[QUOTE="artek, post: 825402, member: 22897"] Which article was that in? I think saying that they've taken this shortcut many times is just speculation. I'm reasonably certain I know which game or which software was the culprit in the first place, because it would have to be a well known enough game from them to want to put in a global bypass, and when the consumer version of Cylance came out there was a month or so where every new version would get flagged. They even still have a general detection for pua.game, though I've only ever seen that one on very simplistic text-only based games. My guess would be if you wanted to find more bypasses like this you'd look at software which ostensibly behaves like malware but is nevertheless a legitimate file used for different purposes, but again you'd have to narrow that down with a frequently changing application that is sufficiently popular and wide spread that it was being detected on enough systems and complained about by enough people that they felt the need to do this, and I'm not sure how big of a list of files you can come up with that fit that category.
