Spurious Reporting
and Listings
False Positives
A "false positive", also known as
a "false alarm", occurs when anti-virus,
spyware protection, anti-keylogging, or anti-hacking
software detects a legitimate and trusted program,
folder, or file as a problem, when in fact
there is no threat.
 |
Our software has in the past
been incorrectly flagged. Please Contact
Us if you observe any program that
provides spurious reports that our software
is a threat. We will then immediately contact
the program developers so they can fix
the error in their program as soon as possible. We
also encourage you to do the same. |
External Website Listings
2BrightSparks have no control over the way
external websites describe and feature their
software. There have been occasions when our
software has been incorrectly named, or a download
for freeware has been incorrectly linked to
a trial. Please Contact
Us detailing the URL where you observed
this error.We
also encourage you to contact the website in
question.
Pirated Software

methods to obtain
