Windows 10: Error after File submission for False positive analysis

Hello team,I have been trying to submit false positives to MS for investigation, however, after I submit and select submission details I see the error.Can someone tell me the reason for this?Also, when does a file get detected as VirTool:MSIL/Aikaantivm.GG!MTB ? even though the s/w is legit we see this flag. How can this be fixed with MS?Thank you

Can't submit false-positive for analysis

Hello,

I've been trying to submit a file for Microsoft Malware Center for analysis.

It contains a false-positive.

I'm having no success submiting the file using this link:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/portal/submission/submit.aspx

The problem is that the request times out.

Any alternative?

Best regards,

Ricardo

False positive for desktop shortcut scanner.lnk

The 1.239.488.0 virus / spyware definition update that rolled out about 24 hours ago appears to be producing a false positive for any shortcut placed on the desktop called "Scanner.lnk". I can consistently replicate a false positive for Trojan:Win32/FakeSysdef
with the following steps.

• Create a shortcut to an exe file.
• Place the shortcut on the desktop.
• Name the shortcut "Scanner".
• Run "Quick Scan".

I don't get the same result by directly scanning the file, nor by uploading the file to www.virustotal.com, so it would appear this is as a result of a heuristic rather than a file content analysis. I also don't get the same result with a shortcut that links
to a website.

Can anyone else replicate? How can we go about getting the Windows Defender team to reconsider this heuristic? It's a bit heavy-handed.
