HMP.Alert detects Zemana AntiMalware as Trojan

[Cortex]

Just done a scan and HMP-Alert has just flagged Zemana as a Trojan & wishes to quarantine it, Ia this some sort of revenge from HMP? Assuming it will sort itself with some future update.

(Seems its Kaspersky & Dr.Web that are flagging it according to Virus Total)

No, it's not revenge, several scanners have detected Zemana als malware recently. I can only guess, but perhaps Zemana is using some kind of packer that's triggering those scanners' heuristics.

OK, seems its occured since the latest Zemana update yesterday. Just wondered if others had had the same fp - Thanks !

Zemana is often flagged by heuristics..

Have you cracked Zemana?

KAV 2017 detected the most recent ZAM update as malware late last night for me.. this was a few hours after ZAM apparently detected a trojan on my CPU (which would be the first time this has ever happened to me in 20 years of computing). Hoping that these are all just false.positives....

Hitman pro alert is buggy,flagged my safezone browser(avast browser) and i removed hitman after this
but about dr.web and kasper they are trusted so just remove zemana for a while personally i cant trust zemana if kasper detect it as dangerous

You're aware of the term "false positive", right?

You can't just base your "trust" on false positive detections. If you do, then you wouldn't even trust Dr. Web and Kaspersky because other AVs may detect them as malicious also.

I imagine, is by the addition of "Farbar.Recovery.Scan.Tool (FRST) inside ZEMANA

Gmer & farbar Sometimes are detected as malware by the antivirus and others antimalwares scanners.

I didn't consider this , you may be right.
