Malicious Software Warning
I purchased Start10 today and was blocked by Malwarebytes, saying your site had malicious content. What's going on?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Usually, that is false positive.
Thanks

What do you mean "It is usually a false positive?" Does the word usually mean that sometimes it is not a false positive?
Programs that directly interact with an OS, eg. Stardock's GUI apps will often be flagged by the lower-quality AV programs as 'malicious'.
The lower the reputation of the AV proggy for maintaining updates and signatures - the more common the false-positive reports.
Yes, it's a false-positive.
No Stardock software is 'malicious', however the same cannot be said for pirated versions that might be found on the net. All 'Warez' should always be assumed malicious....;)
It means that the actual stardock software is not a virus but that does not meant that it can not have a virus in it. For example if you have a cracked version of the software it could come along with a virus embedded. But if it came from this site it will just be a false positive.
What both of them said above.
Thank you,
