Whilst in this case the madchook.dll is associated to malware but some also say it is installed by some legit programs, what for I haven’t the slightest idea. http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/madchook/409002/
It even if legit appears to be a non-essential file.
At the very least you should confirm the detection:
You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner and report the findings here, post the URL in the Address bar of the VT results page. You can’t do this with the file securely in the MBAM quarantine, you need to extract it unfortunately MBAM restores it to the original location.
If multiple scanners detect this then this sample should also be sent to avast, before allowing MBAM deal with it again.
Send the sample/s to avast as a Undetected Malware:
Open the chest and right click in the Chest and select Add, navigate to where you have the sample and add it to the chest (see image). Once in the chest, right click on the file and select ‘Submit to virus lab…’ complete the form and submit, the file will be uploaded during the next update.
Or
Send the sample to virus (at) avast (dot) com zipped and password protected with the password in email body, a link to this topic might help and false positive/undetected malware in the subject.
