Monstercat/Lano Flagging Antivirus? #104

Closed ghallain closed 7 years ago

ghallain commented 7 years ago

Both the Monstercat and Lano visualizer have been flagged by my antivirus, Webroot, as they apparently both contain Pua.Downloadmanager. Is this a known false flag, or something else?

The antivirus flags RainRGB.exe as a virus, which is a false flag. We had issues with antivirus software detecting it before but the executable is coming from a developer of Rainmeter itself and it's only detected in a few antivirus softwares including Webroot. If you downloaded the skin from Github or the DeviantArt page you should be fine :)
