Yes, just submit the file to them, that would be very helpful, they will see it is a false positive and remove it.
Almost 99% of anything detected as a "GEN" which stands for generic is a false positive. My stuff constantly gets flagged as a GEN, files I haven't updated in years will get it someday and I am having to always send the files to them to remove the false positive. it is a pain in the butt and the amount of false positives is insane lol
Basically a GEN detection is a "Hey, this file has some bits about it that are close to the bits of a certain virus, even though it isnt the virus we will still falg it"
This is their "Detect new and unknown viruses" scan, which is crap and always have been lol
My programs are made in old school VB6, and so any virus ever written in VB6 causes any small vb6 app to get flagged at some point. As a test I took a new VB6 project, not a single line of code, complied it and uploaded it to virustotal.com and 35 antivirues flagged that empty exe as a GEN virus of all different types. Thats when I knew their scans where crap lol
Then I took the same exe and had VB6 compile it as P-code instead of native code, uploaded it and only 8 flagged it.
So never trust what your AV says right off the bat. And if you ever want to know for sure then upload the file to virustotal.com and see what other AVs say. You will see a lot of times only 1 or 2 flag it while no others do, thats when it is a good chance it is a false positive.
Also keep in mind a lot of AV's share their virus defs. Bitdefender defs seem to be shared the most, so if bitdefender flags something then you will have at least 8 or more on virustotal flag it as the same gen virus as well since they all use the same defs.
