Hello,

I am just wondering what is mbam-killer.exe. It is in the chameleon folder. It is the only file (other than the "help" file) that is not on the list in the help file and it is quite a bit larger than the rest of the files. I cannot find anything about this online other than some "process checking" sites. I have found no real info on this. I do not want to find out by running it, but I am very curious. Thanks for any info.

Chris

Hello and :welcome:

That file is part of the new Chameleon feature. Do not click on it. When you have to run Malwarebytes in chameleon form/format it will use that file/process to get malwarebytes to run.
