False Positive - TeslaDecoder.exe

[SimonKravis]

The decrypting program TeslaDecoder.exe ( see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/576600/tesladecoder-released-to-decrypt-exx-ezz-ecc-files-encrypted-by-teslacrypt/)

is detected as ransomware when it is run to decrypt TeslaCrypt files.After I added the executable to exceptions (after rebooting) it was still detected as ransomware and deleted. Zips attached as requested.

Hello SimonKravis:

Available data strongly suggests a false positive, and since the following pathname has been entered in MBARW GUI -> Exclusions, and the binary has been uploaded to the developers, please allow the entry to remain until you are requested to remove it:

           C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\TeslaDecoder\TeslaDecoder\TeslaDecoder.exe

At any time, a MBARW development team member, QA team member or Staffer may request the above temporary exclusion be altered/removed.  Thank you for beta testing MBARW and your valuable feedback.
