Malwarebytes flagging latest Oculus as malware

[teambrittana]

I've never had any problems like this before, but today's scan with Malwarebytes is flagging Oculus as malware (Trojan.dropper.agent.tos). I uninstalled Oculus, rescanned, and was clean. I reinstalled Oculus, rescanned, and it was flagged again. Is anyone experiencing this issue? I'm uninstalling Oculus until further notice...

I got the same issue, scanned 20 minutes ago. Also removed as a precaution.

I opened a support ticket with Oculus, and the agent's "solution" was to assure me Oculus isn't malware and to simply add Oculus to the whitelist.

I don't understand why this is only happening NOW (I've been using Oculus for the last two years with no problems). Seems sketchy.

Cause scanners scans code with algorithms. If the outcome is similar to their threat library if will raise a flag.

 Doesnt mean that its actually malware or similar. Updates means the code have changed since last update.

If you trust the source youre safe. ( And you are in this case ).

Looks like it's fixed in the next version of Malwarebytes. From the Malwarebytes site - "Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  This issue has been resolved and will no longer be detected in future database versions.  If for any reason this is still detected after tomorrow, please let me know."
