Anti virus false positives

[xJon]

Hi! Recently we started using MixinBooter in Hexxit II alongside @Clienthax's patch to fix an incompatibility with Mo' Creatures. Unfortunately since then we've gotten a few reports of people not being able to download the modpack due to Windows Defender / their anti virus programs. We can't reproduce this easily and it doesn't happen to everyone:

Do you think there's anything that can done about this? Thanks in advance!

Should just have to report it to Microsoft as false positive https://github.com/Anc813/MicMute/issues/18

Seeing as it's a .zip, I'm guessing you repacked it?

[xJon]

@Rongmario It is required to repack each individual mod for Technic Solder; inside the .zip it's just a mods folder with the .jar mod file inside

@xJon I see. Just ran though Virustotal and got the same result; try reporting it for being a false positive. Windows Defender for me doesn't pick anything up though, could be to do with me testing on a Win11 instance.

@Rongmario Reported false positive both to Windows Defender & Ikarus, you can do that too over https://github.com/hankhank10/false-positive-malware-reporting, might help.

[Rongmario]

@xJon done, it seems like mods with Mixin library are getting flagged.

[clienthax]

Not surprising given the nature of it tbh

Hopefully we'll get a response from Windows Defender soon, too.

Closing this as it is now fixed.
