What is a False Positive?

I had done that already, more or less, but already summed up that much myself. I was actually more interested if/why a "flase positiv" is necessary in the first place.

Its not really a question if it's necessary or not. It's just that sometimes when people create a hack the code looks like a threat to the antivirus. Even though we know the code is safe, the antivirus does not. Thats why it detects the hack as a positive threat. Hence the term false positive

besides false-positive, there is also false-negative, or aka undetected

conclusion?-->Don't trust anti-virus 100%. AV result is only used as a reference, they are by no means the real/final answer

Best/only way to avoid infection is to only download programs directly from the trusted authors, do not use any second-hand programs.
