FFAStrans 1.2.2: Windows Defender alert

Post by renevane »

During installation of FFAStrans 1.2.2 (thanks for the new version by the way! :)), Windows Defender flagged rest_service_x86.exe.
Likely a false positive, but posting here anyway. I have now excluded the FFAStrans folder from on access scanning.

Hello Renevane,
Yeah, don't worry it is as usual, but maybe you don't need the version _x86 if you use 64bits FFAStrans version :)
Thanks anyway for reporting.

Yeah, we've always been struggling with antiviruses flagging the software as a virus even though it's totally fine and unfortunately that's partially due to the language used which is AutoIT. Anyway, if it asks you to send the file to Microsoft Server for a scan, please click "yes" so that hopefully there's a human being checking it and they'll see that it's actually a false positive.

Anyway... thanks for letting us know. :)
