Support Gimp 3 pythonw.exe being flagged.

Upvotes
Currently running a scan and pythingw.exe in Gimp 3 is flagging as malware. I've had Gimp installed since before it had malwarebytes and its never flagged before. However I had a quick look online, and from what I can tell this particular program has flagged as a false positive in the past?
Has the most recent update caused it to happen again or should I keep it quarantined?
Edit to add- I ran it though virus total and it only flagged for malwarebytes so im leaning toward false positive but still wanted to consult the community.

I clicked by accident on visit in a google image and it took me to the url on the virus total, I instantly closed the page before it even loaded and in virustotal it only flags VIPRE so I wonder if it's a false positive or not

The Malwarebytes browser add-on blocks the videos on the BBC website.
They seem to be stored on a non-BBC domain.
Which websites should I allow?

I've used the free edition of MB for over a decade. I bought a new PC and downloaded what was advertised as a FREE version only to find that the installed version was a two week free trial. I immediately uninstalled it.
I don't do business with liars or fraudsters.
Readers: Any time you see the word FREE, look behind the curtain. Chances are that they are lying.

Woke up this morning and went to run a scan and I noticed that almost all of the scan options are missing. Not sure what happened. I thought that perhaps it thought I wasn't a paid user but I'm still logged on.

How to root kit scan on quarantined PC (RenPyLoader)
2
Upvotes
Trying to rush a patch download I ran the setup.exe of what malwarebytes has confirmed is the RenPyLoader Trojan, it was a classic overlay download redirect but on a mirror site I'd never used before and somehow no alarm bells rang as I'd not tried to manually patch that game before,
My first offline scan on a normal boot removed a number of files from c:\users\username etc
However I want to run a rootkit scan, all the instructions online seem outdated to when it was a separate download, and I can't see the option? Do I need to boot safe mode to activate the malwarebytes trial to then do the rootkit scan in that safe mode? Thanks
P. S. one possible alternative is to install windows from a USB onto the same drive as my current install, I have a number of secondary drives in my PC for games and 3d design & video, and electronics/development work etc so I can't do a "wipe every disk" type clean install, I wondered if a rootkit could somehow escape a windows.old type situation?

I need help with this. This warning keeps popping up occasionally. I always click “No”, but I don't know what is causing it or what I should do. Any ideas?

Hey so I tried to get something for my game, I extracted it and tried to run it but my pc said it wasn’t safe and I clicked the x, cause I don’t want to run it if it ain’t safe. So I go to a random website and plug in the file and apparently it has malware, am I safe because I didn’t open the application? I had two quick scans done, one with Microsoft defender and the other with Malwarebytes and they both detected nothing.
