Google Web Safe - reports MicroTrends downloads as malicious - false positive
Pinned Featured<p>Our website and programs have been running the same way for many years with no bad reports - then suddenly Norton, Avast, Microsoft, Bing, Google start providing erroneous false positives about the MicroTrends Downloads website.</p>
<p>So some traders are reporting such screens as this when downloading:</p>

<ul>
<li><span>This is 100% FALSE POSITIVE - not correct all software is 100% Safe</span></li>
<li>SSL - http://downloads.microtrends.co has an SSL certificate so you can access via - https://downloads.microtrends.co</li>
<li>All software setup programs are protected and encrypted with SHA 256 Symantec Code Signing Certificates - so if the installer is tampered with the certificate is broken if the installer is original you can see the certificate in question by right clicking the installer file > properties > Digital Signatures</li>
<li>All NinjaTrader assemblies inside the setup program are code signed and timestamped with <span> SHA 256 Symantec Code Signing Certificates and verisign - the best in the industry.</span></li>
<li><span>Some installers on <span>http://downloads.microtrends.co will extract some loose .cs files to the NinjaTrader folders so that developers can use the indicators and software developer kits - so it could be due to the this not so common approach AV and Web safe programs simply assume the worst.</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>We have reported and cleared with Avast, Norton and Microsoft. Bing and Google will not listen and so therefore we are not able to offer a way around any erroneous reports from them - you should simple bypass and ignore their warnings -then when you save the downloads you can inspect the certificates:<img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/MicroTrends/folders/Jing/media/b7f5bdc7-2ba6-406a-9a2f-0701e9fcd7b5/Checking%20your%20download%20is%20safe%20from%20MicroTrends%20Downloads%20Website.png" alt="" width="1503" height="805" /></span></span></li>
</ul>
