Message that download files contain virus #233

Closed hirschferkel closed 4 years ago

hirschferkel commented 4 years ago

Downloading the zip or tar files will cause an alert, that the download contains a virus?

bug.n is based on AutoHotkeys, which establises hooks. The AV engines are detecting those through generic signatures. What I can suggest is that you send that sample file to your AV company asking them to whitelist it, as this is a False Positive. If you are too lazy, just add an exclusion to the folder containing bugn.exe in your AV engine, and it should be fine. Finally, you can read the scripts code to confirm that it's clean and of course, you can recompile it on your own.
