Misidentified File

A .js file on my system (a file created by my company
apparently via RoboHelp based on the comments in the file)
was identified as "iMesh (Adware Bundler)" Should I
report this to someone so they can see how it was
misidentified?
 
I'd say post details here--this seems a reasonable group to pick for such
issues.

If you feel there's a security issue in giving out the precise details of
the filename involved, I'm not sure what to suggest. The product has
provisions for mailing suspicious files in, but I haven't confirmed whether
those are, in fact, operational in this beta. I've used them and the
buttons seem to function, but it happens very fast, and I don't get any
dialog or confirmation of the send. And, those buttons are for reporting
possible malicious stuff, not for reporting false positives, as far as I can
see.

I hope Microsoft will clarify this reporting issue because I've seen enough
reports of similar items that I think there will be significant feedback of
this sort from this beta--and I hope they can capture the knowledge.
 
But what details would I post other than the entire
contents of the .JS file? I'm not sure they'd like it if
I posted the entire thing here. I guess I'll wait and see
if someone knows where to send it/if they're interested.
Thanks for the reply though.
 
Jeff - check out my post later in this group.
There's clear information available on criteria for listing, and a form for
vendor disputes.

I think this is what you need--hope it helps!
 
We've got a bug opened tracking this false positive. I
don't know when it's going to be fixed, but it was found
inside Microsoft, too.

Thanks,
Joe
 
Good, 'cause Oracle 9 client includes some .js files with
robohelp in them. "Removing" would not be advised.
