Anti-Virus False Positives
Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2022 7:20 am
I submitted the launcher program to Symantec, McAfee and BitDefender as a false positive.
We'll see if they actually do anything.
Again, there is no malware in BallroomDJ!
The anti-virus companies mark the NSIS installer as malware, and they mark my little launcher program as malware.
If an actual virus happens to use the NSIS installer, many other programs that use the NSIS installer get marked as malware.
This is just incompetence on the anti-virus companies' part. They are marking the installer and not the virus payload.
They are making my life as an independent software vendor very difficult.
