There is nothing more we can do on our side other than our usual routine of scanning our application files and submitting false positives. these Contributors allows a user to check for viruses that the users own antivirus software may have missed, or to verify against any false positives. Submitting for whitelisting your setup package before each release (even this can be time consuming) is the best way to avoid such false detections. So to avoid such unpleasant situations we always recommend our customers to submit their setup package (before each release) to the AV vendors for being whitelisted. However, as the antivirus product heuristics change from one day to another and the false detections occur very often it is really difficult for us to continuously keep all our application files whitelisted, even if we try to do all our best. Dealing with each false positive is a lot of work compared to simply adding the item to a list and having. We will try to contact those AV vendors and report these false positives. Will give you zero virus and malware detections.īest regards and good luck cleaning your device.Indeed at the current time it seems the Updater tool delivered with AI 15.1 is falsely detected by 2 AV products: Rising and VBA32, while the Updater tool delivered with AI 14.5.1 is falsely detected by 4 AV products: NANO-Antivirus, VBA32, Zillya and Yandex. 70 different antivirus and anti-malware engines at once.

To answer your question, if it is really necessary to go through all the needed steps to verify the gpg signature: it is always a choice of logic and trust, combined with clearance. I found Zillya and have sent them a support request to mark these files as. The best practice, if your security group is alerted by a single positive, is to wait for an adequate period of time, without implementing the software in question.Ī valid positive will, in time, always result in more engines detecting an application as a thread. This is not the first time, that clean software is detected as false positive by engines. There can be several reasons why different antivirus scanners treat different legitimate programs and files as threats, depending on whether the scanners are signature-based, heuristics-based, or use behavior analysis for malware detection. This happens when such a tool includes or uses the abandoned Zillya Antivirus software, see screenshot of the alert.

Standalone Exe Antivirus False Positive Alert Our Standalone Executable file may give a warning when scanned by or other Antivirus aggregator scanning tools.
