malewarebytes blocking MPC video player
« on: January 02, 2016, 11:03:30 AM »
so for some reason malwarebytes is treating MPC as a malicious program. Ive been using it forever then all the sudden when i go to click on a video it gives pop up "ransom.filelocker"

see attached

any idea why it suddenly decides to do this? I redownloaded it and clicked on another video and same thing, then MPC program gets erased from default video player and cannot be found or opened again. I just uninstalled.

False Positive.

Looks like a database update is available already that fixes it.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
