Antivirus False Positives

(1/2) > >>

JimH:
We're seeing a number of false positive reports from antivirus software on the new MC33 download file. 

Please report them to your antivirus provider.

We strongly recommend using only Windows Defender.

If you question our opinion, please visit https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload and check yourself.

Or take a look at this thread:  https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=86096.msg588759#msg588759

kcshowman:
VirusTotal reports that both Avast and AVG are reporting the downloaded install file as a trojan.

Awesome Donkey:
Avast and AVG are owned by the same company, so it shouldn't be a surprise that both are reporting this false positive.

The other 66 companies say it's clean.  Which side would you believe?

These companies make mistakes _all_the_time.  If you're skeptical, read our thread on antivirus problems:  https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=86096.msg588759#msg588759

I think they look for patterns in files and patterns in behavior and then they guess.

patented_licks:
Using the latest Windows 11 64-bit OS, trying to download MC 33 via Edge, Windows Defender took strong objection. The magic 3-dot menu option let me override the ornery Defender and grab the prize.
