Avast Reports as Virus #90

Closed rcsnow closed 6 years ago

rcsnow commented 6 years ago

Environment

Description

Avast anti-virus is reporting this as malware. I reported it as false positive but it keeps putting the app in quarantine. It flags the file before I can finish downloading it . On Virus Total there are quite a few anti-virus applications flagging this as malware.

Expected behavior vs. actual behavior

Is there anything else that can be done to stop it being flagged as malware?

Steps to reproduce problem

  1. Install Avast anti-virus
  2. download and andinstall encfs4win

Relevant logs

Attach any relevant log files that can help to debug your issue (be sure to use the -v option for verbose logs).

Unfortunately this is a common issue with the NSIS installer software that we're using to create the installer. Eventually we can switch to a more advanced installer, but for now all that can be done is to report the file as a false positive and have the company inspect it so the issue can be corrected.
