False Positives or Virus Outbreak? |

I also had a false positive in my Malwarebutes' Anti-malware program and a couple of others yesterday. I notified Clam, and I no longer get it when I scan those files, so they have corrected the signature.
You can check if a file is a false positive by uploading it to Jotti or to VirusTotal on the web. Either will scan it for you with multiple antivirus programs, including Clam. If more than a couple of AVs besides Clam find a file is infected, it's probably not a false positive. If it is a false positive, you should notify Clam so they can fix it. The Clamwin Anti-Malware page has the locations for Jotti, VirusTotal, and the Clam submission page. Regards, |

Ok this is starting to get a little out of hand. Yet more virus reports that are reporting actual removal tools as viruses. The latest report contains;

That is a false positive, affecting several different files, and several users have notified Clam about it. If you find the same infection in several different files, it is probably a false positve, but you should check it out to be sure.
The Clam sigmakers usually take care of their own false positives. It should be fixed in a day or so. Regards, |
