FOSS software being marked as malware/pua, false positive submission system doesn't work

Ilgaz

I noticed Bitdefender Free detects "Angry IP Scanner" as some hack tool/PUA with a frightening looking name so I wanted to submit false positive. The page:

https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/29358/ doesn't function at all. I even added the pointless screenshot.

My bug report to Angry IP Scanner repo issues have all the details:

The detection is correct; many vendors on VirusTotal detect it as potentially unsafe. Currently, the standalone/offline installer is detected, but not the online installer. Below are the VirusTotal links for both.

If you want to use the software, kindly add it to the exclusion list in your Bitdefender product.

1) Temporarily disable Bitdefender Protection: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/28557/

2) Set exclusions in Bitdefender Antivirus: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/13427/

3) Set exclusions in Bitdefender Advanced Threat Defense: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/2393/

4) Re-enable real-time protection in Bitdefender.

That being said, the Bitdefender malware submission website is working perfectly. Below is the image.
