Hello friends,

You notice that Baidu Antivirus has a high fp (false positive) rate. The fix is in the Baidu Engine, you just need to set the "detection" to low from normal.

For this you need to go:
Settings > Engine Options > Low (here you set from normal to low).

This Engine Options (Low, Normal, High), it is the "heuristic sensitivity". This option was tested by me for more then 2 weeks with clean software that was detected as "malware".

I hope it helps :)

I was also betting lightly on the possibility that you found an odd bug. But I thought you had confused it, it happens. :)

Good point. It is valid for every Antivirus product to decrease FP's.
But it can decrease the detection rate against new malwares, I think.

From low to normal heuristics to reduce FPs?? What sorcery is this?

"This Engine Options (Low, Normal, High), it is the "heuristic sensitivity""It's right~
The default level is "normal".
