Rockbox 1.2.10 Virus Found

<< < (2/3) > >>

Chronon:
False positives are common with antivirus software.  You are welcome to report this problem to the developers of that software so they can address this instance. 

SheepCake:
I strongly reccomend microsofts AV, its given me the least false positives of any of the av's currently out there, I had to dump the top names(that i had retail licences for) because they kept blocking legit apps like shark007's codec pack tweaking cp, or rb utility.

this kinda thing happens, when im really in doubt, i toss the file in virus total and see what it has to say :)

hope this helps, note: avg has deleted the rbutil on me a couple times on friends systems saying it was a virus, even setting the file to white list and telling it not to delete files automatically didnt fix that issue(was months ago, they may have fixed it) so if you have avg, you may need to disable its real time to use the rb util.

Comodo also flagged this file as suspisious too, though I'm sure it's fine. Personaly, I'd like to see release files singed.

Although slightly burning them is a novel proposal, I'm not sure we'll act on it :)

Ooops, I meant signed, as in PGP.
hehe.
