Virustotal.com flags as a virus? #22

Open dmanexe opened 1 year ago

dmanexe commented 1 year ago

Hey there, I am in the habit of putting software through virustotal.com. It appears that 2 security vendors are flagging this as a Trojan. Looking for an upgraded CLCL, so very curious as to what can cause this flag. Thanks!

This is a common problem with compiled scripts, discussion on the AutoHotkey forum here https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=62266

You can download the source code and run cl3.ahk - that is how I do it myself as well - you can also compile it yourself if you have AutoHotkey installed. No doubt several Antivirus tools will then flag it immediately as a virus as well proofing the point above.

fyi You don't have to install AutoHotkey, you can download the v1.1* ZIP file here https://www.autohotkey.com/download/

Unpack AutoHotkey.exe (the only file you need) and copy it to the CL3 source code folder, if you rename AutoHotkey.exe to cl3.exe - now you can start cl3.exe and it should work and you are running the script, not the compiled version.
