📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a false positive alert from Webroot, which reports viruses in PA 10.2.1, despite VirusTotal and Malwarebytes showing no issues. The main concern is whether Webroot is mistakenly identifying the software as malicious, and users are advised to contact Webroot support or mark it as a false positive if downloaded from a reputable source. The original poster also suggests checking if PA appears in Webroot and mentions using a trial version with a temporary email for testing.

PA 10.2.1 is reported as having 2 viruses by Webroot. VirusTotal.com reports no virus, and Malwarebytes scan reports no virus as well. Why does Webroot report a virus?
An image from 'Aomei Partition Assistant 10.2.1 is a virus'. Screenshots show two malware detections by Webroot and a clean scan result.

The tool may exhibit characteristics similar to malware. I would open a support ticket with webroot for them to resolve it on their end. If you downloaded the software from a reputable source than you may want to simply mark it as a false positive within Webroot
