enginestar Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I always run through virustotal.com any exe files. (+ I only every install things rarely and ONLY from trusted sources.) 3 flags: Jiangmin: Backdoor.DarkKomet.kcu Rising: Malware.Heuristic!ET#80% (RDMK:cmRt C2AE: UNKNOWN_VERDICT The website runs against 60-70 virus scanners. When you upload the file, it doesn't upload as such. It calculates a hash number that is unique to the file - only start uploading if no previous match found or you force an uplaod. The above virus checkers are maybe bogus ones... But why would there be any flag at all? I trust Serif. Another program... I would have given a lot more thought before running. Any thoughts?

Jowday Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 False positives are quite normal. These scanner are sometimes looking for patterns similar to those of threats. I had to contact the company behind my virus scanner a few times because of false positives - they then cleared the file of suspicion in the next update. Never had the problem with Serif software though. I am not worried Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
