[QUOTE="iIda15, post: 473300, member: 39596"] Hello everyone, Regarding to "PUA:Win32/HackTool.Nirsoft", this is not a FP. We all love and use Nirsoft utilities but the bad guys also love them, and anyone without any programming knowledge can make a USB stick with a small bat script around Nirsoft password recovery tools by using their CLI interface so when the USB stick is inserted, it can export all the saved passwords and copy them back to the USB again. So advanced users like you can exclude them, and then the new users who never heard about the Nirsoft utilities can be protected from such attacks. In order to not hurt Nirsoft utilities as a Trojan, we detect them as a "PUA:Win32/HackTool.Nirsoft" but in future releases we can put an option for hack/research tools so when you check this option they will not get detected.
