Topic: Popims Scan

Hello,
i didnt look at popims animator all the time, because the program name
didn't say what the programm does (morphing), so i didn't look what is about (i was just lazy).
Today i looked what is about, so i downloaded it .-)
But because of the for me unknown download source i send the file to virustotal.

I think it is a false positive, but could you fix it?

Re: Popims Scan

Don't really know how to fix it... I've never heard of ByteHero before, and false positives just happen in virus scanners.

Re: Popims Scan

big_smile i also didn't heard about bytehero before, it is only there to increase the count of virus-scanners they can name ;-)
Also curious is "the hacker anti virus" which also has often false positives.

to remove a false positive, i had read that it is enought to switch some bytes ?
