    False malware detection


    Good evening,My Windows 10 keeps identifying a perfectly legitimate program, Praat, as malware. Praat has been used by linguists and others that desire sonograms of human speech for decades. It is some of the best software available on any platform for acoustic analysis research. https://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/ Please have Windows 10 stop falsely identifying it as part of a Bearfoos.B!ml trojan. Cheers,Reuben M. Closson

    database of malware producing false positives or false negatives

    Many months ago I communicated with Malwarebytes about a trojan that was detected by Defender that was not detected by Malwarebytes. They indicated that Microsoft Defender is likely a false positive and to wait weeks or months for Microsoft to update their
    database. To date the Defender continues to detect a trojan that is not detected by Malwarebytes.

    Defender does not detect any malware on quick scans. However on full scans it detects this trojan that is not detected by Malwarebytes.

    How does an end user determine whether one antivirus program is producing false positives or false negatives?
