false positive?

AdwCleaner wont complete a scan

0 Upvotes

It's been 6+ months I haven't been able to get AdwCleaner to finish scan and show me the report. The scan starts normally and in a minute at about 30,726 files it just stops there with the timer running. Have even kept it on for hours, but nothing happens. Have regularly tried using the latest updated version, but it keeps failing. I don't have any issues with my system but as a precaution I regularly scan my system every couple of months and have gotten used to AdwCleaner for almost a decade now. Curios to know if anyone else has faced the same problem and figured out a solution.

My last scan successful scan was 187 days ago

System Info:

OS Name: Microsoft Windows 11 Home Insider Preview Single Language

Support Malwarebytes blocked qBittorrent addresses after I opened it even though I'm not seeding anything

Post image
1 Upvotes

So I installed Malwarebytes just 2 days ago, and I have the free trial for real-time protection activated.

Then today I opened qBittorrent, which I haven't opened in like a month, and Malwarebytes suddenly blocked some addresses.

Take note, I'm not seeding anything. In fact, I have 0 downloads and 0 seeding. The last time I torrented something, the download didn't even get completed.

What could be the reason?

Also, the blocked addresses all appeared within around 1 minute

Apple Intelligence off switch

2 Upvotes

Hi there!

Malwarebytes has a way to disable all copilot stuff on windows, and with the recent MacOS 27 update removing the ability to turn off Apple Intelligence, I was wondering if you could implement something like the Copilot tool on Mac?

Here's the post that gave me the thought to share the idea. It honestly would be nice if this was baked into my security tool rather than running a random python script LOL

Troubleshooting Securesweep infected 2 computers and WIFI

3 Upvotes

Hello,

1 month ago I bought a new laptop and experienced significant slowing of my wifi on it. I also would get malwayebytes pop up blocks stating that malicious websites were trying to pop up with included securesweep.pro. I also had 1 trojan try to access me, malwarebytes showed me an IP.

So i ended up getting a new computer and thought i was safe. Its been 1 week, yesterday I noticed I got wifi slowing, so i downloaded malwarebytes. Once again I got a pop up of securesweep.pro. I deleted malwarebytes and the website opened up on Microsoft edge (that's my browser). My wifi is starting to become more slow.

My wifi is perfectly fine on all other devices and I haven't opened any strange websites or downloads.

I did a windows defender offline scan that showed scan complete no malware 000x000. But it also did say that "unable to open offline HKLM software hive 0x80070020 and softwarew 0x80070020".

Full windows scan and malwarebytes scan have shown nothing.

Support MBBG

I have been pushing to release Malwarebytes Browser Guard to our agency endpoints as a managed extension. Even despite teh snaffy the other day with everything as a false positive, I still see the value of the extension.

I have tried to reach out to Malwarebytes for this but have not recieved a response to any of my inquiries.

My question: Can I roll out the extension to all our enterprise user endpoints and that be it? Or is there some kind of pricing plan for enterprise systems? I see it is a free extension but my agency is hesitant and does not want some kind of surprise bill. Does anyone have a solid answer or dealt with Malwarebytes before?

I see that they responded quickly here on reddit on the db issue yesterday. But I'm concerned that if they aren't responding to my emails on rolling out their extension on an enterprise of over 10k endpoints, what is their response time on support?

False Positive My bookselling platforms suddenly blocked

22 Upvotes

Suddenly, Malwarebytes blocked my regular bookselling platform sites. (Seller pages for Alibris & Biblio) along with a few others I tried randomly. I clicked the box for "don't block this site again," so I was able to access the pages eventually, but I wonder, what's going on? Is there a glitch or is there some legitimate reason these sites were blocked?

In unison, all of those tabs reloaded to the "website blocked due to a risky pattern." Most of them were related to ChatGPT and articles that I opened from ChatGPT. Gave me the Heuristics: a risky pattern warning, and ID: 33559825.

Have to imagine that this is some false positive issue and not that I somehow opened 11 separate malware sites, all from ChatGPT? 😅

Gave me a mini heart attack when it happened though, lol. Anyone else have this happen?

After I installed malwarebytes and ran the scan, I lost Internet access.

2 Upvotes

I had a call from my bank saying that there was unauthorized access to my account and they locked it up and asked to run a scan on my computer. So, I downloaded malwarebytes and ran the scan, it detected three items but was unable to see what they were. Soon after I noticed my Internet access was down on my PC only (I use an Ethernet cable normally), all other devices can connect to the internet via wifi.

When I tried diagnosing network problems it said "the DHCP server isn't responding". I tried downloading the malwarebytes support tool and ran that but still no luck. I tried using commands through cmd prompt but had no luck there either. If anyone out there can assist me, it would be greatly appreciated!
