PeaZip Portable detected as MachineLearning/Anomalous.97%

[GTani]

Hello, new PeaZip Portable 7.9.0 packages for Windows, both 32 and 64 bit, are detected (it is a false positive) by MalwareBytes as MachineLearning/Anomalous.97%, see in example Virustotal scan report:

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a557a77f21a0f8b11e051edaaa92a6e3c0c2502d46bae8c69c15923ad1f524ac/detection

Please let me know if I can do something on my side to avoid this issue in future releases.

Kind regards,

Giorgio Tani

Do you have a scan report showing which file was detected inside the zip? I am not seeing any current detections on the files.

Scanning with MalwareBytes on my local machine does not bring any warning - I tried scanning the 32 and 64 bit installers, both either compressed and uncompressed.

However the scan conducted by Virustotal (which is held as reference by end users) with Malwarebytes reports "MachineLearning/Anomalous.97%".

At this point, I suspect there is something in their configuration that differs significantly from out-of-the-box MalwareBytes configuration, but I've no clue about how helping them to fix the issue.

I would need the logs from the computer. Malwarebytes is not tripping on the zip file itself but some executable inside of it. I see none that are detected locally though so i have nothing to go off of.
