Bit-Defender randomly decided Potato was Malware #489

I have no idea why, but I noticed it after BD killed the process and deleted all of my wld files. I went and pulled up Windows 7's Previous version mode to restore them and it did so again.

After finally realizing it was the Anti-Virus doing it, I went into quarentine to see what detection it had Triggered, it said ad4.detection. Did this with both the 32 and 64 bit versions downloaded straight off the site. Figured I aught to let you guys know

(and naturally I can't post the screen capture of the window I snagged with the snippter tool, go figure, thanks, Github)

Thanks for the heads-up - would you mind emailing the screenshot (mike@keyboardzombie.com)? I'll see if I can get it whitelisted.

DFX2KX commented 6 years ago

Done!

BitDefender is hyper-picky about what it'll let run, So I'm fairly sure it's heuristics decided that Potato did something bad for some reason (the other flags I've gotten where from a pixel-art editor of all things)

That's great, thanks; I've submitted it as a false-positive to BitDefender, so hopefully they'll whitelist it. (The way that the Windows binaries are built does occassionally cause some AVs to panic, unfortunately.)

Closing this as it's now down to BitDefender, but hopefully they've whitelisted me :)
