Looking for a list of commonly used programs

[TheMalwareMaster]

Good evening.. I'm soon going to make a false positive test on some products... Can you please make a list of some free computer software? Please do not include any security related one (anti-virus, anti-malware ecc)

Not sure I understand. if no security related what kind of false positives are you looking for. Also why only include free?

Yeah, but I'm not sure that any security software is going to detect those because they are too popular. What @TheMalwareMaster needs are the safe programs which are not really known and/or not used by much people.

Not true I had Avira installed on a machine one time and tried to download from ninite and Opencandy was being blocked from installing. Post edited with more links though.

What did you try to install with Ninite that had OpenCandy?

What I'm trying to say is that, Ninite has huge list of really popular programs. For example, it's pointless to include Winamp, FileZilla or Revo (those are some of popular programs from Ninite) in test because every antivirus software will say that those are clean. I think that he needs less popular but still used products.

I'm pretty sure it was Imgburn detected as Opencandy. Those are "commonly used programs" as OP asked for. Unless you have a better suggestion but I don't see it in this thread yet. Please help OP instead of criticizing my post.

I'd like to test VoodooShield and see how many not proper command line alerts are going to appear. Lately, they quite totally disappeared for legit programs (in autopilot). But I want to make a test

I didn't criticize your post, I was just wondering which program contained OpenCandy. I'm sorry if I offended you, I didn't mean to.
