MalwareBytes blocks ExecDos.dll

Hi, every time I open VirtualDub (Newly Installed), MalwareBytes blocks this dll: ExecDos.dll

then you know what to do:

get rid of all this strange ''security'' gadgets , quality of which you see on this behavior.

You can also try to send the file to the authors, if they are decent, they will correct this in their updates asap.

Research

You should probably look up the program or at least read reviews about it before you assume it's bad. MBAM is a perfectly fine malware scanner and if you can name one decent anti-malware program that doesn't occasionally turn up a false positive, I'll give you a cookie Blum

MBAM Thumbs Up

I have to come to the defense of MBAM here. It's one of the few programs that was successfully able to remove a trojan from my significant other's infected PC not too long ago. I think McAfee was on her PC and that didn't even catch it, never mind remove it. Spybot S&D did detect it and said it removed it, but it failed to actually remove it.

I don't have faith in any security product, and even less so some of the commercial ones. Sometimes the strange security gadgets get the job done. Wink

Report it

That's the awesome thing about MBAM: You can report false-positives to them. Just head over to their forums at forums.malwarebytes.org and make a post about it in the False Positives forum under the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Support label.

Then, open the MBAM application itself and go to the Ignore List tab. From there, click the add button at the bottom left and navigate to the file in question. This will make the scanner and the protection module ignore that particular file so long as you keep it on the list.
