    Default netsh.exe incorrectly detected as Smitfraud-C

    Hi,

    Got a false positive after running a scan with the detection updates for 3rd November. Here's the result in question -

    Smitfraud-C.: User settings (Registry value, nothing done)
    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-725345543-1229272821-682003330-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache\C:\WINDOWS\system32\netsh.exe

    Just to be sure i uploaded netsh.exe to VirusTotal and it got a clean bill of health.

    /G.

    How do I report a potential false positive? what is netsh.exe and VirusTotal. Maybe someone can point me to some step by step documentation or website.

    Thanks,
