MS Addresses False Positives In Anti-Piracy Tool

Microsoft is tackling the problem of false positives in its anti-piracy tool by adding a new category to the tool “indeterminate” for times when it can’t tell whether or not the OS is legit.

The company has added a new category to the tool, "indeterminate," for instances where it can't be sure whether the OS running on a user's PC is legitimate or not, said Michala Alexander, Microsoft's head of antipiracy for the U.K. Previous versions of the software labeled an OS as either valid or invalid.
