Phoenixcoin NOD32 claims to have detected a trojan (Generik.NBQFSEX) in version 0.6.6.1

Hi,

I'm super-sure it's just a false alarm but I wanted to make you aware of it anyway. Since today NOD32 keeps quarantining my phoenixcoin wallet exe and I had to put it into the exclude list.

I'm not surprised. The wallet may use CPUminer which they have blacklisted for years.

Any word from the developers on this? My old pxc wallet scans fine. Trying to get an updated version from phoenixcoin.org leads to trojan alerts.

How am I supposed to fight those false positives? They flag whatever they like for no real reason.

The alerts might not be false. Compile the wallet from source.

Perhaps Samhayne should contact ESET Canada, and pass on the binary, to check they have been false positive someones binary.

Might not be false? The binaries are hosted by GitHub. No one except me has upload rights. I don't do trojans.

By the way, most of those ignorant AVs report it a Bitcoin miner. Of course it can do some CPU mining, but not Bitcoin and not without user consent.

It's not Report to a miner, it's report to a trojan ! I have 20 wallet (with half is include with a miner), and i haven't have report in any AV. I'm suspicious from this file. Can you add a realease whithout CPUminer ? Thx
