Trojan virus detection #296

Open armnil opened 7 years ago

Hello, Mytherin! Tibialyzer is a masterpiece you've created, but I and some of my friends have gotten a virus alert recently. I tried to scan the tibialyzer.exe on virustotal and I detected:

"Trojan.Strictor.D1DC52" "Gen:Variant.Strictor.121938"

Do you know the cause of this?

Here's the full scann: https://www.virustotal.com/nb/file/9de89d09cc61c269607ad81d4137e466d663ace70da176db3de762f7f843d6d0/analysis/1485680585/

Virus scanners have false positives all the time, especially considering Tibialyzer does a few weird things (i.e. accessing the memory of another application) it's not so strange that some viruses scanners incorrectly see it as a virus. As long as you downloaded it from this Github repository Tibialyzer should be safe. If you want to be extra secure you can download the source code and verify that it does not do anything you do not want it to do, and then compile it yourself.
