Please check and remove false positive

jm1979 — Wed, 12 Aug 2020 15:49:59 GMT

Hello,

yesterday we released an updated file of an self-written application.

On VirusTotal.com it is detected as malicious (generic). Of course it is not malicious.

I would be glad if you could check that:

This is the file: https://www.jmmgc.com/downloads/BPFRII_Final.exe

Contacting your support via e-mail was not possible.

Thank you.

No longer considered malicious.

Thank you!

I checked the same file again today on VirusTotal.com, but it is still (or again) detected:

Palo Alto Networks - Generic.ml

What can I do?

Re-run analysis on VirusTotal to have it refresh.

Hello,

I re-ran it and it still display "Generic.ml" on your scanner.

You are probably looking at a different hash. This is the one you reported.
