So this leads to heaps of false positives. Some potential users may be discouraged by avast threat warnings. I think Avast gets a little too far ahead of its self trying to detect viruses 'in the wild'. Anyone repackaging it is doing so illegally and probably adding actual malware to it.Īs a side note, AVG is having a ton of issues with false positives in the last day or so. From mmagnuski on Ap20:3 I am sure this is false positive, but thought I will let you know. We can't legally distribute the files of CDex in our own package as CDex is no longer open source. You can choose to use CDex or not based on this.
#AVAST WIN32 MALWARE GEN FALSE POSITIVE PORTABLE#
If you scan all the files that make up CDex Portable after its installed, you'll note that it's clean other than a generic false positive in Cylance. Alla varumärken tillhör respektive ägare i USA och andra länder. What's important to realize is that our online installer bypasses the usual CDex installer and extracts just the files themselves. The rest correctly identify it as installer bundleware. Avast just started detecting C:WINDOWSsetpwr32.exe as 'Win32:Malware-gen' virus. Ī couple of the antivirus engines are dumb/wrong and just show a generic 'malware' detection. The scan for CDex on the other hand will show that it contains FusionCore/InstallCore, a type of bundleware in its installer. Here's the scan across all engines for our online installer. Whenever you encounter a detection, use VirusTotal or MetaDefender to check a bunch of antivirus engines. Other:Malware-gen Trj Type: Malware (could be a false-positive) Detected by: Avast and AVG: Related: Win32:Malware-gen, Hacktool:win32/keygen, Win32:Dropper-gen: Infiltration : The detection might pop-up at any time and might stem from malicious browser extensions, installed apps, or various components stored within the browser.
