Detects as Trojan #9

Closed cyberhck closed 5 years ago

cyberhck commented 5 years ago

The release when extracted and scanned, virustotal detects it as Trojan, can someone have a look?

joedf commented 5 years ago

This is a false positive with AutoHotkey executables. There isn't much I can do then maybe make a complete rewrite in a different language. There is so much about this out there: https://www.google.com/search?q=autohotkey+false+positive

how does electron does it then? I know it only works when electron app is actually running, but that also should be okay, right? Maybe a different version just for that? My company doesn't let me run Qonsole because of this 🙁

Electron interferes with qonsole? can you install autohotkey? maybe you can run it from source?

cyberhck commented 5 years ago

No, I mean electron also adds hot key kind of thing, except electron app should be running in order to use the hot key.

joedf commented 5 years ago

Electron runs on top of Node.js to handle any system functions, hotkeys, etc. Qonsole runs on top of AutoHotkey...

got it, there's nothing we can do about this.
