Lots of FPs lately with WSA

Are other people seeing and/or reporting the same thing I am: I have gotten several FPs from WSA in the last couple of weeks on downloads of current programs recently. The FPs occurred on the latest WinZip installer, SUMO installer, BullGuard IS installer, and several less-well-known program installers.

Inquiring minds want to know....

 

Not here and I have my settings to Max and I have been running the latest WinZip for awhile and all of there files are marked good in my scan log. I would suggest that you Submit a Support Ticket and then they can have a look at your logs.

One possibility could be a file infector. I would definitely suggest writing into Support to ensure they can take a look at your logs and see if anything is going wrong there.

Thanks!

 

trust me, if there was a FP issue, I would be yelling the loudest of all. I have had no issues with FPs since I can honestly remember.

 

Could be something interfering with the scanner, are you running any other security applications?

 

Regarding the Sumo installer: It does add potentially unwanted add-ons though I find it an excellent update program - You can use the version that's basically portable by using the 'zip' icon on the download page, this doesn't install any add-ons but still adds info into the 'C:\ Users' folder so remembers any ignores etc. To update simply delete the Sumo folder & add the new unzipped one (don't know if this is any help or just ramblings)

 

Thanks for the suggestions, especially from TH and Joe; looks like it's just me and that is a good thing.

The only additional security I am running besides WSA is Privatefirewall, but I have been running this combo for at least a year now. I have scanned this system with HMP and MBAM; both show no malware found.

When I have a few minutes, I will open a support ticket and send the fine folks at Webroot my logs.

 

Even easier than that - download the lite version to the right of the zipped installer. The sumo_lite.exe doesn't contain the RK bundle.

 

yup no fp's here.. well on a rare occasion and ill submit those. but overall i dont usually see them.

 

... or use NoRK / Lite installers : -http://www.kcsoftwares.com/?download

 

No FP's either...feel like the Maytag service man....boring. Maybe trjam could recommend a few sites to get some activity!

 

Not much FP's here, but I find the URL scanner a bit trigger-happy.
Btw, Webroot just give a warning on the URL(contains malicious content) provided by Kyle.

 

Yes Kyle's link does show a Web Threat warning info below: Also VT shows 4/39.

The reason those few scanners are showing detections for that installer is the association with Relevant Knowledge. However, that is a topic to debate elsewhere.
