Despite it being a few weeks since I updated MP3tag, Malwarebytes decided during today's daily scan that it found a Trojan (Trojan.DLLHijack) in the location \Mp3tag\tak\_deco\_lib.dll. I don't see how this can be anything but a false positive, but I thought I should let you know just in case.

Same here. Showing, "Trojan - DLL Hijack". Note that virustotal ([https://www.virustotal.com](https://www.virustotal.com)) shows zero detections for the DLL file (including, weirdly, Malwarebytes...).

Same issue here. MB also flags up mp3tagv326-x64-setup.exe
Edit: And older versions of 64-bit-Setup exes as well........320, 323, 325.
Edit 2: However, mp3tagv326setup.exe is not flagged

I just got a Malwarebytes trojan alert about a file in your latest release:
Trojan.DLLHijack, C:\PROGRAM FILES\MP3TAG\TAK\_DECO\_LIB.DLL, Quarantined,
Your thoughts?

Thanks. I'll tell Malwarebytes to behave properly regarding this false positive.

It seems to be fixed on Malwarebytes side now. Thanks to all of you for the heads up!
Here is the latest Virustotal report for `mp3tagv326-x64-setup.exe`:
