@Koreyyy said in reddit post says after downloading Plutonium "malicious" ips was trying to connect to device:
is it really realistic its a false positive if malware bytes somehow knew exactly what it was???
but it didn't. neither malwarebytes nor any other av software has the ability to automatically disassemble software and find out exactly what that software does. All these programs just work based on behavioural patterns, if for example a piece of software has the ability to modify it's own executable it's considered malicious however in pluto's case this is completely legitimate as the launcher needs to be able to update itself.
the ips in that reddit post most likely just come from torrenting the game.. no idea why they are considered malicious, maybe mbam just detects dht traffic as malicious.
