False positive is falsely and positively identifying a virus, i.e., an instance of wrongly labelling a program as a malicious program. False positive is considered as a drawback of a virus detection method. Minor weaknesses of any virus detection method can lead to false positives.

**1)** Due to the nature of exploiting, AV's such as Windows Defender & others incorrectly assume the software is unsafe. **2)** Developers obfuscate their software i.e making the code harder to prevent the source code from being tampered with. Since the code is harder to read to prevent others from stealing it, anti-viruses will wrongly assume the application is unsafe and detect it as a virus.
