RW Enhancer and Malwarebytes

[mojo12012]

Hi, I've just installed the latest version of RW Enhancer, having had no issues with previous installs. However, Malwarebytes insists in quarantining the exe. file it when I try to open it. Have restored it half a dozen times but it quarantines it each time it opens. Any ideas as to what might have changed to cause this? I haven't seen any issues raised re malware before. Many thanks.

What version is it please? 1.08 or 1.08b? They've released the latter today to fix some issues running the 1.08 for some users...

I myself haven't had a chance to try either of them yet.

Sounds like a false positive - I'm using Kaspersky and that hasn't flagged the 1.08b or 1.08 .exe as malware. I assume there is a way to get Malwarebytes to ignore a file.

I had the same problem with 1.08a but 1.08b installs fine.

I use Malwarebytes. If you go to Settings, then select Exclusions/Add Exclusion, you can browse to the .exe and whitelist it.

Thanks for the advice. MBytes put up a fight but now excluded.
