MessenPass false positives increased to 17

As I predicted in my previous post about MessenPass false positives , the number of false positives alerts in the new version of MessenPass increased to 17, according to VirusTotal report.

The new false alerts are:

a-squared – Trojan.Generic!IK
AntiVir – SPR/PSW.Messen.DC
Antiy-AVL – PSWTool/Win32.Messen.gen
Comodo – UnclassifiedMalware
Fortinet – HackerTool/Messen
McAfee-GW-Edition – Riskware.PSW.Messen.DC
ViRobot – Not_a_virus:PSWTool.Messen.64512.B
