Re: Missing Scintilla.dll
All,
This might be related to the problems stated above in the thread.
Just yesterday (August 19) my anti-malware protection program (Malwarebytes) identified the Scintilla.dll file in my MySQL Workbench installation directory as containing the "backdoor.bot" trojan virus. Malwarebytes blocked the perceived threat by quarantining the Scintilla.dll file (effectively removing it from the MySQL Workbench directory). And then, of course, MySQL Workbench would not run correctly afterward.
So, I uninstalled MySQL Workbench, downloaded it again from www.mysql.com/products/workbench, and then re-installed it, but upon re-installation, the file was immediately identified again as a threat by Malwarebytes. Now, I cannot run MySQL Workbench on my machine (unless I make an exclusion for the Scintilla.dll file in my Malwarebytes settings, which I am not yet comfortable in doing).
I have been using MySQL Workbench for several weeks without any issues at all until yesterday.
So, is this a false positive detection by my Anti-Malware program (surely so!), or is there something wierd going on with Scintilla.dll? I find it highly unlikely to believe there would be a dormant trojan virus with this file that activated yesterday.
*System details*
MySQL Workbench version: MySQL Workbench 6.1 CE
MySQL Workbench installation file: mysql-workbench-community-6.1.7-win32.msi
My computer: Windows 7, 64-bit Operating System
Malarebytes Anti-Malware version: 2.0.2.1012, database v2014.08.19
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
Thanks,
Dane
