Re: Java/Byte Verify


Are a significant portion of these Byte/Verify findings false positives?

I ask because I've seen it reported fairly frequently, even on machines that were otherwise clean.

Hmm, which av would be reporting that? I've always gotten hit during forays into shady sites that love to throw popups at you, none otherwise, and I use avast!.

Mostly AVG, but I think some Norton users as well. Goes back a bit.

I actually thought they were "true" false positives; in other words the AV or antispyware program was simply wrong and that the identified files were not malicious in any context.
