ViciousXUSMC Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I have it fixed on my side, added an exception for that particular scan.I was more or less posting for informational purposes of others that there is a new release so they can have a heads up. For long term I am actually thinking of using a unqie file extension for my scripts and adding a extension exception so that any new false positives will not effect us.
Mobius Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Hey ViciousXUSMC two replies not bad Seriously guys you know you could stem all the repetition (by both posters and responders) by simply locking the thread.

Agree, but let's then also agree that this logic would apply to way too many threads, so that ain't happening unless they spin out of control.

topten Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 For long term I am actually thinking of using a unqie file extension for my scripts and adding a extension exception so that any new false positives will not effect us. It is quite an interesting approach ViciousXUSMCCould you please give an example how would you do that?
ViciousXUSMC Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Firstly sorry if I somehow posted in a thread I should not have. I figured we would have a community thread to post notices of new false positives for other users to get a heads up, this thread was the first to come up in a search.Second topten.All I did was go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.exe and look at what registry keys .exe uses to be executed.I then created my own key with my extension to tell Windows that .XXX is basically executed same as an .exe so that way a user would not get a "how should I open this file" dialog.Rename any of my compiled AutoIT.exes to my new file extension.In the corporate virus software control center add an exception to allow .XXX to run without being flagged as a virus.This was the most "proactive" fix for me as it fixes it now and going forward with little risk.The original short term fix was to just add the particular "virus" to the whitelist but then down the road a new one could come up and cause trouble all over again. Regards,
Developers Jos Posted May 14, 2015 Developers Posted May 14, 2015 This is a pretty clever workaround with the only "limited" risk that a potential thread will read the registry and copy itself to this set extension which then also isn't AV scanned any more.The real nice thing about it is that all your distributed script executables won't be all wiped in one go when the AV company has a FU in the definition updates.Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

Neutro Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Symantec Released this today: Killing all my scripts out in the field and removing them via quarantine. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2015-050111-5257-99&vid=4294922793I guess I should submit a false positive report but the damage is done pretty fast :/ I had exactly the same problem today with one of my script.Seems like it's a bad Symantec definitions update. I will report this to them and hopefully they will fix it.

SCare Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 You don't understand the problem at all. The UPX program is a compressor that is used by a lot of software not just AutoIt. The problem is that the AV companies see all AutoIt scripts with the belief that it's "probably" a virus so lets flag it as such. The problem has been beaten to death, and the issue is that the AV companies are lazy.

c.haslam Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I am writing this, taking the risk of being banned: I realize that the previous topic I started on this subject was closed.I have a lot of confidence in the developers, so I do believe that when they write that there is no Trojan in AutoIt3Help.exe, I believe them; however, they should know that scans by virusTotal.com show mixed results. (Report available on request). 26 out of 51 anti-virus programs show it to be infected.

Moderators Melba23 Posted June 18, 2015 Moderators Posted June 18, 2015 c.haslam,No, you will not get banned - but you make yourself look very stupid. - Do you think you are the first to notice this? You are not.- Is there a Trojan in the Help fie? No.- Have the AV companies been informed? No doubt - I personally inform AVG every time they hit on an AutoIt file.So what more do you want us to do?M23 JLogan3o13 1 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area
