F-Secure False Positive?

October 1, 2011 - 23:27 — Fluffy

Hello, I jsut used F-Secures online scanner and it tagged C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\JIGSAW.EXE as malware. I think its a false positive, but I am not sure. I am looking for confirmation that it is not malware.

There's usually a way to report possible false positives to the vendors of anti-virus software - have you done this, and what does the F-Secure staff think about the file?

No it was an online scanner. However I did send them a sample of the "malware". If I had a response from f-secure i wouldn't have posted here.
