Kaspersky flags ACC as virus

[Fob-io]

Hello Albert meanwhile, I want to thank you for the excellent work you have done over the years

Unfortunately, as written in the title, I'm here to report a problem I'm having in downloading the latest version (I attach screenshots)

(sorry for the language, but i use Chrome in Italian)

I hope you manage to solve this thing and I take this opportunity I wish you happy holidays

Glad you like the project :)

It says something about virus?

Chrome doesn't say Anything, but i tried updating from the Desktop App and the Antivirus (Kaspersky) had discovered a Trojan

It's hard getting Anti Virus softwares to trust anything that doesn't have millions of downloads, sadly. It might be because I just had to sign the software with a new key, as the old one expired, but I can assure you; no Trojan horse (or any other kind of harmful stuff) is in the new update (or any old).

Will reach out to Kaspersky and see if they can shine some light on it - thanks :)

BTW, i have downloaded the .exe on my Macbook and dropped by SMB on my Windows Desktop after deactivating Kaspersky

IT WORKS!

If you'd go to this link and follow the guide that shows how to mark it as a false positive, it'd help a lot! https://support.kaspersky.com/common/error/other/1870, would like for it to not trigger a warning at all.

Bitdefender doesn't like the un/installer.

@anthonybaldwin please help by submitting a False Positive report here; https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/29358/

Kaspersky replied with this today;

"Sorry, it was a false detection. It will be fixed. Thank you for your help."

So that should be fixed soon - closing issue.
