EXE cleaned by Bitdefender (edit: false positive)

[jeanfvoyer]

Bitdefender is telling me that this EXE file is a MALWARE :

On-Access scanning has detected a threat. The file has been deleted. PDFtoPrinter.exe is malware of type Trojan.GenericKD.71597464

Am I the only one to encounter this problem?

P.S. I Have ESET on my developement computer and did not encounter this problem.

Thanks.

@jeanfvoyer - I've added a paragraph about this to this page:

https://mendelson.org/pdftoprinter.html

I'll also add it to the GitHub page.

PS: You may want to consider whether a modern, fully-updated Windows system needs any third-party malware detection, and whether it does more harm than good. Search the web for some useful commentary on the subject.

@emendelson thanks and sorry I didn't get to that point in the article
