Why does the VaM_Updater.exe attachment have a [VIRUS] tag?
Btw what is this false positive virus for?
Guys, please! This has been asked and answered a million times already, but it still happens on every other page that people will ask this again. Please, for crying out loud, learn how to use the SEARCH function at the very top, thanks!

you could've just answered rather than snap, same amount of typing. It's a forum, people talk... We can't all keep up with what y'all talked in the past. I am curious too now lol but too lazy to look through 300 pages.

ok, after 70 fkn pages

" Because that's just how this board works -- as soon as you attach an archive, F95 will try to check it on virustotal.com, and as soon as at least 1 detection is getting triggered, it will add a warning about a (potential) virus. For the file in OP, that's a false positive. "

I checked and the latest patreon updater gets flagged on virustotal too still

bro you need to learn how to interpret virus total results. its really is not a tool for noobies. atleast know the basics:
1. detection ratio: this should be first thing to look for. if for example only 4/73 engines detects it, then it probably means its safe. in this case only only 3 engines detected it.
2. Look for reputability of the engine. these three are known for false positives especially MaxSecure. well known vendors like kaspersky, bitdefender etc. have not flagged it.
3. look up wat the labeling mean. here "susgen" means suspicions behavior. its heuristic detection. this by nature will provide lots of false positives.
theres obviously much more to this but these three is enough to make a good guess. if you are still suspicious use services like any.run to monitor its activity.

Nobody asked you to go through all the pages, I was talking about the SEARCH function. And because you obviously still don't know how to use it, here's a quick tutorial:
  • click on your "Profile" and then select "Preferences"
    • scroll down until you find the section "Search options"
    • change it to "Most recent"

  • now, whenever you use the "Search" bar at the very top while reading a thread, only the current thread will be searched and the most recent replies will be shown.
    • it takes like 10-30 seconds to find out that the warning in OP is a false positive

See, that's what I mean, communication!! I would have never in 100 years thought of going to profile settings to do search in some thread. Thank you!
