False Positives

A "false positive", also known as a "false alarm", occurs when anti-virus, spyware protection, anti-keylogging, or anti-hacking software detects a legitimate and trusted program, folder, or file as a problem, when in fact there is no threat.

Our software has in the past been incorrectly flagged. Please Contact Us if you observe any program that provides spurious reports that our software is a threat. We will then immediately contact the program developers so they can fix the error in their program as soon as possible. We also encourage you to do the same.

Program or Website	False Positive Report	Status
Norton 10th April 2026	Norton's "Behavioral Protection" (SONAR) wrongly flags the digitally signed SyncBackPro installer (SyncBackPro64_Setup.exe) as IDP.Generic during installation, quarantining SyncBackPro.exe and removing its scheduled tasks and firewall rule. IDP.Generic is a heuristic detection, not a signature match — Norton flags the file based on the behavior it observes, not because the file matches a known threat. The actions it objected to (stopping the running copy of SyncBackPro, replacing its executable, and updating its scheduled tasks) are normal, expected behavior for any installer performing an in-place upgrade of an already-installed program. Workaround in Norton: Open Norton and go to Security History. Locate the IDP.Generic entry for SyncBackPro64_Setup.exe (or SyncBackPro.exe). Click Restore & Exclude this file to restore the file and whitelist it for future scans. If the installation was interrupted, re-run SyncBackPro64_Setup.exe to complete the upgrade. Your existing backup profiles are not affected.	Reporting Error
Kaspersky 8th April 2026	Wrongly identifies the SyncBackSE V12 and V11 executable (SyncBackSE.exe) as containing Trojan-Spy.Win32.Stealer.fqmz. The long values in the links below are the SHA-256 hash of the SyncBackSE.exe file. A SHA-256 hash is a unique fingerprint for a file — it guarantees that the exact same file was scanned and verified as clean. VirusTotal scans confirm the files are clean: V12 VirusTotal Report, V11 VirusTotal Report. Kaspersky's own threat intelligence portal also confirms both files are clean: V12 Kaspersky OpenTIP Report, V11 Kaspersky OpenTIP Report. Workaround in Kaspersky: To allow SyncBackSE to run, add it as an exclusion: Open Kaspersky and go to Settings (gear icon). Navigate to Security Settings → Exclusions and actions on detection. Click Manage exclusions, then click Add. Browse to the SyncBackSE executable (SyncBackSE.exe) and add it. Ensure the exclusion is enabled, then click Save.	Reporting Error
