Hi WCBaller, welcome to IObit Forums! :grin:

 

To check whether they are false positives, please supply IObit the following information:

 

• Upload the file that were reported as threat to VirusTotal and supply the report link in your next post.

• Also, ZIP the file that were reported as threat and upload it to Wikisend and supply the link in your next post.

 

You can use THIS post as an example.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Cheers.

Hi WCBaller,

 

Thanks for your feedback.

 

It is not a false positive. You can upload the file that is reported as threat to VirusTotal to check it. You can see some other security programs also report it as threat.

 

If you do not want to delete it, you can add it into the Ignore list of IObit Malware Fighter. Then it will not be scanned any more.

 

If any further question, please let us know.
