How to report false positives?
« on: May 22, 2015, 10:05:48 PM »
I'm working with a very reputable person at bleepingcomputers concerning some general issues I am having with my machine.  Yesterday he asked me to download and run a program, which I've used here at the request of Essexboy, but when I did Avast stopped it as malware.  I know the program isn't malware... it's MiniToolBox.
I hope someone sees this and reports it. 
Thank you and have a fine weekend

So what if the link is old?
It is still valid and it points to the page where you can report a (possible) FP.
