I'm pretty sure that this is a false positive...

I just bought a new gaming mouse from Patriot https://www.viper.patriotmemory.com/viperv570blackout
 
I installed the software to be able to change DPI, rgb color, and gaming profile settings. Webroot didn't look at the program as a dangerous one upon installation and after however it did detect that the uninstall executable was "adware". I find this quite odd and are almost certain that this is a false positive as Patriot would not do anything as such. I tried selecting the "Restore" option but it still blocks it. How can I exclude it? And what do you guys think about this?

I highly recommend reaching out to our support team so they can recalssify this. They will have a few more questions to further qualify the site/software, however it's best if they work with you directly as they can gather information better.
 
They can be reached at 1-866-612-4227, or by clicking here.

Here is some info from the VT results and what Webroot says about the file and the MD5 Hash!

I reached out to them. They responded pretty quickly, I was surprised. They said they had taken necessary actions and marked it as "Good". I had scanned it again and it had no detections. 🙂

Ok perfect! Thank you for taking the time to do that.
