Title: xLights64_2019_53.exe ransomware false positive?
Post by: esset on September 26, 2019, 12:25:19 PM

Today when I tried to download latest xligts version, Malawarebytes delete xLights64_2019_53.exe since it trigger it as ransomware. Does the file still have correct checksum from server? It can either be a false positive by Malawarebytes or the file is infected?

I got same result, ignore it. For whatever reason ,windows doesn't like xlights. So i assume  Malawarebytes is using same excuse/reason for coming up bad. As for Gil's comment if your not sure, it is sarcasm/joking.

I was not that worried but I wanted to make sure that the server was not hacked and file replaced with infected file.
