AMTSO Tests failed by MBAM: PUA and Phishing Page

[netpog]

Check out the page of "AMTSO Security Features Check Tools."  These two are failed by Malwarebytes  (Premium 4.0.4).

1. "Detects phishing pages":  Malwarebytes does not block the industry-standard test page.

2. "Detects potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs)": The AMTSO test file is successfully downloaded, without being blocked. 
However, when scanned, that file IS successfully caught by Malwarebytes, and reported as "PUP.Optional.AMTSO.TestFile".

This sub-forum is for the submission of physical disk files that are targeted by Malwarebytes and are malicious or are perceived to be malicious.

Phishing pages are web sites and are not disk files.  The sites may be blocked by URL and/or IP address by the MBAM product or by evaluation by the Browser Guard product.

It is not a discussion group on product detection or for the use of third party applications, web sites and/or utilities.  Product detection discussions are performed in relative sub-forums such as;  Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum  and  Malwarebytes Browser Guard

I have requested this thread be moved to;  Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum

Seems those tests are EICAR based.
