False Positives - do not delete files

As one of those who rarely gets infected, I do not trust any reported issues without investigating further. That is certainly a major advantage when one has mostly managed to keep a given system issue free. Got one item, only, today and it is clearly a false positive determination:

FALSE POSITIVE: Malware Bytes' Anti-Malware:

wextract.exe mbam - Google Search

MBAM db 1820: F/P of Wextract.exe as Trojan.Vundo - DELL COMMUNITY

c:\windows\system32\wextract.exe (Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor, by Microsoft) is being erroneously detected as Trojan.Vundo. do *NOT* remove it.
