Alt+Drag (probably falsley) detected as Malware on VirusTotal (2/75) #174

Hi there,

on virustotal there is 2 matches out of 75 for alt+drag, claiming:

This caught my attention via Microsoft's Process Explorer.

Can one explain this to me? I had this result on multiple systems, so I presume it's totaly legit. Maybe it's worth digging into from the coding perspective to see if it can be avoided. At least for the sake of compliance.

basically those are generic algorithms that detect wrongly AltDrag as infected. The reason is probably because it uses a low level mouse and keyboard hook, thus it looks like a keylogger to some AVs.
