False positive detection on exe file

Dear Support,

 

We were verifying our software at virustotal.com and we could see that you detect us as "PUP.Optional.MyStartTB.A" . This is a false positive because our software is free of virus or others threats.

 

Our software is available at http://toolbar.mystart.com and I sent in attached file too.

 

the virustotal rapport is available here https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/010dd7101666dd0b5836d1e45188a09f9e4a73ecdb0cf93e4a80feca1f378ccd/analysis/1401205926/

 

If you have question, let me know.

 

Best regards,

 

Marco Ribeiro

Hi,

 

We do not detect your toolbar as virus or malware. We detect as PUP, which means, Potentially Unwanted Program.

Please also see here why it's listed: http://www.malwarebytes.org/pup/

Your toolbar is low risk adware (advertisement sponsored) plus, it changes startpage and searchpage.
