false positive for _ssl.pyd

[AndrewZ]

I am an open source developer who ships the Python 3.4 runtime with my application, and Python includes _ssl.pyd. I modified it using strip.exe and upx.exe to shrink it. After many years, I never had false positives from Malware Bytes before, but now VirusTotal shows it detecting it as Malware.Heuristic.1003.

Hi,

This is indeed a false positive by our additional machinelearning engine we have implemented.
This will get fixed.

Thanks for reporting!
