Anne__Burns Posted January 23, 2016 ID:1014360 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hello, My MB just removed 50 Hijack. Hosts. Is there anything else I need to do at this point? I am also adding two additional ones that were detected. Why am I getting so many attempts? Is my machine secure? Anne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted January 23, 2016 ID:1014368 Share Posted January 23, 2016 There were False Positive reports Yesterday and corrections were made.Hijack.Host-false positive and hijack.host - malware or not? Therefore you should update MBAM to mitigate that False Positive condition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne__Burns Posted January 23, 2016 Author ID:1014373 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hello David, I am getting (still) the false positives today. MBAM was updated yesterday (and today) as part my regular 'house cleaning'. I downloaded both items with the links you gave me above. What do I do with them?

David H. Lipman Posted January 23, 2016 ID:1014374 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Please reference Please read before reporting a false positive and then start a new thread ( Do not reply to an existing thread ) in File Detections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne__Burns Posted January 24, 2016 Author ID:1014418 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I just wanted to add an update on this thread regarding my false positives. I always keep my MBAM software up to date at all times on both my desktop and laptop; I just got finishing yet another scan on both of them and now there are no more false items, Is it possible that your fix for them did not take for me until the next day? That is the only conclusion I can come up with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
