  1. Thank you. Does that meant this is indeed a false positive?
  2. I believe this file (used for altering an old game executable, so as to be usable with modern hardware) is a false positive. I had to truncate the scan, but it still has the relevant information in the log. I've attached by the log and the zip file. Thank you! dxfix.zip MBAM log.txt
  3. Actually, I have just recovered the file from backups and will be following your advice! Thank you.
  4. Thank you, but as I said, the file was deleted. Thus, I cannot follow your recommendations. I appreciate it, though.
  5. This afternoon while doing a standard weekly scan of my computer, I was shocked when MBAM found that a file that has been on my hard drive for over two years was suddenly classified as a trojan. I uploaded the file to Virus Total, and it came back clean (0/42), but I'm still uneasy as to why MBAM would suddenly consider this file to be a threat. I'm running the latest version of MBAM with the latest definitions on Windows 7, fully patched. I browse and use all internet facing applications in a self-purging Sandbox, and in time since the last scan with MBAM, I've not let anything out of said sandbox. The file in question was deleted by MBAM, so I'm unable to submit it or process it as a false positive. What I can say about it, though, is that it was a utility that allowed the decade-plus-old game Deus Ex run on modern systems. The name of the file was DxFix.exe and I believe I obtained it from http://kentie.net/article/dxguide/ - It was labeled as (Trojan.Zipdrop) in the log file. As I said, I no longer have this file on my computer, out of fear it was malicious. Is this likely to be a false positive? Or have I had a Trojan sitting on my hard drive for over two years that only MBAM can see, and only saw just today?
