To prevent false alarms from antivirus software, keep your software up-to-date, download programs from trustworthy sources, report false alarms to the antivirus company, and mark trusted files so they won't be flagged incorrectly. You can also adjust the sensitivity settings of your antivirus to reduce false positives while still staying protected.

To minimize false positive detections by antivirus software, it's crucial to keep your antivirus program updated regularly. Additionally, maintain a whitelist of trusted files or directories, and promptly report any false positives to the antivirus provider for resolution and updates to improve accuracy.

Minimizing false positives with antivirus software requires relying on trusted sources for software downloads, ensuring regular updates to all programs and the antivirus itself, carefully adjusting settings to suit your needs and reduce unnecessary alerts, promptly reporting any false alarms to the antivirus vendor for analysis, and exercising caution when encountering unfamiliar files, links, or attachments to avoid triggering erroneous detections.
