Question Malwarebytes tagged as spyware
I have previxcsi installed on my pc
My problem is it claims malwarebytes has spyware in it so I uninstalled it then reinstalled the malwarebytes and everytime it tells me there is malware or spyware found in it
Has anyone else using previxcsi had this problem?
I have downloaded malwarebytes from the website, pcworld and majorgeeks
I am at my wits end but did install spyware blaster spyware doctor and I use webroot products
Any hints on what I can do to rid this problem between previxcsi and malwarebytes would be helpful

Only a guess but do you have any quarantined files in your Malwarebytes? If so, remove them and do another scan with Prevx CSI.

I'm also guessing that it could be false positives detected by Prevx CSI or some sort of conflict between the two antispyware programs.

Thanks for the reply and I figured as much but would love to keep malwarebytes running
I guess I could just ignore the warning then and continue using both

Most likely a false positive.

What is the file it keeps detecting?

You haven't answered my first question. Do you have quarantined files in Malwarebytes at the moment?

No and the program itself I have yet to run the program due to the false positive

As ACA529 asked, what are the files Prevx CSI keeps detecting?

Previously Detected Files:
[MM] C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe [PX5: 2F56CFB4905E49A24E2913B09896050029010287]
this is what it detects I am at my wits end and it also removes the shortcut from the desktop to run the program

Well, I wouldn't worry about it. Just trust Malwarebytes or get SuperAntiSpyware.
