Bitdefender antivirus detects virus #47

Closed TheDoctor40 closed 6 years ago

TheDoctor40 commented 6 years ago

So for some reason my bitdefender antivirus detects Gen:Variant.Johnnie.26779. Virustotal get's some hits with the same results as well. Any explanations why? It would be ashame if I'm not able to safely use this app anymore...

No idea why. I will contact Bitdefender and let you know.

TheDoctor40 commented 6 years ago

Awesome, thanks! Looking forward to it!

I've submitted the exe as false positive and am waiting for their response. I am very serious about this, I am registered here with my real name and my reputation should not be damaged by this.

Only reason why this might not be a false positive is if my development machine is infected already, but I rather think the AntiVirus heuristics are working a bit too good here.

That's indeed not so great. I hope the issue get's resolved by the AntiVirus companies fast!

Ok, so WhatsApp Viewer is now "clean" for BitDefender. It still has 5 hits at virustotal.com, I will check if I can contact the vendors. I close this.
