Adware detected in Boris.exe

My work Malwarebytes detected Adware.IStartSurf in the Boris 7.1.4 executable (see screenshot). Assuming this is a false positive? Can anyone confirm?

Hi, it already happened with Avira and F-Secure for other BORIS versions. I uploaded the suspected file to the support labs of these society and they answered that it was a false positive.

Maybe the last version of BORIS (7.4) will not trigger your antivirus.

Thanks for reporting

Hi, Adobe Reader DC was also impacted as you can see in this forum: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/238807-adobe-reader-dc-adwareistartsurf-issue/

I do not found a place to load file to be checked on the Malwarebytes web site...
