Please Prevx Team be honest with the users

So what? 1 or 2 false positives over 43 engines... just report the false positive to the respective antivirus companies not here.

 

it's signed don't worry

 

It is definitely not malware

 

The false positive detection of this file should be reported to the two Chinese AV companies that detect it i.e. Jiangmin & Rising.

 

SO WHAT?
1.- I did not know they are FP
2.- I love Wilders, and this is the Official Prevx Support Forum, Am I wrong?
3.- I love Prevx, and I got in shock when a friend of mine told me abou this issue.
4.- I do not have to report them as FP, I think Prevx should reports the FP to these companies, in order to inexpert users as I am, do not get in panic or stop installing this wonderful AV.

There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers

 

Thank you, PrevxHelp

 

so is stuxnet and/or duqu...
i`m 100% sure it`s not malware but being a signed .exe is not that trustworthy nowadays.

 

Well, then you should be careful in using tools like virustotal if you do not know how to interpret the results. Also you seemed to have already concluded from those bad detection(s) that PREVX was at fault. Unless you are not native, the sentence below seems quite strong.

Next time you will know that if you get 1 detection out of 43 engines (even if you get 5) from an official file coming from a reputable security company servers (moreover digitally signed) its the detection at fault not the security company

Finally its common practise for the user that found the issue to report it directly to the originator of the problem. If you are really paranoid for a file determination then the only way to get a confirmation of that detection is to contact the originator to confirm its valid or mistaken.

Of course here its PREVX support forum and in fact you got your answer. Would you expect otherwise?

It happens very often that security related files are flagged wrongly, it happen for Prevx and for many others security tools. Its the nature of the file and its content that can cause this.... You will not make the news with this type of issues....

Peace, love and music forever
