Bitdefender is throwing a gen:lazy.339029 and deleting the file

[TheRealAnubiss]

Hi,
I just tried the UI dated 4/16 and I'm getting a virus notification in bitdefender - any ideas?

Disable your AV

And it’s open source so you can check if it’s safe

[TheRealAnubiss]

Ok, and I've reported it as a false positive - hopefully they'll get it fixed. Thanks!

And it’s open source so you can check if it’s safe

@pro83 open source doesn't necessarily mean it's safe to use
you can share the source code here for everyone but the compiled extractor could perfectly be infected and the average 'dumb' user won't be able to check this out.

@TheRealAnubiss it's your Antivirus.

Well, it would be very risky for such a known enthusiast as Enderman to do such thing, wouldn't it? And also, as the program is open-source, users can always compile it htemselves.

@Yarpopcat08 the antivirus would complain even for a self-compiled copy because of it being a "untrusted application". This is why most devs have no AV or use Linux (myself included).

Back on topic, the user would know that it's fine because they compiled it.

"open source doesn't necessarily mean it's safe"

• This actually true, but the code here is safe.

[techguy16]

@Bang1338 is there an antivirus for scanning code? I don't think so.

Yes, this repository hosts safe code too.

nah there's no antivirus for scanning that, you have to use your brain to scan it

[techguy16]

@Bang1338 It was a joke.

the malware code is introduced while compiling the executable program

it would just be too stupid to display malware code on the source code. LOL

[thepwrtank18]

Proof?

[techguy16]

Why would @Endermanch add malware at compilation time?

who knows....

[thepwrtank18]

Do you have proof of this being the case or not?

[techguy16]

@andika207 did you actually disassemble XPKeygen or are you just assuming?

[andika207]

This repo is full of issues that report malware content. Everybody can't be wrong

[thepwrtank18]

Because it's a false positive? Antiviruses aren't different for everyone. Also, you ignored my question on the other issue page.
