Re: likely false positive (?)



Dear Jordan

I use Avast and it didn't blink when I downloaded XYweb120.

Maybe it is possible to be TOO cautious?

Best wishes

Here is the VirusTotal scan on XyWeb120, which I had to download

57 AV products in agreement on this, but I'm still kind of skeptical.

Does anyone know if MS Security Essentials is any good ? (Win Defender
does not have all that good a reputation.)

btw, I did run Winprint from the Japanese Sourceforge through this, and
it was not flagged.
