Multicommander - Can Trend Micro stop flagging Multicommander as trojan virus infected

Can Trend Micro stop flagging Multi Commander as Trojan virus infected?
Corporate computers are not allowing the software because of this false positive.
Trend Micro must make their algorithms smarter by stop flagging good software as false positive.
Or is there a reason Trend Micro is doing this?

Hi there,

Thanks for flagging this, and sorry for the trouble — a false positive on MultiCommander is frustrating, especially when it's blocking a tool your team relies on.

What you're likely seeing is a heuristic/behavior-based detection: Trend Micro flags files based on patterns common in malware rather than a confirmed signature, which occasionally catches legitimate software too.

To get this resolved:

1. Submit the file for analysis so our threat research team can verify it and correct the detection. Steps here: Trend Micro program detects valid files and programs as malicious (https://helpcenter.trendmicro.com/en-us/article/tmka-19658)
2. In the meantime, you or your IT admin can add MultiCommander.exe to the Exception/Trusted list in your Trend Micro console so it stops being terminated on corporate machines.

Once the sample's verified, the detection gets corrected in a pattern update. Let us know if you need help locating the exception list for your specific Trend Micro product.
