windows error reporting file detected (false positive)

Viruses and worms

just as it says; I had a crash of Windows (Seven/7100) backup a few moments ago. That must be it, just a false positive.

Could you upload the file to virustotal http://www.virustotal.com and see if it is a FP?

yeah I didn’t bother, anyway just in case doing it now…report in a few minutes.

OK, only avast reports it.

Hi Logos,

Yep, but first report it to avast as a FP, which of course it more than likely is,

Hi,

OK wanted to do it but the report requires a program name and version…doesn’t matter, I’ll put something…(Windows ;D )

edit: OK done :wink:

I simply put in n/k for not known in fields where I don’t know the information.

N/K will work fine. It definitely seems like a F/P if only avast reports it. Thanks for finding and reporting, it will only help avast in the future!
