I don't seem to be able to find a board for False Positives and I also don't know where to post bug reports. Anyway here are the troubles I'm having.
Firstly: The Grime Removal program is behaving oddly. It's a bug. After informing me of five apps that were not needed, I decided to investigate. I couldn't find information about what they were. I thought perhaps I missed something and clicked a button saying analyse again. I did this a couple of times and then all of a sudden it found nothing. I have no idea what happened or whether the apps were removed. That is annoying.
Secondly - and this is pretty bad: I have to disable Avast to download the file CheckSumVerify.au3 at the following link.
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/164148-checksumverify-verify-integrity-of-the-compiled-exe/?p=1196863Once Avast finished doing whatever it did, I couldn't find a way to reverse the blocked URL. How do I do that please?
Thirdly: why on Earth is the file download being blocked in the first place? What is actually triggering the FP? The code can't be run unless you accidentally download and install AutoIt, and that's extremely far-fetched. Even so, the code is related to security and intended to prevent unauthorized tampering with compiled scripts. Blocking the download is contrary to the objective of keeping computer users safe because injecting code into compiled scripts is both unacceptable and undesirable.
Edit: modified the forum link above to point to the exact forum post containing the blocked download.
