Ransomware reported in Foxit Reader

G'day,
Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware is reporting a threat in FoxitReaderPortable_7.3.4.0311.paf.exe.
Two out of the 56 testers at Virustotal report something amiss with this file.
The MD5 hash of the file downloaded/tested file matches the MD5 hash reported on PortableApps.com.

2/56 = Clean

2 out of 56 on Virus Total means that it is clean and there are 2 false positives. Malwarebytes seems to have rather frequent false positives. Avast's own installer has been known to register 2 false positives on occasion. Even Virus Total's own uploader utility will have false positives.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

G'day,

G'day,
Thank you for the reply. I have also reported the issue to Malwarebytes as a false positive trigger.
