perl.exe false positive

I see Cygwin has a perl update.  I would not be surprised it this perl.exe too is flagged.

Sorry about that.  I must have used just `zip` instead of `zip -r`.  I attach logs.zip.

Hello ingber:

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:\texlive\2016\tlpkg\tlperl\bin\perl.exe

Reference: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/e6697df24cd2520bf6cf5049773365c551e2d2321cf1879d6991765f650f0522/analysis/1465861129/

At any time, a MBARW development team member, QA team member or Staffer may request the above temporary exclusion be altered/deleted.

Thank you for beta testing MBARW and your valuable feedback.

This happened again?  The file is the same; it was not updated?

Furthermore, as I had reported with a different false positive, after the required reboot, MBARW does not restore the file with its original permissions:

7:03:59am ingber@lesterX1:/cygdrive/c/texlive/2016/tlpkg/tlperl/bin% ls -l

Furthermore, since my last report on this file, I have had it listed under exclusions, and still this was reported again?  See attached zipfile of the jpg.

Hello ingber:

This will likely earn special interest with the MBARW developers and staffers.  Please create the following zipped archives for MBARW developer team analysis:

Create a .zip archive of the directory C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware\
Create another .zip archive of the directory C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\MBAMService\logs\

Please attach the zipped archives to your next reply.  Thank you for beta testing MBARW and your valuable feedback.

Hello ingber:

Thank you kindly for the archive set.

Please retain the current exclusions entered in the system's MBARW Beta7 (v 0.9.16.484)

Hopefully the MBARW developer team is currently or will soon investigate.

Thank you again.
