Malwarebytes Files

These are the Malwarebytes files I have gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Malwarebytes as trusted, which means that the Malwarebytes files will appear with a green background and that there's no removal checkbox for the file. However, as you can see in the scan results below, a few of the anti-virus scanners detects the Malwarebytes file(s). My guess is that those detections are false positives and that the files are safe. It is unlikely that Malwarebytes would ship a malware file.

* How the Detection Percentage is Calculated

The detection percentage is based on the fact that I've collected 111 scan results for the Malwarebytes files. 0 of these scan reports came up with some sort of detection. If you like, you can view the full details of the scan results by examining the files listed above.
