Malwarebytes blocking BAM.dll

[SpacePirateScott]

Malware bytes started blocking BAM.dll yesterday with it's AI analyzer. Is anyone else seeing this?

Not surprising. Not the first time.

It's because BAM isn't registered with MS anymore. Ravarcade said a while back he would stop paying for that each year, and warned this may start happening. So it eventually ends up being on a blocked list, even after its been cleared.

It's common to need to have the entire folders for FP, VP, Pup, Popper (almost everything related to virtual pinball) to be added to an exceptions list for any Anti Virus.

I had the same thing occur on my PC a couple of days ago and it kept deleting the BAM.dll file. There is an easy fix. Open Malwarebytes and click on "Detection History" and then "Allow List". Click on "Add Item" and then "File or Folder". Then navigate to the BAM.dll file and add it into the allow list.

There are no viruses in the file so it is OK to add it to the allow list.
