Malwarebytes ignore list question

    Hello!

    I would like to file a false positive report with Malwarebytes, but I didn't know the procedure until I had put the items on the ignore list in the program. In order to file a false positive report on the Malwarebytes forum, I would have to redo the scan and send them the log. So I would now like Malwarebytes to no longer ignore those items.

    I know this may sound like a dumb question, but at the bottom of the 'ignore list' part of the program interface, there are two buttons: "remove" and "remove all". Just to be sure, does that take the items off of the ignore list and still leave them on the computer, or does it remove the items from the computer? I just want to make sure because I really, really don't want to mess anything up on my system. I am 99.9% sure it's a false positive report, so I would like to keep the items there.

    I'm using Malwarebytes 1.33, database updated today to 1730. It didn't create a log of today's scan. When I chose to ignore the items, there was a question asking if I was sure I wanted to abort the scan, and I said yes, as I figured that was the end of it, I didn't want to act on the results until I had verified them. So a scan wasn't done. And I would have to undo placing the items on the ignore list and and redo the scan, then get a copy to Malwarebytes.

    Like I said, sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm just double checking.

    Thanks!

    Never mind, I couldn't stand the suspense, so I tried removing the items from the list and then rebooted. All is fine, so I'll carry on with my false positive report. (shall I blush now???)
