Any comments :slight_smile:

2

Avast had 1 false positive.

3

Interesting one this as there is a very large number of failures compared to recent vb100 tests, I too wonder what it was about.

Further investigation seems it was false positives (1 as IBK said) that were the failure reason no wild list misses.

4

Better a false positive than a miss detection.

5

according to this result table

Avast! got 2 false positives …

6

You can’t post directly to the results as they are only available to those registered users, they have to logon to get access.

7

funny it seems results were ‘adjusted’ because now it says 1 false positive ;D
one more adjustment to 0 and all is fine ;D
