Spyware.Pony #98

Closed Mmatiasn closed 7 years ago

Mmatiasn commented 8 years ago

I've downloaded the project and added to my project. Now I'm getting Spyware.Pony found in Assembly alerts from Malware-bytes, don't download this project...

lukeskinner commented 8 years ago

I just did a scan of the latest NuGet package v0.2.1 and it came back clean on the Virus Total scanner including Malwarebytes.

Did you add MaterialSkin to your project via NuGet or did you download the zip from GitHub? Either way neither should have references to any spyware.

My guess would be one of the following:

  1. It's a false positive
  2. You have something else in your assembly that's suspicious
  3. Your computer which is building the code is already infected with something

It's a clean version of windows 10 and I downloaded it as a zrip from Github. Let me take a second look but I have not added anything to this project but the materialskin.dll

If you feel suspicious about this project, just check code before running it. I myself have downloaded this project scanned(with malwarebytes, kaspersky and virustotal) and it was 100% clean. I was running project many times and I did run project many times. Maybe your Windows 10 is downloaded from untrusted source? Anyways project its safe and you dont need to panic.

I came to the conclusion that I was not able to determine the source of spyware.pony . I'll update this if I find anything out.

IgnaceMaes commented 7 years ago

Closing this issue. Everything is open source, kind of ridiculous to call spyware.

Make sure you only download from the official GitHub page and the NuGet (linked in the project's README).
