Hi folks,

here is some kind of FakeAV, which DownloadInfo says it's clean, although there are less than 10 users and the file has no signature.

The file can be found here: [removed]

Here's a screenshot of the wrong classification:

Perhaps you can check and correct.

Regards,

I say all the time, do not give Downloads Reputation Green from red marked URLs, is not so difficult to understand !

I found similar problems with Download 'Insight', it's a nice idea, but it's inherently flawed and gives people a false sense of security and lets them think that the malware that they have just downloaded is perfectly safe. I noticed several times a download given a green rating when it had come from a red rated URL. Why on earth does that occur?

A feature like this which reassures the user about something they might be suspicious about should either work correctly 100% of the time, or not be included, simple as.
