Why does Malwarebytes view a Windows 3.1 program as malware?

I still use a lot of prgorams that I've been using since as far back as I've been using computers, though in some cases I've had to go hunting for downloads to find some I've lost. Like this thing:

Handy little mouse tool. Right-click selects weapons, left-click shoots. You can destroy your desktop or whatever windows you had open before activating it...

...which is handy for destroying certain annoying people on Twitter:

It makes me feel better. Sue me.

Here's what I don't understand: Malwarebytes views the program as malware, although AVG doesn't. It isn't malware but it keeps getting recognized as such by 1 of the 2 system checkers I've got.

Why is that?

I recall using a that program or one like it. The hammer for sure and a gun if I recall. I don't know but you can tell it to ignore it if you want. I recall AVG once removing part of UT each time it scanned when it was wrong.

Don't think AVG ever did that to my UT... but now i'm worried.

Thanks.

Yeah, it used to pull out some part of UT that was required to start it up. It did that for about 6 months before the file finally got added to the master AVG whitelist. Very annoying. I can't recall now but you either had to reinstall or copy that single file back to your install from the original CD.

If you searched hard enough, you'd find the discussion about it on this forum somewhere. Wow! When I consider all of the history this place has her I'm just amazed. So many awesome discussions about everything from Flak cannons to spam!
