Continual Pop-up Error Message
« on: December 11, 2013, 02:33:12 AM »
Two to three times a day I have this pop up but am unable to locate anything that remotely looks like this file.  Can you please help me locate this information or should I mark it as a False Positive?

I don't think it's a FP. Another user reported the Same issue. MBAM blocks the connection for me.

But, Looks like Malware calling home.

Please follow this topic:

Please attach MBAM/OTL and aswMBR. After that I can fetch a remover to help you.

Eddy,

I know, however, I do not know how to remove it. So unless you do, please let him post logs so Magna86 can help him as he has a fix for it
