Google Chrome and Edge think it is a virus, this activity tools is from github.
And Kaspersky, windows defender think this is a virus too, i upload it on virscan, six engine check it is a virus, so are these false positive


this is windows defender interface

It looks like some kind of software patcher or a real trojan. It's better to stay away regardless.

For those who claim K is more permissive for cracks; not anymore.

I don't support hack tool in general, but I hate adobe so much that I support the efforts of genp devs morally. So in short, no genp is not a virus or trojan if you are getting it from official sources. It's source code is also published by the devs, if you don't trust them, you can get the source file, build it yourself using autoit. If you search deep, you will know why it's latest version are detected by K.

@Lintianyun Luo your screenshots doesn't help because all should be in English language, so in general you should explain more all details in order to get helpful comments

Probably a hacktool/patcher as identified by Microsoft Defender. Kaspersky's detection at the moment is cloud-based, not any specific classification.
Maybe @harlan4096 can send it to Kaspersky and they'll classify it accurately.

Reported...

It is true that K. in the recent past, usually did not add some hacktooks unless they damage the system, but if the system may be compromised, They will add it without shaking their hands.

unless they damage the system

K detects the "famous" MAS which does not cause any damage

Hello,

Sorry, it was a false detection. It will be fixed.
Thank you for your help.

Yes, but it correctly identifies it as a hacking tool and not as malware.

K now doesn't detects Genp.

 

[harlan4096]

Yes, I reported yesterday as FP, and they fixed the detection.

As for MAS, some guys from MS themselves recommended it, so its kind of unofficially official.

Reputable would fit more than official.

 

[Parkinsond]

Yes, but it correctly identifies it as a hacking tool and not as malware.

but not looking the other side when faced with cracks as was famous of before; this is past.

But if it's correctly detecting them as being hacking tools, rather than malware, I don't see it being an issue.
