Trend Micro - False Positive?

Post by Far Left Texas »

Trend Micro just told me it removed some spyware - PUA.Win32.FileSearcher.G is the spyware and Everything-1.4.1.935.x64-Setup.exe is the file.

I'm 99.9% certain this is a false flag, because Everything is awesome and wouldn't do this to me! But I thought I would report it just in case.

It a false positive of course but a PUA is not a virus for them.
You have to exclude it in your Trend Micro installation.
Next time please search the forum before you post.
And why do you try to install such an old version ?
Current version is 988

I had forgotten why I dislike forums so much. First time user here, I did a search for PUA.Win32.FileSearcher.G ( search.php?keywords=PUA.Win32.FileSearcher.G ) before I even registered and received absolutely zero results. Thought maybe the creator of Everything would like to know.
And why do you try to install such an old version ?
I downloaded the Everything install file the day I received my new computer. Trend Micro has scanned daily and never given me this notice before.

A simple search for "trend micro" would give you many results.
