Virus Total Report! #441
Comments
Is shell is really Safe? |
Please explain more about the bad IP relations. |
How could the virus total show 7 false positive results? And wait let me explain to you what I mean by bad IP relations.. |
Shell uses a system API that some antivirus programs consider malware because it is not signed with an EV code signing certificate It is expensive and I cannot afford it. The source code is now open. You can review and compile it, and then scan it by Virustotal. |
I can understand your point. And I will also check your source code one day. And I can say that I also believe that this is not an unsafe software, but the point is if you can do something in this situation then please do, i.e. if you can fix this antivirus detection thing then please do. my job was to tell and it is your wish. And thanks for the reply.. |
About a year ago, I tried to exclude some APIs, but later their use became necessary, so some false positive results appeared despite sending review requests to antivirus companies. Of course, informing you about this is very important and appreciated. I will work to resolve this issue as much as possible |
VirusTotal runs these tests with Windows Update and all other Windows bloat features turned on so I would not necessarily cry wolf about anything contacting certain IP addresses. |
Many whitelisted, known-to-be safe applications are typically flagged by a handful of vendors. The heuristics these AV's use to detect 'bad' applications are far from an exact science (but also sometimes correct!) |
Can you tell why Virus Total showing this? I just uploaded your shell.exe file here and Vrus total shows it has some relations with bad IPs..
