False positive list

[Skip H]

Is there a list of recent false positives?

Hi Skip H,

Not that I know of, but you can search this forum for FP or False Positives. Normally they are rather short lived issues, they seldom outlive the next virus definition update, so notifying FP's is far more important than searching lists,

Is there a list of recent false positives?

Aside from what Polonus said - Why would you need to ask such a question ?
If you have a detection that you consider might be a false positive, then what is it ?
e.g. malware name, file name, location (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) and why you think it is a false positive.

Then we can help you confirm/deny the detection and what actions to take, etc.

Yes, I fully agree here with DavidR, that it is important to know why you asked this question. Be more specific to reveal your reasons for asking this. With such a kind of  cryptic question, you will only get likewise answers,

I have avast 6.
Could there be a problem on my end?

Can you show us a screenshot, we are all using avast 6 and can't see the problem you are having...
