smickorandy Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 my antivirus has started to flag the demo version as a trojan. (windows defender) not concerned as i know its safe, however i thought id point it out in case anyone else encounters this.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland@pcmtec Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 This seems to happen from time to time. For some reason one anti virus will flag a false positive then the rest copy each other so we play whack a mole for weeks flagging false positives everywhere. I will submit the demo again as a false positive. Thanks for the report. If this happens to anyone else can you post a screenshot up like this?

Sandrusya Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 hi! which antivirus shows that? (I collect information for https://antivirus-review.com/ and you response can be useful fr our readers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland@pcmtec Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Lots of crappy heuristic engines out there. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a0e37e7c165c00abbde30f62e5bdd93e86f1d002bc3c34c1dcdba8e5e2b9921b We had our certificate revoked due to the packer we used to use causing too many false positives. Commodo are a bunch of pricks and bulk revoked certs that had false positives against them without contacting the companies in question. The fact most of these engines mark all packed exes as malicious is absurd, what is even more absurd is they whitelist your exe by just emailing them. So that means if I was writing a virus, I could just email all the companies to get it whitelisted. Other than known widely distributed exploits anti virus is useless.

You should write an article about the sad state of software signing certs, anti virus and false positives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
