Frequently Asked Questions
During the installation of SweepMe!, my antivirus program e.g. Sophos, prompts a warning, why?
Last Updated 4 years ago
We also experienced that programs like Sophos can sometimes show a warning and prevent the start of the executable. The warning is called ML/PE-A detection and you can find more information here:

Basically, it is related to a machine learning algorithm that is not save from finding false positives, i.e. file that are ok, but still seem to have similarities to suspicious pattern.
To enable the start of the SweepMe!, please permit the use of 'SweepMe!.exe" in your antivirus program.
If you feel that something is different from described above or is somehow suspicious, please report your observations and we will have a look.
