Bitdefender sees "RBXFPSUnlocker" as a virus

robsmi1056 · 2023-04-08T00:48:36+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello BD,

My son wants to install an FPS unlocker for roblox and apparently BD and several others are seeing the file as a virus. BD went as far as to say it has "Trojan.GenericKD.65861700".

[*sample file removed by @Flexx *]

Several posts online are stating this is a false positive and I'm not sure how to fully verify. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Rob

Hello.

Only the malware researchers at Bitdefender Labs can help you with the issue.

You should report the file(s) and/or the URL(s) as false positive to Bitdefender Labs here:

The detection is correct. While the sample is not a malware but it comes under the category of pup/pua

More information on pup/pua: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/26046/

The detection created by bitdefender is correct but they have marked the sample under wrong category. Instead of marking it as trojan, they should have marked it under the category of pup/pua

Will try to get in touch with the malware researchers and try to get the detection rectified properly.

If you want to continue using the file, you can simply set it to exclusion

Set exclusion in Bitdefender Antivirus: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/13427/
