Is that virus warning real? How to spot false alarms

The testing official explained to Procolored that both Google Chrome and Microsoft Defender had triggered an alarm when the printer software was downloaded, and quarantined it.

Despite Procolored's protests, the tester persisted. He sent the software to the security company G Data, a manufacturer of antivirus programs.

Upon investigation, it turned out that the printer software actually contained a backdoor virus called Xred and a Trojan.

When G Data then confronted Procolored with the results, the company admitted that a virus had crept into its download area and provided a new version of its software.
