Clean File Metadata Exchange Makes it Easy to Separate Malware from Safe Files | PCMag.com: "False positives are often the result of antivirus software encountering a safe program too new to recognize. IEEE's solution hinges on the Clean File Metadata Exchange (CMX) service. With CMX, software authors can submit metadata for new files such as new programs or updates to existing programs before they are even released. Security vendors could then access this data in real-time to stay current with the latest legitimate files and prevent their programs from flagging them as malware."
