Conflict with Symantec Endpoint Protection

[RNiK]

Just downloaded version 5 of the player on my PC (Microsoft Windows Version 10.0.16299.1087 + Symantec Endpoint Protection Version 14). I've tried with both portable version with the same result: mpvnet.exe is considered "Infected" (see image below).

likely false positive:

WS.Reputation.1 is a detection for files that have a low reputation score based on analyzing data from Symantec’s community of users and therefore are likely to be security risks. Detections of this type are based on Symantec’s reputation-based security technology. Because this detection is based on a reputation score, it does not represent a specific class of threat like adware or spyware, but instead applies to all threat categories.

The reputation-based system uses "the wisdom of crowds" (Symantec’s tens of millions of end users) connected to cloud-based intelligence to compute a reputation score for an application, and in the process identify malicious software in an entirely new way beyond traditional signatures and behavior-based detection techniques.

Here is my result from Virus Total. It is most likely a false positive from your end.

Yes, it is a false positive for sure, but it's not "on my end". It is for every Symantec Endpoint user. I suggest you to contact them via the apposite form in order to whitelist mpv.
