As of today, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium is detecting "XIVLauncher (Final Fantasy XIV unofficial game launcher)" as False Positive. In Windows 10 the files are located in: C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Local\XIVLauncher Detected as Threat and quarantined, which prevents using the launcher program.

I've noticed that Malwarebytes crashes PC games if a controller device is plugged in via USB. For example, Elden Ring crashes on start-up if a controller is plugged in. The game also uses Easy Anti Cheat software. If a controller is not plugged in, the game starts normally. If a controller is plugged in when the game is running the game will crash (hang up indefinitely). If I disable Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Premium) in Windows 10, the game starts up normally even with a controller plugged in.

I have similar issue, but for me the Malwarebytes Premium system tray detection warning popup appears below my Windows 10 Task Bar (slightly on top of it). I have a dual monitor setup and the left monitor is my main monitor and the right monitor is a side monitor, both are horizontal, Task bar is located bottom of the screen, always visible on Desktop. The Malwarebytes Premium system tray detection warning popup appears on top of the notification area on my right monitor (secondary monitor). It's the only such popup which appears there, as my Windows 10 notification area is on the left side main monitor. The popup appears slightly on top of the Task bar where I can only see it is a Malwarebytes Premium popup and the X-button to close it. Everything else is below the Task bar outside the monitor (below).

Sorry for the late reply. Previous Scanning with KVRT didn't find anything either. I was unable to browse any log files as the KVRT directory was completely locked out of access for me so I had to uninstall the program. (I launched it with the -dontencrypt command even). PC hasn't had any major issues, this whole topic was about Windows Defender detecting something what no other program can detect, it seems like. It could just be corrupted and display old detections for some reason. I don't think I'll need any more help, I'll just have to reinstall Windows if issues start to happen in the future (or to fix the Windows Defender issue).

I've ran the ESET Online Scanner with Full Scan, it didn't find any threats.

Fixlog.txt Fixlog.tx is in the attachment. I ran the Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Premium scanners again after the fix in FRST. Windows Defender is still detecting/showing the Threats in the same list as previously. Malwarebytes Premium doesn't detect anything (I only ran a quick scan, but I've run Full Scan earlier today, which also doesn't detect anything). Otherwise, Malwarebytes has been working properly, as I see notifications from it sometimes while browsing internet (it seems like it is detecting and blocking threats).

Thanks for your reply MKDB. However, Im unsure what do you mean by the 2nd point on your post "Please copy and paste all log files into your post.". Which logs do you mean or is this only relevant later?

mbst-grab-results.zip Thanks for your reply, Log Files are in the attachment. I may have deleted some Windows Defender Log Files from Event Viewer previously while trying to solve this issue. I hope Malwarebytes Tool was able to recover something important.

I've noticed that on my PC Windows Defender has a list of "Current Threats", there's some couple of dozen of them, listed as "SettingsModifier:Win32/PossibleHostsFileHijack" and everything seems to be related to the "hosts" file in Windows System 32 folder. However, when I run Malwarebytes Premium, it doesn't detect anything, no threats or otherwise. In Windows Defender these threats all have a date from earlier this year which makes me suspect if they are just some kind of detection logs which are presented in Windows Defender as "Current Threats"? When I click on them there are "Action Options" but nothing seems to work and the threats always reappear on the list. I've already reseted the hosts file and removed the old file and these Threats still appear on the menu. None of the treats have a date close to today, most recent is from 30.08.2023 (and they go all the way back to 03.04.2023 which is close to when I reinstalled Windows 10 previously. Is this misinformation, false positives or is my PC infected, but why isn't Malwarebytes detecting anything? Any recommendations for action?

Seems to be fixed now a while after the update.

Got Malwarebytes update, Google is still being blocked.

No update here as of yet.

Funnily (?) enough, the issue also happens when running the game launcher for Final Fantasy XIV game. The launcher is web based too. Please fix asap.
