Hi Happy Easter if you are celebrating.
I scanned a new system with Webroot Secure Anywhere and a file that is part of an AMD Driver package is being flagged with W32.Coinminer.Gen.

I  uploaded the file to the Virus Total Website and Webroot was the only software that Detected the issue.
I have also submitted the file using the report function within Webroot Secure Anywhere which again flagged the file.

So if this is a false positive does anyone know what happens next and if it is not a false positive what should I do?
Thank you.

Hello ​@SXR6,

 

We have identified the reported False Positive and this has been corrected. You can safely restore from quarantine if you have not already done so. 

 

Thanks,
