KevinLancaster 1 Posted December 21, 2013 Malwarebytes is detecting XCC Mixer as a "Trojan.Agent". I want to make sure that this is a false positive that everyone else is getting and not that I somehow got an infected version of it. Share this post Link to post
AZ-Stalker 88 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I've just checked and can confirm your finding. The XCC Mixer .exe file is listed as a threat, probably due to it's nature, with it being a tool for digging around files and all. I've never had any problems with my version, so it should be safe. Can anyone else confirm this? Edited December 21, 2013 by AZ-Stalker Share this post Link to post
PurpleGaga27 37 Posted December 21, 2013 That's strange. Last time I checked with an older version of this program, it did not detect XCC Mixer as a Trojan virus. Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted December 21, 2013 Now why do I recall that this happened earlier... For the time being, just tell it not to do anything to XCC Mixer. Share this post Link to post
Chimas 7 Posted December 21, 2013 Isn't it something related to the FOLDER where you install XCC? I mean, have you changed the STD place or not? Also, in the last 12 months, MALWAREBYTES has upgraded, maybe they have done something new: the previous versions used to not see anything and now they are seeing? Share this post Link to post
KevinLancaster 1 Posted December 21, 2013 No Chimas, I installed it in the regular location. Malwarebytes is specifically detecting XCC Mixer.exe as a trojan and not any of the other files. It also detects the XCC Utilities installer as a trojan probably because it contains it. Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted December 21, 2013 I just updated my MBAM virus database and went to scan the XCC Utilities folder myself, as well as installers of v1.46 and v1.47. According to Malwarebytes': v1.47 folder - clean v1.47 installer - clean v1.46 installer - "infected" Also, Microsoft Security Essentials doesn't budge one bit. Try updating XCC Utilities to 1.47.

Doctor Destiny 40 Posted December 21, 2013 I run across this once and again with things like Ares and NonsensePatch, but not XCC. I use 1.21 primarily and it doesn't get flagged. Just whitelist the EXE and you should be fine. Share this post Link to post
