Exploit Mitigation in HMP Alert 3: Bad code, real exploit or FP?

[Ink]

I have been running the trial activated version of HitmanPro Alert 3 on one PC, and during installation of program X it would flag the installer and terminate it's process.

• How can I determine if it's a real exploit or just bad coding/script on behalf of developer?
• Is it possible for Exploit Mitigation techniques to give False Positive results?

The software under question is licensed software, from a genuine brand used in businesses / work purposes.

Yes it can have false positives!
For example I have been using it for quite some time and it blocks the "Internet download manager" plugin from working in Chrome!

What software are you talking about?
