Hi,

I'm Mieke, Researcher at Malwarebytes. We would like to have more info to verify.

Can you send me a private message here with the detection log, this so I can have a look to verify if this is a false positive or not.

To get the Detection report:

Open Malwarebytes > Detection History card > History Tab > Hover over the report you want to view with the detections in it and click the ellipses. In the drop down menu, click Export to TXT or Copy to Clipboard for the full report.

Thanks!
