[QUOTE="DeepWeb, post: 778464, member: 63811"] Eh... I get that with any AV when a file is very fresh and just recently updated. Even Smartscreen screams at me that it has never seen this before so I submit a sample to VirusTotal and even VT didn't even know about it yet and just shrug it off. This is the price you pay when you update bleeding edge. Wait a few hours or a day and it will be in the signature database of everyone. This is a good reminder to actually trust your AV. Sometimes the FPs are right. Check the md5, double check if you downloaded from a legitimate server, etc [/QUOTE]
