New malwarebytes Chameleon???

SAS just picked this up as a dangerous item.

Trojan.Dropper/SVCHost-Fake
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MALWAREBYTES' ANTI-MALWARE\CHAMELEON\SVCHOST.EXE

Should I be worried in the slightest or is it just a false positive. Already sent a false positive report to sas. Anyone want to weigh in.

The latest realease of Malwarebytes includes Chameleon Technology. It's likely a false positive. Maybe someone who knows more than I do will be able to let you know whether it is a threat or not.

I have the same folder in Malwarebytes. I just had SuperAntiSpyware scan and it did not tell me the same thing it told you.

Have you run across a pesky malware infection that made it hard if not impossible to run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware? Then take heart because Malwarebytes has been updated with Chameleon Technology to get it up and running even when blocked by infections.

Malwarebytes Chameleon Technology gets Malwarebytes Anti-Malware running even when blocked by infection.

Malwarebytes Chameleon Technology is a new feature introduced starting with v1.60.0. Some types of malware will target Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and other security tools to keep them from running properly. If that's the case, you can now use Chameleon which essential allows renamed versions/file extensions of the tool that can be used when the normal .exe file is blocked from running by the malware.

This is similar to RKill which also uses renamed versions of files after critical systems files because malware usually leaves them alone. However, sometimes they are detected by anti-virus programs as a threat. The detections are false positives and can be ignored.

Probably a false positive. Check if the file C:\PROGRAM FILES\MALWAREBYTES' ANTI-MALWARE\CHAMELEON\SVCHOST.EXE has a digital signature from MB, and check if it is OK. If it is OK, you can be sure it's a false positive.
