nmap false positive

[Greybeard1]

Hi,

 

Malwarebtes detected the installation file for a redundant version of nmap as Malware. Previous scans did not detect it. Log and file attached.

Reported for feedback only, I don't need the file as it's an old version.

nmap-6.01-setup.zip mwb export nmap.txt

Hello @Greybeard1 and welcome back:

Since that much outdated nmap setup is years old, and has been superseded many times, I believe releases that old are treated as a moot point even when tested positive later.

nmap-7.92-setup.exe, the current release, is clean per VirusTotal.

HTH

Thanks. Yes, as I said, it's an old file and I don't need it, but I thought that reporting it might help with feedback to the AI detection engine.

Thank you. It should no longer be detected.
