    Thanks - but (for future reference) - how did you know that it was family tree maker that caused the false positive ?

    The ESET log gives you the filename, path to file & SHA1 hash value.

    This gives you all you need to help uniquely identify the file. As onezy said, you can then cross reference that against software databases.

    You need to say exactly what was detected

    eg:

    C:\directory\folder\sub folder\filename.ext

    Once again, it's important exactly what was detected (Path/File).
