Xtalfusion 0 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hello, It seems that Malwarebytes on my phone dectect Emby as an Trojan. (Trojan.SMS.Chismes) I have deleted Emby from my phone and downloaded it again from the playstore. But again MalwareBytes says it is a Trojan. Is this a False Positive?

thecommongeek 0 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I just encountered the same issue. Why is this being detected as malware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchmor 584 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Have a look at this thread where Kaspersky was not happy then was all of a sudden! http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/31193-kaspersky-heuristics-positive-scan-result/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14940 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Malware detection works on pattern matching. This is one of the old "1000 monkeys on typewriters" problems. Some random string of bytes in our package happens to match a pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LurchZA 4 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I am getting the same thing on AVG on Samsung. I just ignored it assuming it is a false positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37134 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 MalwareBytes let us know they're fixing this false positive for their next database update. Thanks for reporting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
