[QUOTE="blackice, post: 835218, member: 79035"] I always push back on the railing on M$ for false positives. Anecdotally it’s always people who dabble in esoteric software that most users would never even know existed. Even a lot of advanced users aren’t using tons of tools with low prevalence, which is where most FPs come from. Now your discussion of how FPs are done in the testing and contrasting URL vs Files really shines a light on how misguided this “concern” is for most users. [/QUOTE]
