Kaspersky Internet Security detects Virus and crashes SoundSwitch while updating (false-positive) #180
Comments
I've done the same. Online it tells me it contains: First Norton, now Kaspersky. Well, I can tell I have no issue with Eset. |
Case number: [KLAN-6077439232] |
Two things: The link used to download the file: https://github.com/Belphemur/SoundSwitch/releases/download/v3.14.1/SoundSwitch_v3.14.1.36246_Release_Installer.exe

I'm not blind, I saw that. |
I ran another VirusTotal (using the URL directly, then you know there isn't any tempering into the EXE before it reachs you): |
Because of the emails/comments I received, I feel the need to state this: It happened in the past to another open source project, syncthing/syncthing#3329. Also documented in their forum: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/kaspersky-treats-syncthing-as-virus-false-positive/7659/3 Please be patient. I'm keeping this issue open for visibility and to keep you, the users, updated. |
Just as note, this is the e-mail which i received after reporting it (different KLAN):
|
I received confirmation from Kaspersky support that the next database update should remove SoundSwitch as a threat. I'll keep this open until the update is done. |
Kaspersky has been updated. SoundSwitch is not detected as a Virus anymore: For the others, we need to wait for them to follow. |
I reported it at https://virusdesk.kaspersky.com as false-positive. The file has been sent for analysis to the Antivirus Lab. ...
