Bitdefender Total Security blocks ISO download due to threat/malware

[SuperSajuuk]

Hi there, tried to download this for my VMware installation of Windows 98 to get a better driver, but it seems the ISO linked in the releases is unusable for anyone using Bitdefender Total Security. Once the browser completes the download, Bitdefender automatically blocks and purges the file because -- according to Bitdefender -- the ISO contains "Gen:Variant.Babar.420629".

I did manage to get the file downloaded, which allowed me to scan the file and determine that the file that is causing this flag to occur is the "extras/qemu3dfx/qmfxgl32.dll" file. Unfortunately, because of that one file, my anti-virus quarantines the entire archive. VirusTotal also reported 7 vendors triggering on the ISO for this specific file as well: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/abe3b88f0870f7f39bad178ce4b97a91964ebb3f370ff2ca33b8d94cc6d6a652

I'd like to ask if this file can be removed from the package, or if multiple ISO's can be provided for each of the target virtual machine softwares, so that someone wanting the VMware driver doesn't get their ISO quarantined because of an unrelated dll they don't need.

Thanks for making this package, but needs this fix to allow it to be accessible to those using more sensitive anti-virus solutions. :)

False positive, nothing the developer can really do much about

easy workaround: 1 install win 7-8-10-11 vm 2 download softgpu zip file inside vm and extract files inside 3 delete that file, its not necessary for your usage 4 copy other files to host for achiving,

you can install driver from zip files, just runsoftgpu.exe, but for windows 98 you need to add files to 98 vm's hdd, two solutions: 1 create iso from that extracted files with some iso maker program like ultra iso etc and mount 98 vm (you can also download iso and remove the file with these programs)

2 or install win 98, close vm and add 98's vhd to another vm (win7 or later), run second vm, and copy files to that hdd
