Why are quarantined tar files being detected as malware during scans?

This issue has been occurring with multiple files since yesterday.

The file is located at the following path.

Trojan-Downloader:W97M/Dridex.X|None|On_demand_scanner.file_infection.nothing|C:\ProgramData\F-Secure\Quarantine\Repository\TAR\00000001.tar[1] 00000000

    I contacted WithSecure support, and they responded that it was a bug. On the support news page of the Japanese branch, where I received the response, there is a news post titled "[Notice] Regarding Detection of Quarantine Folder."

    I was instructed to register the relevant folder as an exclusion folder, so I have set it up accordingly and plan to monitor the situation.
