Someone who downloaded RegBack wrote the above. Could it be a false positive? http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/registry_backup.html
Looking forward to your reply Shane.

Sure is a false positive. :smiley:
All they need to do is sumbit it to their AV and they will see it is a false positive and update their virus def's to fix it :wink:
You will see that a few lesser known AV's flag it with the "GEN" which stand for generic. Which is almost always a false positive. You will notice none of the bigger well known AV's flag it :wink:

That's what I thought. It was posted on Wilders Scurity Forum. I did already make a post on Wilders (Hitman Pro) thread regarding this. Just waiting their reply.
PS: I downloaded RegBack, scanned with Avast! free and MBAM free and these scans were clean.
Thanks Shane for getting back to me so fast!

Thanks and no problem :wink:
v1.4.0 of the reg backup will be out tomorrow :-)

This is the reply I got from the author of HitmanPro:

On VirusTotal, the detection of the setup file tweaking.com_registry_backup_setup.exe is 2/42, both false positives (by Antiy-AVL and ByteHero):

The detection of the main executable TweakingRegistryBackup.exe is 0/42:

You can safely use the program.
