Suspicious file: You think a file is suspicious and you moved it to the quarantine.
But the check of the file for viruses and malware is negative.
False positive: You are quite sure that a detection is a false positive: Avira AntiVir
Professional detects a file which is very unlikely to be malware.
Tip
The size of the file is limited to 20 MB unpacked or 8 MB packed.
You can upload several files by marking all files you want to upload and by clicking
on the button “Send object”.
You should also scan the suspicious files after a few days (between 5 and 10) with
the latest virus definitions (press “F2” or right click and “Rescan object”). If the files
are detected again they are very likely to be real viruses and should be deleted. If
they are not detected as malware they have been false positives and can be
restored.

6. Quick Tips
Procedure in case of a virus attack
If the guard or the scanner should detect a virus on your system, you should scan the
whole system for infected files. As many programs have exclusive read and write
access on different files, a scan in the safe mode is reasonable.
As the safe mode is not available on server operation systems we recommend you to
boot with our rescue CD and to clean the PC with this CD in case of a definitive
attack.
You find the rescue CD on the following link:
