Malwarebytes(im sure some of you are familiar with it) is a antivirus program i use along side my Bitdefender total 2009 and clam win portable on my usb.

I noticed a wierd file in the Malwarebytes directory named mbam-dor.exe When i double click on it, Nothing happens and Bitdefender says that it has just removed a trojan
here is the image i uploaded of what happens

this happens everytime i click on that file. I uploaded it to virustotal, and four Av's recognize it as a virus, Clam Av as something that starts with "Fake."

A direct scan on the file with Bitdefender, and nothing happens. So can anyone varify that this is a false positive or not?

McAfee supposedly said it was a false positve. Here's a Malwarebytes thread:

On the other hand, here's a McAfee forum thread from a few months ago about it:

If McAfee still calls the file infected after these months, I would go by that.

something else thats strange. Bitdefender does not detect the file directly, but if you run the exe, it will try to create a .sys file in the system32/drivers directory.

The words/numbers/letters before the .sys a random because everytime i click on it, it genereates a new sys file.
