Kaspersky antivirus has marked surfshark endpointprotection as malware

Hi friends, I use surfshark vpn, which also includes an antivirus, and suddenly, after a long time, kaspersky antivirus marked surfshark antivirus as PDM: Trojan. isn't it a false positive?

Welcome to Kaspersky Community.

 

Probably it's a false positive, but...

 

I don't use SurfShark VPN, but does it come with some kind of anti-malware module or something similar? The name of the file detected is endpointprotection.exe ?

 

Anyway, that detection comes from System Watcher, it's a PDM (Proactive Defense Module), and can't be fixed simply sending the file via KOTIP , You have to report it via K. Support, They will request to generate K. traces while reproducing the issue, and then send them.

It's a K. detection only on execution, but not on demand scan, it's based on the behavior of that file when it is running. That's why You should report it via K. Support

Also @QuantumHacked

  1. This is the guide to follow: Files to send to Kaspersky technical support in case of PDM malware detection
  2. zip the executable, add a password, either MALWARE or INFECTED & tell support the password
