Latest build identified as malware #30

Today I updated the nano package from 5.7-34 to 5.8-44 via scoop. After the update package file (nano-win_9672_v5.8-44-gc04962b5e.7z) downloaded, the antivirus immediately triggered, 

The file C:\Users\Van-Dame\scoop\apps\nano\5.8-44\pkg_i686-w64-mingw32\bin\nano.exe is infected with Gen:Variant.Fragtor.11006 and was moved to quarantine. It is recommended that you run a System Scan to make sure your system is clean.

I ran virustotal on the package where 8 / 57 marked this as malicious (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/fc93c4fca5abbd80ed5b799af7753002c14c14f16989b05ab5b102fd5efbc2a5/detection).

It is highly unlikely (imo) that this package contains said malware, but the malware class identified makes me wary to install (ransomware).

Why don't you try building one yourself? :)

The said file is no longer being detected as malware. Thank you to whoever got this fixed!
