[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 807697, member: 32260"] You share the viewpoint of 99% computer users, so one could say that you are 99% right.:giggle: One is probably 99% right too (except 1%, who are vegetarians), by saying that a vegetarian diet has 100% false positives for the meat meals.:emoji_thinking: The problem is that false positive is related to false detection. If the user applied intentionally the default deny setup, it is not for malware detection. In fact, many of them do not use default deny when installing applications, so most false positives come from AVs anyway. Furthermore, SRP and some other solutions can use default deny with admin bypass. This is especially useful in the home environment, and then, the false positives for application installers and Windows Updates come from an AV. Edit. Post edited. [/QUOTE]
