Most tools from Nirsoft are flagged. I would exclude it if you want to keep it.


Interesting.  I wonder why it was never flagged before.  I will exclude it.

Another thought on this.  I have" automatically quarantine" turned on.  This was not quarantined.  I was surprised.  Is there a reason for that?

Thanks,
Bill

Was it a manual scan or a scheduled scan.  Re looked at your screenshot.

Auto quarantine means it will be pre checked on a manual scan for deletion. Auto quarantine is when the real time detection is triggered.

Not sure I understand.   In the first sentence you seem to be saying auto quarantine applies to a manual scan while in the second you seem to be saying it applies to real time detection.  Is a manual threat scan considered part of real time detection?

I didn't see anything pre-checked for deletion. It was prechecked and the options were close or quarantine.

Here is what the report looked like.

I hadn't seen before, but it says 1 items ignored and no action taken.

Why would it be ignored rather than quarantined?

You see the checkmarks from your screenshot below... If auto quarantine was off those boxes would be clear. I did the same scan on my computer  after I downloaded the same file  and did a threat scan my results looked the same.

OK, so I now do I have it right?  

When the auto quarantine setting is turned on:

For manual scans it will pre-check items for quarantine rather than for deletion (since there is no option for deletion on that screen).  Nothing is actually automatically quarantined. 

For real-time detections items will be automatically quarantined.

For shceduled scans the setting does not apply.  Auto quarantine is only done if the scheduled scan settings say to auto quarantine.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi guys. This was a False Positive detection which will be fixed. It will take a little while for the new database to be published and propagate to your system.

As Porthos says though, many Nirsoft utilities can be detected, though typically as riskware. This was caught by our machine learning technology.

Thanks!

Bill
