Emsisoft false positives, any steam gamers here?

[ComputerRepairTech]

The amount of false positives with Emsisoft has just been excessive, from what I can tell it basically requires a program to be fairly popular in order for it to slide through. I just wanted to know if others are seeing the same thing? One of the most common false positives is various steam games that I grab, anyone out there with various indie titles or games by small companies that can confirm emsisoft is quarantining the exe files by default unless you catch the popup?

The only game out my 200 odd that had any issues was DOOM. It quarantined the DOOM.exe file. I sent a support request to Emsisoft (useless since @Umbra left them) got a reply to "scan it on Virus Total!" Yeah, big help Emsisoft!
I just "allowed" it and no problems since.
Emsisoft is a great product but their support sucks!

Nod to @Umbra who seemed to be the only one that did actually care and helped me sort (other) issues.

I have some games on Steam that I play. I've never had any issues with them and Emsisoft.

The only game out my 200 odd that had any issues was DOOM. It quarantined the DOOM.exe file.

This is funny, because I think DOOM.exe was a legit virus awhile ago.

Close, but I think your thinking of "MyDoom.exe.
I did actually scan it on Virus Total, from memory only 2 av's flagged it. Neither were "mainstream" and one I'd never heard of.
Strange that Emsisoft didn't flag it on Virus total?

A bigger issue for me is that EAM keeps quarantining @AlexCa 's WRT!
Drives me crazy!

Hmm... false positives and other stuff like that I usually email Partner@emsisoft.com with additional information

if my memory is good, on VT, Emsi's cloud isn't used.
