Just updated MalwareByte and scanned system. Getting over 400
'Trojan.Downloader' messages on files that have been on the system
forever. Avira doesn't find anything.

I would trust MBAM, but if you want a second opinion install Hitman Pro
(free thirty day license) or SuperAntiSpyware. I find that AV is
notoriously unable to detect the types of malware that MBAM, SAS etc. are
designed to find/remove.

This was a problem with Update 3286 which was only out there for a
little while. It was replaced with 3287, then 3288.

There were several threads on the MBAM forums.

Submit one of the suspect files to Virustotal or Jotti to help ascertain
if it is a false positive.

Huh? Why did MBAM and Avast have problems around the same time?
What is the connection??
Do they share or steal each others definitions?
