It looks counter-productive to tell something to a person who declares something to be a problem of LibreOffice just because it didn't happen before; then, after being informed that this *was* indeed something newly introduced in the antivirus software, they keep insisting that the burden to guess what specifically a closed proprietary program chose to use as a marker of a malware. Of course, telling LibreOffice from MS Office is a rocket science, which can't be reasonably done by a commercial software (which the user *pays* for), so indeed, volunteers must do that - especially since the commercial vendor who took your money doesn't respond, "I tried". Of course, making antivirus able to apply exceptions per process, not disabling it as a whole, is also something that MalwareBytes are incapable to do. And in the end, declaring a honest attempt to help as "asinine" is topping all this excellence. Just brilliant. I am marking my answer as off-topic, sure. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
