I have been using the page located here to guide me: http://www.softwareprotection.info/2011/08/antivirus-false-detection-how-to-solve/ I have some questions about some of the submit procedu...

Re: DOWNLOAD.CNET.COM virus scan positive!

Found out something real funny about CNET, if the user uses the cnet 'secure installer', the installer itself will pop up virus warnings! I saw a 'very suspicious file' warning! I tested their 'secure installer' on virustotal and it got 6 positives! Some quick research revealed that it is because th...

Re: DOWNLOAD.CNET.COM virus scan positive!

Finally, good news! It would have been extremely hard for me to get up to speed on this issue without your help. I believe many other shareware protector companies would just have gouged me hard for help in fixing the problem. You guys are the champs! What about the full version of my program, shoul...

Re: DOWNLOAD.CNET.COM virus scan positive!

You're probably right about cnet storing the control sum and then just using the previous report. I tried changing my program slightly and then recompiling and protecting with enigma. I then tested with virustotal and got 5 positives. I assume that since it had a new control sum and some antivirus d...

Re: DOWNLOAD.CNET.COM virus scan positive!

My submission to antivir is listed as 'pending' even though it is almost a week: http://analysis.avira.com/samples/details.php?uniqueid=W3kLmWbvj0wD7RTnPwUt6fvvL2T2R1sj I don't know what difference me submitting it will do, no information from me proving me as the owner of it was required.

Re: DOWNLOAD.CNET.COM virus scan positive!

cnet support is slow, I sent the request yesterday. I'll check out the forums. i just did a new virustotal and i'm up to 3/42. Maybe if I made a new copy of my program and changed some things I don't really need and I could turn off parts of your program that might be adding to my problem. Things I ...

Re: DOWNLOAD.CNET.COM virus scan positive!

they don't give any specifics in the email. I contacted their support department to try to get the specifics and am waiting for their reply but do not know how much they will tell me.

download.cnet.com is important to me because it has huge built in traffic and is also the most trusted download site.

Re: DOWNLOAD.CNET.COM virus scan positive!

I tried submitting my program to upload.cnet.com again and it bounced again with a false positive. I assume that they scan against a lot of products like virustotal does. I also assume that there may be scanner products that are not tested against on virustotal but which upload.cnet.com may test aga...
