Hello,

I have a portable version of my windows software that has been created with winPenPack. It is available for download from my product website: -Link-

Today I have received an email from somebody saying that F-PROT Antivirus shows it to contain a virus. So I have downloaded the antivirus software and ran a scan, the results are:

[Found downloader] <W32/Downldr2.IKVX (exact, not disinfectable)> C:\Documents and Settings\Beanie\Desktop\X-ConTEXT_0.98.6_rev1.zip->X-ConTEXT.exe
[Contains infected objects] C:\Documents and Settings\Beanie\Desktop\X-ConTEXT_0.98.6_rev1.zip
[Quarantined] C:\Documents and Settings\Beanie\Desktop\X-ConTEXT_0.98.6_rev1.zip->X-ConTEXT.ini

Is this an error with F-PROT Antivirus?

Many Thanks,
David Hadley

Hi Beanie/David,
this seems to be a classical "false positive".

I made a scan of X-ConTEXT_0.98.6_rev1.zip on VirusTotal, and the only result was F-Prot and Authentium; all the other services doesn't report anything as you can see...

Best regards

Hi beanie,
I agree with zandet2, it is surely a "false positive".
Unfortunately, some antiviruses (like my Comodo Antivirus, that also today alerted me about X-Context.exe) prefer to recognize the signature of AutoIt programs (the language that all X-Launchers are made with) as viruses, indeed of searching deeply for real viruses. We are trying to signal as much false positive as possible, but is not so easy...
Thank you again for choosing winPenPack!
Best Regards
