Malware warning on Storyline files?

Jun 21, 2021

Hi community,

Malwarebytes returns a clean scan on my computer but when I go to open any Storyline file, it's being quarantined with the warning 'Malware.Heuristic.1001'. The location indicates Program Files (x86)/Articulate\360\Storyline\Articulate.IntelPrimitives.dll.

Has anyone encountered this issue and if so, are you able to provide any guidance? It's only happening with .story files.

Thank you!

Hi Sarah, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊

Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing with your files. I've opened a support case on your behalf so that one of our support engineers can take a look and work with you directly. 

You should be hearing from someone soon.

Hi again,

I didn't get an email or a call yesterday. Is it possible to address this ticket today? I can't even build a new project with the current issue. Even starting from scratch won't work and I need to deliver a significant project by Friday for staff onboarding on Monday.

Is there a solution yet? 

I have the same problem. Malwarebytes allows me to restore the program file; (x86)/Articulate\360\Storyline\Articulate.IntelPrimitives.dll   but it does not show on Malwarebytes allow list and restoring it doesn't allow me to use Articulate 360. I suppose I could turn Malwarebytes off but am disinclined to take that approach. Thanks! steve
