Well, have you contacted ALWIL in any way regarding false positives? Just complaining and not telling it to anyone won't help at all.

When I had a few FPs recently, I submitted them and in the next update, it was already solved.

I believe SD w AV to be a very good product and have used it for some time now.

I do have Avira AV installed as a backup stand alone scanner which I use every month or so just for a double check. So far Avira has not found anything that SD w AV didn't. If you use Avira as I do, make sure that you disable the onguard protection so that is does not conflict with SD w AV.

And as a final note, when you do Avira updates it presents an annoying pop up promoting you to upgrade to pro. Simply close it.

I would uncheck the guard during custom install rather than disabling.
