Summary
Additional Details
False positives sometimes occur in every antivirus product because of the complexity of present-day malware and file compression/ protection utilities that are used on both malware and legitimate software.
If you encounter a false positive, please submit a sample of it via our Sample Analysis System (SAS) for testing and verification, specifying that you are submitting a false positive. Any additional information such as the origin of the file, scanning report file, and false positive detection name will help to resolve the issue more quickly.
