The kmplayer has been detected as a threat.
It is quite a popular media player.

It had been a player clean of ads and now they have ads by pandora.tv
Is that why it has been flagged a threat?

Hello
 
Please be sure that you are downloading from the official site and not a third-party download site. The installers downloaded from http://cdn.kmplayer.com/KMP/player/download/install/3.9.1.134_20150310010236.exe will not be detected.

I always  install from official websites.
Reported to webroot support and they replied that the false positive has been reversed.

I saw a report of this earlier and it had been corrected.
