I've been using 4.1.4 Writer for a while now, with no major problems. In the middle of editing an ODT file, Malwarebytes killed soffice.bin, reporting:
Malware.Ransom.Agent.Generic, C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4\program\soffice.bin
I restored the file and scanned it with Malwarebytes, which found nothing to complain about. I fired up OO, seems to work fine, no apparent file corruptions.
Any suggestions? Anybody else having this problem? Freak cosmic-ray event? I don't really know where to go from here.

Re: Malwarebytes hits on ransomware in OO 4.1.4
I don't know why the above message reports OO 3.4.0 at the bottom, but the Win 7 is right (64 bit version). OO itself reports 4.1.4

I've never seen a report here about Malwarebytes. If you are running MBAM 3 add the directory to the exclusion list.

MBAM 3.2.2, database current. I was already leaning toward putting OO on the exclusion list. I'm going to run as is for a few days, see if Malwarebytes kills it again. If so, I'll run this (hopefully false) hit past them.
I've also downloaded the latest LibreOffice, just in case.

Re: Malwarebytes hits on ransomware in OO 4.1.4
My Malwarebytes was a few minor builds back; I upgraded this morning. So far, no repeats of the ransomware hit. If all goes well, I will close out this issue on Friday.RusselB wrote:I just ran my copy of Malwarebytes version 3.2.2.2029, Component Package 1.0.212, Update Package 1.0.3144 (updated and scan as of 11:11 pm Eastern)
