Hello,

Antivirus we are using found Volume2 as infected software.

Reason: Heuristic.HEUR/AGEN.1124176|Blocked|Memory|$StringUtils.sanitizeUrl($!alert.infectionObjectName)|

Additional information: https://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/heuristic.shtml

Any ideas how to avoid these? What part of code could cause this? Is this false positive?

Yes, some antiviruses can detect virus. I think it is possible because of hooks. Volume2 uses hooks for keyboard and mouse to have possibility processing user actions for control volume.
