[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1094728, member: 99014"] Closed-source and open source AVs are both prone to false positives. A system with more users and more channels for receiving safe files will be less susceptible, but far from perfect. During the development, all technologies are created with false positives reduction/elimination in mind. Evidence of the detection most of the time is not necessary, users would open a case with the vendor and they will investigate the detection method. Providing evidence why and how the file is detected will allow attackers to evade this detection. [/QUOTE]
