MachineLearning/Anomalous.100%

[NicholasPan]

Hi,

 

I download the monitor firmware update tool from Dell website, and it has been reported as "MachineLearning/Anomalous.100%" on VirusTotal.

Here is the VirusTotal result link: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/612a96f49588af6b24d92a0e99754434a3f7d06b89a5cb6f6adb6aa701c498d5

 

Per the overall scanning result, I think that should be false positive, could you please help to check it?

Thank you.

Are you seeing a detection with the installed version of Malwarebytes? I do not.

The attached file is not detected by the consumer or commercial versions of Malwarebytes.

The engine format and configuration in VirusTotal is different than the consumer and corporate products’ default configuration. In VirusTotal Malwarebytes uses a command-line engine with different configuration and detection techniques/heuristics which might detect more than the commercial product. There are also false-positive suppression mechanisms in the commercial product which are not present in the command-line engine in VirusTotal.

This will eventually fix itself in Virustotal as well, as Malwarebytes has no control over this.

Sorry, I don't have a installed Malwarebytes.

Thanks for your detail explanation.
