Portable App contqins Virus

There are details on the support page on how to double check: https://portableapps.com/support#false_positive

"Heuristic" means that your antivirus is not detecting it as a known malware/virus, but is attempting to "guess" whether it is. Commercial antivirus is *awful* at guessing and will have false positives all the time.

Note that you can completely ignore anything from Baidu, Bkav, Ikarus, Qihoo because they are nearly always wrong. McAfee-GW-Edition has constant false positive issues as well. So, the only lines you'd need to worry about are AegisLab and Symantec which are sharing some pieces of the same engine but not all of it if I recall correctly. They're both throwing a heuristic alert. Aka, a "suspicious" "guess" that it "might possibly" have something bad in it.

Generally, alerts like this go away after about a week once enough users see a given file and the antivirus company gets enough reports of the file being used without issue.

For comparison, here is what a scan of something that contains actual malware would look like: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/65fdb5d460b079279a4afcb45671b4ec4d7a2...

Fun fact: Neither Baidu nor AegisLab alerted on the actual malware.
