Need help with a probable false positive

[Aldewacs]

(First my whining...) OK I've been trying to send or report a file that triggers a "MachineLearning/Anomalous.93%".    I registered on the Forum, and haven't been able to figure out the magic to send the information.  So I assume attaching the file here is sufficient.

(Background)   The file it's reporting is a self-created/ compiled EXE file, compiled from VB6.  It's in essence the same file that has been used for a dozen year, just edited with a few different variable numbers  (i.e. change a 1.5  to 1.6  etc).  The old files compile and report as OK, even if re-compiled today.

The same VB6 source code files RENAMED, and compiled, report the MachineLearning stuff.

I *suspect* this is a false positive, but I am reluctant top send this to a co-worker for obvious reasons: is this some sort of virus etc.

The attached ZIP file contains 2 EXE files.  The '2022' File seems OK in MalwareBytes.  The 2022b file reports the MachineLearning error, although the "2022b" was created from the same source code, after having  a few values edited.

I am thoroughly confused.

Is this 2022b file indeed infected with something?

I moved your post to the correct section.

Are you referring to an actual detection with the Malwarebytes installed program or a Virus total result??

These were both autolearned and whitelisted automatically. If you create a modified file it can take up too 24 hours to learn and whitelist in our systems when it comes to machine learning detections.

Pardon me but ... what do I do now?

Is my 2022b file safe to use?

Yeah they were whitelisted as no malware was found with them.
