IMHO better safe the sorry, if there is a questionable app take it out.

Well, in my view it realy depends as to what they mean by 'questionable'...what may be questionbable to some may be quite normal to others...and to be honest one has to epect a degree of FPs from any security application...as nothing is 100% accurate all of the time. ;)
