3 antivirus at virustotal.com mention both windows clients (win7 and win8) contain malware

[migoli 0]

Hello,

Today I have taken a subscription for 1 month, hoping to extend it later to one year if everything works as I hope.

I have downloaded both versions of the Windows client (for win7 and for win10) and as I allways do with all software before installing, I submited the applications to the virustotal.com site.

 

Both versions get flagged by 3 of the 53 antivirus packages as containing malware.

These are the 3 negative results:

Antivirus                  Result

ClamAV                    Win.Adware.Outbrowse-1204

Jiangmin                   Backdoor.Generic.abmt

McAfee-GW-Edition BehavestLike.Win32.Tool.wc

 

Any comments?

I am attaching the resulting screenshots for the win10 version and the win7 version.

Hello!

 

So, our software is free and open source, 50 antivirus say that the package is just fine, but since 3 of them claim a bunch of highly dangerous threats, you have doubts and need a comment?

 

Kind regards

Examine the actual names and you will notice something:

 

Backdoor.Generic.abmt

BehavestLike.Win32.Tool.wc

 

It's generic. It behaves like. Means, "I found something, but I don't know what it is". Heuristics in a nutshell.

We had this in the past, by the way.

Yeah I have never had a virus issues with any of the Windows Clients, I scanned them with Avast and Bit defender.. TWo virus scanners I trust, and they both came up fine.  I wouldn't worry about the 3 false positives, look at the remaining 50 clean scans.
