False Positives are NEVER a good thing

June 26th, 2009

We discovered that one of our products, Paretologic Antivirus Plus is being flagged as malware.

It started with two vendors, and it is now at seven!

Interesting to note that the names that are coming up look pretty much identical… So, does that mean one AV vendor makes a mistake and all the rest of them blindly follow?

We are contacting the approriate people.
