Installation Anti-Virus Incompatability: /bin/Mesh.exe #12

Open WavEC opened 7 years ago

WavEC commented 7 years ago

When i was trying to install the DTOcean tool i had to shutdown my anti-virus as it was picking up part of the installation (the /bin/Mesh.exe file) as an Trojan Horse...

Yeah, not sure about this one. Its a file from NEMOH.

I've opened a bug report on their forums which is here: http://lheea.ec-nantes.fr/redmine/boards/3/topics/674

Can you provide more details? Which anti-virus was this? Is there more detail about the virus that was detected?

WavEC commented 7 years ago

The anti-virus were both "F-Secure" and "Trend Micro", in two different computers. Both detected the file has an Trojan Horse. No more information than this is given unfortunately.

H0R5E commented 7 years ago

I think it can be assumed that these are false positives. Some of the ".bat" files in the source code are also considered malicious by some anti-virus. I'm not even sure that its utilised.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this problem. As far as I know, Nemoh is free from viruses thus it must be a false positive.

Aurélien

This looks like a false positive so we will add some warnings in the documentation. I'll leave this open until that work is completed.

H0R5E commented 5 years ago

I'm going to leave this one open to see if anyone is still encountering this issue with version 2.0.0

Hi WavEC and HOR5E.

FYI, I have this same issue with Mesh.exe today. I was trying run Nemoh matlab routines in a Windows 10 64-bits and Microsoft Defender shows me Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml at the moment when was unziping Nemoh-master.zip file. All the files date 11/23/2022 Nemoh V.3.0.1 downloaded from GitLab on 03/30/2023.
