Setup Antivirus-Positive #102

Closed corbatrash closed 5 years ago

corbatrash commented 5 years ago

I tried to install filtration 1.0.3 yesterday, but I can't, avira free antivirus says setup contains a virus

Asymat commented 5 years ago

Same with Avira. How to whitelist locally:

  1. Open Avira
  2. Go to quarantine
  3. Select Setup.exe
  4. Restore it while checkin "Add to the ignore list" checkbox

And voilà!

This is a problem with Avira detecting the setup as a false positive (possibly due to its self-installing nature). There's nothing I can do about this and it's the only AV that has this issue:

Closing as this is a problem with Avira that doesn't occur with any other AV.
