Backdoor.Bot.ED in C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlelog Web Plugins\helper.exe

I ran a routine scan using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and it picked up a bot in C:\Program Files(x86)\Battlelog Web Plugins folder under helper.exe. I quarantined it, and tried running Battlefield 4. It didn't work, and I restored it. Battlefield 4 then worked. Is this a false alarm from Malwarebytes, or is it something else I should be concerned about ? I looked up the issue and there is a forum post on Battlelog speaking about it: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2955065240178879922/

    I just uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled it on my computer.  (had very old version since I don't play on this computer)

    Scanned the folder with MWB latest version, latest definitions, Pro account.  Didn't detect anything.

  • I'm with WootCandy, I use Malwarebytes anti-malware all of the time and never had that file on my drive. I recommend to remove the file as it seems to be actual malware hiding in an innocent program's directory, and then run a repair on Battlefield via Origin.
