Exclude from Scans: If you're confident the file is safe, you can often exclude it from future scans by adding it to your antivirus software's exclusion list. This tells the software to ignore the file in future scans. (Refer to your antivirus software's documentation for specific instructions.)
Report False Positive: If you believe the detection is a mistake, report it to your antivirus software vendor. This helps them improve their detection accuracy and reduce future false positives.
