An OP stated that they had Spybot Search & Destroy and that it is detecting Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware as DyFuCA.InternetOptimizer.

They said that while downloading and starting Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Spybot Search & Destroy kicked in with the following message:



Spybot Search & Destroy has encountered and terminated a process that is listed as part of a malicious software.
Process ID: 3344
Filename: mbamgui.exe
Found in: C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Identified as: DyFuCA.InternetOptimizer
If Spybot encounters this process again...
* Inform me again.
* Automatically kill this process.
* Allow this process to run (NOT RECOMMENDED).
[]Delete the associated file.


Here is the OP's system information:

Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600.3.1252.1.1033.18.638.230

hello,

such a false positive should not occur since we added Malwarebytes digital signature to our white list.
Users should make sure to have Spybot S&D fully updated and reboot the computer after the update.
