ClamWin detects XenonPortable as Trojan...!

eeroxasjr - February 19, 2010 - 4:18am

Hello, I don't know if someone besides me has noticed, but ClamWin DETECTED Xenon (another portable app) as a trojan.. I'll post the report some other time.. For now, can someone please enlighten me on this one? Thanks! More power to PortableApps!

And yes... I've read a report that a ClamWin (NOT a portable app) detected the XenonPortable installer as having a Trojan.. I'm talking about BOTH ClamWin and Xenon as portable apps above...

Sorry, I'm no expert.. I just want to know why, I love learning something new. Please be patient! :S

False Positve - Known Issue

It's a false positive. Submit the 'infected' file online to VirusTotal.com and you'll see that some may detect it, some may not. This is because Xenon is an AutoIT app. They have tons of false positives, which is why we no longer accept AutoIT-based apps.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
