    So I was right, it was the version number! Is it possible to make sure the false positive is eliminated with all versions?

    yes, you were right.

    It is possible however it would be easier if mirc would use signed code. Since this is not the case we are dependend on a file whitelist which requires to get updated regularly which could lead to missing files in the whitelist. The later could be an issue if malware misused mirc files or uses files which are similar to mirc files.
