False Positives for VLC media player due to Bkav.

I have been getting a large number of false positives from one of the virus scanners you use, (BKAV FE) regarding the VLC media player. I have it set to ignore false positives but I don't want to have any more false positives when scanning with HerdProtect anymore. Is it possible to submit these files for further analysis? If not should I just ignore the false positives from now on. Thank-you.

There will be always false positives when running a high amount of different AV solutions. There would be a chance of getting lower values by removing some of these AV engines, even so. The chance of FP will never be 0%. I recommend you ignoring these AV's and focusing on the ones with the lower FP ratios, like Kaspersky and Bitdefender. MBAM and ESET do great as well.
