Malwarebytes thinks 17 is ransomware

boxner1 · 04-29-2017, 07:26 PM

I have the Steam version of 17 and have been using it for several months without any problem. Suddenly today Malwarebytes did a scan and said that ootp17.exe is ransomware and quarantined it.

I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this problem?

It's not a problem. Just tell Malwarebytes it's ok.

Un-Quarantine it. Make an exception so it doesn't happen again. You probably had an update recently to Malwarebytes.
