Bitdefender flags VirtualHere as malicious

Submitted by IFGow on #1

Hi,

over the last two days, Bitdefender has started flagging VirtualHere as malicious and refuses to let it run - has anyone else had this problem? I'm trying to report it as a false positive but the form refuses to upload to the Bitdefender website.  I sahll keep trying and see what they say.

regards,

IAin

VirtualHere doesnt have a virus, run it through virustotal.com and only bitdefender (and probably its copies) tag it. Its likely because virtualhere uses upx.

Hi,


Yes, I’m still trying to tell Bitdefender it’s false, but the form upload on their website seems to freeze each time (others have had this issue with reporting to Bitdefender which isn’t too useful of them).  I can always set it as an exclusion until they get it sorted.  VH was working like a champion until a recent Bitdefender update. Virustotal reported no issues on submitting the file.


Regards,
