Malware detected in release? #31

Closed oyvindln closed 4 years ago

Several anti-virus engines detect malware in the latest releases:

And people report it being removed by anti-virus:

Yes, I have heard same false positive issue from other users, too. I have sent false positive report to some AV vendors.

The above mentioned report makes whitelisting the reported installer package, not packages built in the future. The freshly built package is also false-detected, so I have to report them each release time. Reporting false positive does not solve this issue.

However, because there is no clear (= publicly documented) standard for detecting malware, it is not possible to avoid false detection by me and there is not fundamental solution for this issue.

Do you have any ideas?

Ok, thanks for the reply, and for this great codec.
