5 years ago Unfortuantely, Symantec AV has a long history of flagging Angry IP Scanner. See this: https://angryip.org/faq/virus.html
I have tried to contact them many times in the past without success. Please report it as false positive if you can. The more people do it, the better is the probability that they listen.

5 years ago Symantec also provides this info: https://www.symantec.com/security-center/writeup/2016-051813-2926-99
Basically, they don't like users using any scanners on their machine. But detection is definitely not "machine learning", just a database of strings and the fact that the old ipscan.exe that they have flagged for years is available from the same download page.

4 years ago i'm wondering if you could create a separate directory one you could mount with clone drive or something similar then make an exception for it on symantec /norton av i guess - and install it there or on a 2Gb usb as portable then you exclude the partition .. check out this article on how to create the portable version on ipscan - yes u can ; ) 'https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/create-a-portable-version-of-any-application-in-windows/' i haven't tried it myself so let us know how it went
Trying to install the latest update - but Symantec is blocking it using their Crowdsourced Heuristics engine.
ipscan-3.6.0-setup --> WS.Reputation.1
The partial file also gets blocked within the download process being detected as Heur.AdvML.C
** Note I have just submitted a report to Symantec marking as False-positive... But I am just a user. Can you review the installed package to verify it is clean and then submit a case to Symantec, please.
Note that only the installer is being tagged. The 64 bit executable is not flagged at all.
Many Thanks.
