Thanks for confirming.

Interestingly Zilya were very quick to remove the false positive whereas the results on Metadefender still remain the same as of checking today. I do however appreciate that in this scenario it is not of great concern given the installer is from my Central account and there would be many more reports if the installer were…

@Alexandru_BD thanks for following up. I can confirm I have since been able to sign in without issue.

@Flexx thanks for confirming. I should now be able to post links but won't need to in this instance. I did suspect it would be a false positive as with the other detections.

I have received a response from the support team advising issues with Central at the moment that are being looked into.

Sorry for the late response - have just tried to post the link here and in a PM but it won't allow me to post the actual links. Running the installer through Hybrid-Analysis using Windows 10 flags for under Metadefender and running the file directly through the Opswat Metadefender scanner yields the same results.

Still getting the message "You have to be around for a little while longer before you can post links." unfortunately.

The forum will not allow me to post links yet here or in PMs - how can I share this detail please?

Sorry for the late response - have just tried to post the link here and in a PM but it won't allow me to post the actual links. Running the installer through Hybrid-Analyis using Windows 10 flags for under Metadefender and running the file directly through the Opswat Metadefender scanner yields the same results.

@Flexx thanks for confirming. Is it worth flagging a false positive for the detections by MetaDefender via Hybrid-Analysis? AegisLab - Trojan.Win32.Malicious.4!e Filseclab - no detection type given just notes suspicious. It is worth noting the data for those reports is from mid-February (can't post links yet though).

Indeed I agree with the available options. I did however want to raise the matter and thankfully it has been raised with Zilya as FP.

I agree with the points made regarding source and number of downloads but it is still concerning when something such as the installer is flagged as potentially malicious.

What about the flags from Hybrid Analysis? This appears via MetaDefender on AegisLab and Filseclab too as a potential threat when scanning the file. @Flexx @Alexandru_BD
