Trojan.Gen 2 Malware

The update for Irfanview today was flagged by Norton as having the Trojan.Gen2 Malware imbedded. Norton deleted the update.

Is this what I am to expect from PortableApps.com.

Tried to add an account, but each time it asks for an existing password. How can I have one if I am registering as NEW?
Very frustrating site.

False Positive

This is what's known as a false positive. It's an issue you'll have to wait for Norton/Symantec to fix. Here's today's scan of IrfanView Portable: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/86c771193d79e02a4c46e9b2bcdce259c25ce1...

As you can see, it's clean in 62 engines but shows the false positive in Norton and Trend Micro, which is not unusual for those two. Bkav can be ignored as it is pretty useless and has false positive issues with just about everything.

If you're curious about what an infected file that's not a false positive would look like, it would look like this: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/4e704aeb8d2d284c13ab2a12b77b3d18d0d1ad...

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