False Positive

Post by ElenaRez »

Hello,
My name is Elena and I represent TweakBit. We have just released a new version of Driver Updater, which was made strictly according to CSA requirements, and discovered a false positive detection by your antivirus. Please help us solve this issue ASAP.

Thank you.

Is it digitally signed?

if you sign digitally your files, we could exclude the signature, so you won´t have to worry again about future releases.

The digital signaure has to be certified by a authorised ceritfiying company

Hi Darth,

We have checked VirusTotal today and all of the false positives are still there, nothing cleared.

I've also double checked with our developers, they said digital signatures are correct. Can you please help.

Hi,

I am sorry for the misundersanding yesterday. I did misunderstood the info sent by our lab, thinking it was already cathegorised as goodware.

Due to the nature of the actions and changes taking place on the computer by installing your program, we consider the detection as Potentially Unwanted Program is correct. No changes has been placed on this detection

Dear Darth,

We have compared our Driver Updater with Avast Driver Updater and found no difference. They also show outdated drivers and offer to purchase the app to update them. Yet you don’t detect Avast Driver Updater and insist on detecting ours.
Can you please indicate what unwanted behavior you see in our program that Avast Driver Updater doesn’t have so we can understand where is the issue?

Looking forward to your reply.
