false positives happoen sometimes, but this one was pretty serious and will cause them plenty of trouble, I'm sure.
It seems if you are running it and are fine right now, then you have missed the faulty update that was in the wild for just some minutes, apparently. I may have been lucky and managed to get tings running again, but I had to reinstall MBAM and by complete AF/Firewall suite as well. I am still paranoid on my system status right now, but for the time being things seem to work as intended. Latest update for MBAM - I run the Pro version - worked flawless again.
Cybermat, usually the software is pretty good indeed. It does all the work on my rig - almost all of the few intrusion alarms I get, come from either Opera of from MBAM, not from the the AV or Firewall.
For the time being, I run my accounts without passwords. It'S not nice to find yourself being locked out. Only repair CD by Acronis brought me in again and allowed to install the only restore point that was no massacred by tonight'S mess. Costed me four hours now.
Good night.
