Just ran a scan with version 1.34 and it found c:\windows\system32\ENCAPI32.dll.

What is it? I quarantined it, but should I remove it?
thanks.

It may be a false positive. Please restore the file or don't quarantine it yet, and upload the file here and we'll take a look.

Please start a new post there and put a link back to this post.

The file may be part of Microsoft Encarta, but it could also be infected. If you upload it then we can check on it.
You may have to zip the file up first though.

It can't be Encarta and "I'm not permitted to upload."

Also, I had just scanned with 1.33 a couple of hours prior and it showed nothing.

Well, you're right. Under properties it says encarta, but I don't have Encarta, what gives? should I just quarantine it for a while and see how it goes or delete?
Strange it was created right around the time I scanned with 1.34.

And, it doesn't show up if I just scan the file by itself in windows explorer, only on a quick scan. I haven't tried a full scan,

Problem solved, maybe. I restarted the system and ran another quick scan and it showed nothing! The quick scan took longer than the previous ones. So, a restart is in order after updating to 1.34?
Mybe I should have uninstalled 1.33 and installed 1.34?

I'm using Win XP Home SP3.

I'm using Win XP Home SP3 and the free version of MBAM

Nope, I guess not. Just ran a scan on my other computer and had the same thing.
Must be a FP?
I don't know what's going on.

You need to check for Definition updates for sure. If it is a False Positive that's where and how they get corrected.
Go to the UPDATE tab and click on UPDATE please then do another scan and see if it's still there.

Well, after an uninstall and reinstall and the latest data base, no problem. ??
