Download rejected by Kaspersky #18

Closed RealTOC closed 3 years ago

I tried downloading under Firefox via two routes.

When using the download button on the Code page, Kaspersky refused because of HEUR:Trojan.Script.Generic, on the basis of Heuristic Analysis, mentioning Expert Analysis.

I then clicked on the Latest button on the right and successfully downloaded the zip file. However, when I extracted WinSetView.hta, Kaspersky immediately deleted it, giving the same reason.

It's a false positive. I have a case open with Kaspersky. In my testing, this only happens with Kaspersky Internet Security (not Total Security or Security Cloud -Free). I had the same issue with Windows Defender and it got fixed the same day I submitted the report, so, hopefully, Kaspersky will also fix this quickly.

Case Details: ID INC000013011632 Request topic: False positive File: WinSetView.hta From: https://github.com/LesFerch/WinSetView OS: Windows 10 Product: Kaspersky Internet Security Note 1: WinSetView.hta scans clean at https://opentip.kaspersky.com Note 2: WinSetView.hta was NOT blocked by Kaspersky Total Security or Security Cloud – Free Note 3: The false positive only appears to occur with Kaspersky Internet Security Note 4: Windows Defender definitions were updated to fix same false positive.

I'll just wait a while then. Thanks.

Kaspersky technical support acknowledged the false positive and updated their definitions. I've retested and can now successfully download, extract, and run WinSetView with Kaspersky Internet Security active.
