I thought i contributed well enough.
Kaspersky has one of the best virus def's and it was flagged as "risky"
Deemed a "miner"
Yup.. old news.
This has been going on with wallets and miners for YEARS.
The only people who did not pick up on that by the VirusTotal results must be noobs.
And yeah i could grab the binary and disassemble it with cracker tools and inspect it manually..
I have done this for a decade or two and found plenty of malware and reported it first.
You see there is people who listen to what some AV program tells them
And then there is people like me who actually scan the .exe's manually and check them out.
Kids / Noobs don't see the difference they just rail on that my Norton Antivirus says it's a Virus.
And ? So ? Who cares.. get over it.
I use to download and manually check the Crypto uploads on The Pirate bay for almost two years.
90% of them were malware / Trojans / Keyloggers etc.
Usually written in C-sharp / .net (it's gotten big with Noob malware coders)
No one else did..
It's not that hard to identify a Virus most times.
I don't even see the reason to check it and i will go on the record saying so.
If i am wrong then by all means flame me hard & long guys LOL
But please do recognize what a false positive looks like.
You WILL encounter them in Crypto sooner or later.
I do like VirusTotal as an online service though.
And i was never trying to bash the OP for posting either..
It's not bad of an idea to let people know whether it's a real virus or false positive.
I doubt most people would scan it online and older users that know would probably ignore / exempt the .exe when alerted with a resident AV.
For example.. my password manager program flags pretty much all wallets.
Because they read the clip-board data.
But there is nothing malicious about it.
Good information, Bad delivery. Why so hostile man? People would listen to you more if you weren't acting like a 16 year old jock hell bent on making sure everyone in the room knows he's the best.
You having a hard day?
