I have heard back from one of the advisors:
Yes, that does look like a false positive. Send them to post in the false positives forum,

Then link to the false positive forum section:

It would be helpful if you asked him to post a link to his "remove Generic.Ransom.VxLock.E31AD1D6" thread in his false positive post as well, so they can look at the thread if they want any further info.

Do I need to subscribe to the False Positives thread?
I found that I was already subscribed: back in 2019
I'm not sure how that forum works but would think you would need to subscribe to the topic you create.

I have posted to False Positives and linked by thread to our thread.

Thank you for your help.
I will check my wife's PC to see whether it is also OK.
Got my fingers crossed.

My wife's PC no longer shows VxLock
favicons.sqlite on her PC is 44 MB ! I found a way, in Mozilla Help, of copying existing bookmarks to a newly installed Firefox. Perhaps this will reduce size of favicons and stop Firefox crashing.
