False positive with admin custom manifest

Post by Tony »

I am using enigma 5.60, however I notice I get a false positive with several antivirus if my protected software has this custom manifest which requests admin rights

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<ms_asmv2:trustInfo xmlns:ms_asmv2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
<ms_asmv2:security>
<ms_asmv2:requestedPrivileges>
<ms_asmv2:requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
</ms_asmv2:requestedPrivileges>
</ms_asmv2:security>
</ms_asmv2:trustInfo>
</assembly>

Any idea? I still get false postives with avast even with the new enigma.
Avast is really becoming a shitty antivirus

Hi Tony, looks like antiviruses do not like when software require admin rights.

In this case, the solution would be to report the false detection directly to antivirus. For Avast there is a submission form: https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php
