[QUOTE="WildByDesign, post: 726518, member: 48641"] Unfortunately as we all know too well, the AV industry is well known for trying to "cut out" the competition in many malicious and negative ways. Not the only "cutthroat" business in this day and age, no doubt. But they are well known for taking the legs out from under the smaller guys before any of the up and comers have a chance to grow. Florian has already told me several stories that relate to AV industry doing shady things to take his business out. But I can only imagine how widespread this really is in the security software industry. Is it the installer binary/sfx package that is flagging? Or tray tool or admin tool from within the package? None of the running tools seem to be flagging via VT through Process Hacker on my system. I'll have to dig into this a bit more. My tool binaries might be slightly newer but I'll have to double check. EDIT: I just checked a handful of the tray tool binaries and admin tool binaries (x64 and x86 and different release versions, beta and stable) and these AV scanners seem to be all over the place. I'm seeing binaries here and there with 0 detections. binaries with 3 detections. Binaries with 6-8 detections. And these are all essentially the same functioning binaries with slightly different versions. This sort of random detection is quite interesting to say the least. [/QUOTE]
