Misleading result from Anti-Malware

I got really nothing against this product, but when it starts giving me misleading result, it drives me mad when the hype in various forums talks about how great this is. Just because a MS files is outside the normal directory doesn't mean it infected. E.g. if you install hotfixes, and the backup directories will contains these executable.

Or a user may simply choose to copy some of the files as a backup. The point is that to the end user unless he is technically incline, he would have thought this is an infection, when there is NO THREAT to the system at all.

This is the result from Virustotal.com.
