Description

Webroot SecureAnywhere CE 22.2 running on Windows 10 x64 21H2 identifies C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Keybase\kbfsdokan.exe as a trojan. I have compared the checksum of the file to another Windows deployment and found it to be an identical copy of the file so I do not believe this specific machine to be infected. Please let me know if there is any other info I can provide.

Research direction

Start with the reported Windows 10 x64 environment and the file at C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Keybase\kbfsdokan.exe, then investigate why Webroot SecureAnywhere CE 22.2 identifies it as a trojan. The issue names no source files or tests; done would require determining whether the detection is a false positive and identifying a project-side resolution or the additional information Webroot needs.
