I installed MBAM and scanned. The scan result showed
Trojan Agent File Doc and Settings\user\application No Action Taken.

I have scanned with SAS, avgas, and KIS8 and none showed any malware.

I cannot find what this entry is. I suspect it is a FP, but how do I find out what the file is? Malware net was no help.

Thanks,
Jerry

I also have a couple of files that I strongly suspect to be False Positives. I tried to find a place to upload them for analysis but I could not find one. VirusTotal shows both files to be clean.

Is there a place on MalwareBytes' Website to upload suspected False Positive files?

Thank you.

Thanks, LoneWolf.
I have done it, and when I downloaded the log it is the ebay shortcut. I suppose it should be put into the ignore list, but it is good to know and for them also.

I appreciate the help.

Regards,
Jerry

A few weeks ago I had a FP. I went to MBAM's forum to post about it, but a lot of people where having it, so I didn't have to post. In the next update it was fixed. Very fast response :thumb:

I had over 100 false postivies with MBAM on a folder that even didn't exsist.
It is planned to be fixed in the next version.
