A "False Positive" occurs when a test incorrectly indicates the presence of a condition or attribute that is not actually there. For example, in medical testing, a patient might receive a positive result for a disease they do not have, leading to unnecessary worry and further testing. In the context of technology, false positives can happen in security systems, such as antivirus software, which may mistakenly identify a safe file as a threat. This can result in disruptions and inefficiencies, as users may need to investigate or remove files that are actually harmless.
