Spring STS被Malwarebytes判定为勒索软件并删除，求助解决方案

Hey there, sorry to hear Malwarebytes unexpectedly removed your sts.exe—that’s a real hassle when you’re deep into a Spring project. Let’s go through actionable steps to resolve this and prevent it from happening again:

• Recover the quarantined sts.exe file
  First, open Malwarebytes and navigate to the Quarantine section. Look for the entry corresponding to sts.exe, select it, and choose the "Restore" option. Immediately after restoring, add this file to Malwarebytes’ exclusions list:

  1. Go to Settings > Exclusions
  2. Click "Add an exclusion" and select "File"
  3. Navigate to the location of your STS installation and pick sts.exe

• Verify and reinstall STS if needed
  If restoring the file doesn’t work (or you’re concerned about potential corruption), download a fresh copy of Spring STS from the official source. Before installing, use the provided checksum (like SHA-256) to confirm the installation package hasn’t been tampered with. You can either overwrite your existing installation or do a clean install to a new directory.

• Add the entire STS installation directory to exclusions
  To avoid future false positives, it’s safer to exclude the whole STS folder instead of just the executable. Follow the same exclusion steps as above, but select "Folder" instead of "File" and choose your STS installation directory.

• Report the false positive to Malwarebytes
  Help prevent this issue for others (and yourself in future updates) by submitting the sts.exe file as a false positive through Malwarebytes’ interface. Look for the "Submit a sample" or "Report false positive" option in the settings or support section, and follow the prompts to send the file for review.

• Double-check your STS source
  Ensure you originally downloaded STS from the official Spring distribution channel—third-party sites sometimes host modified versions that could trigger security alerts. Reconfirming this will rule out any actual malicious software concerns.
