Do you have the VT link to the suspected false verdict because the hashes that you have listed don't seem to be listed as malicious.

Hello,

 

Thank you for your answer.

I haven't another information.  Please, see the attached screenshot from my customer image.png

I see that Traps alert.  If your customer is a Palo Alto Networks customer they need to open a Support case.  This forum is exclusively for Virus Total False Positives for non-Palo Alto Networks customers.
