False positive: self-compiled INFO-ZIP (zip.exe, unzip.exe)

[ErkkiRuohtula]

Just started using Malwarebytes on a particular Windows 7 machine, did a scan with the AI on, and it flagged 2 programs (zip.exe and unzip.exe), both of which I know to be safe, because I had compiled them from sources with the OpenWatcom compiler. Trying to run also immediately quarantined them. No harm done, i simply added them to the allow-list of the Malwarebytes program. From the other messages on this forum, it looks like flagging self-compiled programs is a common problem here. Is it useful to send them as samples?

Yes and also the logs from the detection.

Is it OK to attach them on this forum, or should they be mailed somewhere?

Attach them here.

Thanks, Porthos. Here are the files. The text file is a log from the event page about trying to run zip. I could not locate the json file it refers to. This machine is localized in Finnish, and so is the report (sorry) but you can probably guess which item is which from the data.

zip-unzip.zip

Thanks for reporting, you're two files should no longer be detected.
