Hell I wrote a company called cylance like 3 months ago and they still haven't fixed it. We have to wait for them to make a mistake and report it to them. There is no way for us to know when and if someone will detect our software as a false positive - and it happens a lot. meaning they have no idea what this is and it could be something generic - or nothing. This is why you see 'generic' or 'Trojan.gen' a lot. Don't believe me, read it from one of the best utility programmers ever.

To try and get around this they use heuristics that try and uses that something may be in the realm of a viral infection - that leads to more false positives. Hence., they realty detect something that isn't known - until someone discovers it and it comes on the list. Meaning they all the detect the same known thing. The antivirus companies further more depend on from known lists - most of which are t the same. Small companies are not - we use something called code signing which validates our product - but sometimes that is plain ignored, missed and we get 'false positive' detections They can do whatever they like and release whatever they like. The dirty secret is some company's - the big ones - are white listed. Malwarebytes detected some of my photos the other day as virus (which BTW isn't even possible). Microsoft, Malwarebytes, Avira - all of them have false positive. I think you misunderstand how the entire antivirus thing works. I expect a new version, 4.0.0.16 with the fix out soon. But the problem did become 's when the false reports started coming, and they must fix the problem as soon as possible. So, in this case, the problem was not with.

It was only after an Defender update that the false positive was reported. That said, however, fabrikator mentioned that defender did not catch the (in this case) false positive at the time it was released. should have tested the software against all the major AV applications before releasing it. Excluded the 4.0.0.15 folder in the location where I placed it.Д«ut I agree with ergo (above) who said that the user should not have to go through all this hassle in order to use the software. Placed the extracted file in the location I prefer, 6.

Downloaded the portable version of 4.0.0.15, 3. I turned off Defender 'Real-Time Protection' 2. After much consternation while trying to place the portable version of 4.0.0.15 onto my hard drive and then pinning a shortcut on the taskbar, my preferred method of installation, I did this.
