Unless the file is a backdoor trojan, in that case it's correct in identifying it. A good AV program will confirm or deny this.
not "unless"... Because a good Anti-virus
(and not a firewall program as that shouldn't be its function; let AV's detect such stuff; each program type his own dedicated functions is far better than a tool which claims to do all but almost always only does half the job) will detect real backdoor trojans, but will not give false alarms for something which hasn't got anything to do with connecting to the net, opening ports, doing malicious stuff, etc...
In short: the detection methods of that firewall program are wrong, since it gives false alerts.
To give almost a rediculus comparisson: I can write a simple program which give alerts for everything you start, and thus also a real trojan. Does that mean my so called "detection methods" are good and I should sell this as a firewall program which also detects virusses?
