Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I used to believe Clamwin scan and thought it wouldn't show false positives.Thank you for clarification though.
No matter what antivirus scanner you use, you will run into false positives. You can use something like VirusTotal or MetaDefender online to verify. ClamAV has more issues with false positives on Windows as it is more Linux-centric. They are pretty responsive in dealing with false positive reports, though.
