Avast treats LazyFixTool as virus.

[Alucard648]

I am using Avast Free Edition antivirus. Downloaded PlatGEnWohl editor (mainly for testing, with HQ music) and during archive extraction, antivirus found a virus in LazyFixTool app and thrown the .exe file into quarantine.
Here is a pop-up message:

Any feedback and mentions about this issue is appreciated.

I sent request to Avast about false alarm with file and his sources. This utility converting graphics and safe.
In just case, please, check this: http://wohlnet.ru/sentfile/LazyFixTool.zip and report me

Uhm, it is very usual that it is because of the external libs. The two libs, which are used are GIF and BMP lib, and these are the ones, which should be sent as false alarm. Every Antivirus is making a fingerprint of an program and searches for suspicious code. This libs may are used for viruses. I don't know 😑

To add a exception:

[Alucard648]

Archive requires password to extract and , therefore, cannot be scanned by antivirus.

[Wohlstand]

Oops, password is "virus", I forgot say them, same archive I was sent to Avast

[Alucard648]

The result is the same - antivirus quarantines contents on extraction.

[Wohlstand]

False alert, you can send request about false alert too with link to sources of this utility.
P.S. In just case, please, update your virus-bases

[Alucard648]

The utility no longer treated by Avast as virus. Thanks.

Had to reopen this issue ticket because after update, Avast detects GIFs2PNG as virus and throws the EXE file into quarantine.

[KevinW1998]

Well, it seems that we need to start over again. Anyway, could you send the file to virus total and send me the result link? I would like to know how many virus scanner indicates it as a virus.

[Wohlstand]

Oh, again, false alert... Will send file ti Avast (Please, always send me versions of VirusDB and of avast)
Or you can send yourself: https://support.avast.com/Tickets/Submit/
Don't forget to attach link to sources of this file: https://github.com/Wohlhabend-Networks/PlatGEnWohl/tree/master/GIFs2PNG

EDIT: Update your virus base, I think, you have too old. If alert repeats - Will send report

[Wohlstand]

I was sent report to Avast, because another guy made test with fresh avast bases and false alert confirmed.
My report message:

Wait for updates

[KevinW1998]

I did a run through virus total: https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/8e84bd70f8f116b6516f54db78d4029c87e9a7328d4b10afd0612e6c407cbaf1/analysis/1406097145/

Strangly enought, the web avast system, doesn't mark it as dangerous. There is only one virus programm which marks this app as dangerous too (see report).

[KevinW1998]

Is it fixed yet?

[Alucard648]

Yes.
