Duplicate File Cleaner Pro (v3) Flagged as Malware

[hammonj7]

Wanted to share in case this was a false positive.

Here is what Microsoft Forefront Endpoint is showing:

PUA:Win32/CandyOpen

Alert Level: Severe

Category: Potentially Unwanted Software

Description: This program has potentially unwanted behavior.

Recommended action: Remove this software immediately.

uninstall:HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\UNINSTALL\Duplicate Cleaner Pro

I held on to the version 3 installer, but Forefront removed it when it was flagged.

It's probably a false positive - this happens sometimes. I've double checked on VirusTotal (Duplicate Cleaner Pro 3.2.7) with the major AV engines and it seems OK.

Be sure to update your virus definitions and software.
