And which exact viruses did your application detect? Or did it just give multiple warnings? Without a concrete indication it is probably simply a warning for an unknown application, nothing concrete so probably not much to worry about. Microsoft Security Essentials\Microsoft Forefront and Symantec Norton didn't report anything, I scanned the whole installation, so I guess it's a false positive. But we should try to contact Avira or something like that, such warnings will only frighten our users. Look at the attachment. Hi, we had this reported before: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=281582 This is really annoying and confusing to users. Use http://www.clamwin.com/ < it's Free Software ;) I did a quick search and found: http://forum.avira.com/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=131204 which explains how and where to send avira a false positive. Could someone please send the affected binaries to them? I don't have them at hand and don't know exactly which versions are affected. It should not take more then 10 minutes if you have the binaries at hand. I have contacted them and I'm waitng for a response Yesterday Patrick told me about getting no answer and I resubmitted the binary. Today I got a response from avira, that it should not be identifed as malware anymore. Then i installed avira on a fresh computer, downloaded the kdewin package and got no positive false more. great now symantec reports it as virus http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=b606fef7175e5fcb361a98390088f4f9532e0f12631e4964ccd52d1321597a9d-1320083138 (In reply to comment #7) > great now symantec reports it as virus > http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=b606fef7175e5fcb361a98390088f4f9532e0f12631e4964ccd52d1321597a9d-1320083138 here is the related positive form - https://submit.symantec.com/false_positive/ They expect to get infos about the product from which this problem is reported. |
