False positives reports?
When someone reports a false positive, is their a method performed to verify that it really is a false positive and not just someone trying to whitelist some malware/adware/etc ?

There's no foolproof way to know for sure whether a file is actually a false positive. All we can do is gather evidence — what other antivirus programs say, whether the file is from a trustworthy source, and exactly what type of malware the file is flagged as — before making our best guess!
I genuinely just use my best guess based on judgement and experience when I am presented with such !
