Trojan.FakeMBAM is Malwarebytes' generic detection name for Trojans that pose as a Malwarebytes product.
Trojan.FakeMBAM are files that are made to look like they are Malwarebytes products, either because they seem to be signed by Malwarebytes, have Malwarebytes Version Info, or because the name of the file would lead users to think so.
Malwarebytes can detect and remove Trojan.FakeMBAM without further user interaction.
