SpyHunter 4 showing snap.do infesting ublock origin #1009

Hello, SpyHunter 4 is detecting snap.do;ublock0@raymondhill.net.xpi, 7 infections, after installing ublock origin on 7 different profiles in Firefox 42.0. If I "fix" this issue using SpyHunter 4, it uninstalls ublock origin from Firefox. I installed ublock origin via about:addons. Any help with this would be appreciated. I have not had any problems with ublock origin up to this point and would like to continue using the product. Thanks.

False Positive. Unless something running on your machine infested..
And please check it on virustotal.com by uploading your .xpi file, to confirm its a False Positive!

Yes, false positive. I will add SpyHunter 4 among the malware detectors which falsely flag uBO: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Software-known-to-have-uninstalled-uBlock-Origin.

There is nothing for uBO to do, the fix is for SpyHunter to stop falsely flagging uBO as infected. I don't know how that software works, maybe you can mark uBO as safe to avoid the false positive, or you have to report the false positive to SpyHunter maintainers.

SpyHunter is well known for engaging in false advertising, to say the least...
