Malware reported on the executable files by 5 different sources per Virustotal.com

Hey @Gverharst, are there particular lines in the code that the 5 different sources are being reported at?

[Gverharst]

@jlgutenson I do not have the code. We downloaded the APT Installer for Windows. As a matter of practice, prior to installing any applications we run installers thru "virustotal.com". When uploading APTs installer, the above 5 sites report the file as malicious. As such, we have not authorized our users to install this application.

Correction, When uploading "Antecedent Precipitation Tool.exe" to virustotal, there are now 6 services reporting malware.

[Gverharst]

Is this being looked into? We still have staff that are hoping to use this tool and are waiting until the potential false positives have been addressed, we cannot install this software.

Hi @Gverharst, we've submitted false positive reports to those companies and I'm waiting to here back from them. Only one company has responded (SecureAge) and they confirmed the false positive.

[Gverharst]

Thanks @jlgutenson I appreciate the status update. Please let us know the status of the other companies as you receive them. Our business users have been excited to begin using these tools.

[jlgutenson]

Hey @Gverharst, just to briefly update you, three of the six companies have whitelisted the software (SecureAge APEX, McAfee-GW-Edition, and eGambit). I'm still working on the others. Thank you for your patience!

[Gverharst]

@jlgutenson Thanks again for the update. I am sure our users are looking forward to begin using the application.

[Gverharst]

Are there any more updates on this work? Our users are inquiring.
I did check the current version at virustotal and now only see one vendor reporting as a trojan:

[jlgutenson]

Hi @Gverharst, I submitted a false positive report to that software vendor a few months back that appears to still be processing.

[Gverharst]

Hi @jlgutenson Do you have any updates on this? Our staff are eager to use the application.

[jlgutenson]

Hi @Gverharst, the false positive report I submitted to Sangfor a few months back that appears to still be processing. All other software vendors have whitelisted the APT.

[Gverharst]

Good morning @jlgutenson ,
I am no longer seeing the false positives. thank you very much for all your efforts. We are now approving this application for staff usage.
