No you can't do that.  They would get so much work to handle all the reports, and they don't want to do that
They don't care.  since they use signature checking and analytic to determine if a program should be flagged or not. there will always we false positives.  It often fix it self since people white list good software and AV companies will get reports on this and so on.

Can the developers write to Norton and Trend Micro and ask them to white list the program?

They should give their own reasons they are flagging the program as infected.

I'm running the latest Multi Commander Portable version. I checked the registry and entries are being still being created. For a portable version, all values should be created on the individual PC. In addition, there are two registry entries - one for Multi Commander and the other is MultiCommander. See attachment.

I just experienced an infected MultiCommander.exe message in Norton 360. I uploaded the file to VirusTotoal.com and all checked out fine. See attachments.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Root cause is that the Trend sucks. and they have bad way to detect threats. The way AV software work it is real easy to flag files that are not an issue.

And False Positives are super common for Filemanager application. AV software see that this application is using lots of file APIs and that look suspicious so then it flags it, It often goes away after a while when their process have checked it more in depth or something.

Since false positives are super common a good way to verify is to use virualtotal.com to check files. if just some report its bad then its probably false positives. if most of them flags it then it is bad.

Support and Feedback / File Verifier does NOT check sha files

Observation: when clicking on SHA checksum file, the "File Verifier" opens. I can add the corresponding file for check. Pressing the start button for the SHA check , 0 (zero) files are checked.
Using the dialog with only a MD5 checksum, the dialog adds the corresponding fiel automatically and check works fine.

Expectation: the SHA check works the same way as the MD5 check.

Version: (x64) v16.2 (build 3205)
