Hi Twixxin,

Welcome to Adlice.com Forum.
RogueKiller is detecting MalwareBytes malware database.

This issue has been fixed when MBAM is installed on standard location but since you run it from the D: drive, the detection is still present.

Regards.

Hi khuntim,

This false positive should be fixed in RogueKiller latest version.
Could you please make sure you are using V12.11.28 ?

Regards.

Hi.  This Windows 7 PC presents no performance or usage issues but MsMpEng.exe is showing as high risk.  I am 99% certain this is simply a false positive as the Malwarebytes false positive earlier in this thread though would greatly appreciate confirmation. I will provide some details of what I have done and after that will follow the RK text file.

If all you need is the text file then you can simply proceed to it and do not need to read anything I have written below!  :)  It is all simply details surrounding this which you may not need.

The RogueKiller version I am using is "12.11.28.0 (up to date)", I have tried portable and non-portable modes.  The MsMpEng.exe (definition is 1.259.284.0 from 12/13/2017) shows as such within RogueKiller:

Detection: Root.Wajam | Adw.Elex
Type: Process
Path: [6380] MsMpEng.exe, c:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\MsMpEng.exe
(yes, the 6380 above is the proper MSE PID, or at least it's the PID of that specific file.)

I uploaded the copy of MsMpEng.exe to VirusTotal and it was found very clean.

Uninstalling and reinstalling MSE seemed to resolve this entry.  However, once I had re-downloaded the definitions for MSE, and then re-scanned with RogueKiller, the entry returned to RogueKiller.

I ran RKill, TDSS Killer (with verify digital signatures and also detect TDLFS), Malwarebytes, Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit, AdwCleaner and system file checker (sfc /scannow), all of which found various PUP but nothing serious I could tell.

I tried also removing the process via RogueKiller, and this resulted in the MsMpEng.exe process being successfully killed.  MSE immediately threw up a message asking me to reactivate it.

I tested this on a different PC and the behavior was the same, without definitions MsMpEng.exe scanned fine and with definitions scanned dirty.  On Windows 10 it appears to not occur for what it is worth.


Here is the text file showing the MsMpEng.exe detection, any verification you can provide will be very much appreciated!

Hi Hi Scott,

Welcome to Adlice.com Forum.

This detection is indeed a false positive resulting of a conflict with Windows Defender database. We will fix this as soon as possible.
For the time being, you can safely ignore it.

Regards.

Hello!

Technician License holder here.

3 items I see regularly detected when scanning my customers PC's are:

MetaStream (a graphics plugin used by AOL)
ViewPoint (a media player used by AOL)
Carbonite (a cloud backup service)

Would love to either not see them detected or at least not checked by default?

Thanks!

Hi Kylyx,

Welcome to Adlice.com Forum and thanks for your feedback.
Could you please provide us RogueKiller reports showing such false positives ? It will help us in the whitelisting process.

Sorry for the delay! Here's the pertinent Carbonite log entry and I'll post the others as they occur:

Dear Ladies an Gentlemen,

i have scanned my computer with the free version and Roguekiller has found something.
After deleting the file through Roguekiller and after a re-start the computerfile is showed up again.
Is this a serious problem?

Thank you for your help :-)

Hi Peter,

Welcome to Adlice.com Forum.
Such ADS are apparently created with Windows 10 updates. Since it's linked to the system, it's normal that RogueKiller is unable to delete it. You can safetly ignore it.

Regards.

Hi Kylyx,

Thanks for your feedback again.
I'm sorry but these won't be whitelisted. Viewpoint Media Player is detected as PUP since it's often being installed without user consent and actively collect user data.

However, as a Premium user, you can manually whitelist it using RogueKiller External Scanner.

Regards.
