QB64PE Programs being flagged as having trojans
#7
BitDefender here.

I think it's because of the way that we can use QB64 to send keys to the OS?

Virus Total scan showing galaga.exe as false positive.

How can we tell it's a false positive?

Look at the scanners that "found" issues and compare it vs. the ones that did not.

Also check the sandboxes:

Anyway I added an exception to my Bitdefender to overcome all this because it's nonsense.

Also, note in my case, I setup an exception for things from github myself that I trust, (i:\git) but this was found because I ran it from an attached map drive with a different drive letter. Smile That's why it is redundant.

I wouldn't worry about this, as 90% of the scanners found nothing wrong. Even the Microsoft SysInternal sandbox finds it clean. You can see exactly what it does there.

VirusTotal is a good tool.
