Malware detection by VirusTotal

[DavidHollman]

I scanned file printrun-2.1.0_windows_x64_py3.10.zip from https://github.com/kliment/Printrun/releases/tag/printrun-2.1.0 in VirusTotal and it reported some malware issues:

(It only shows 2 line items here although above that it says "3/70 security vendors flagged this file as malicious")

I then checked file Pronterface.exe from within the ZIP and it showed a bunch more:

I know false positives can occur but I have no way to tell one way or the other. Thanks

I just download the zip file in question. I can't find any virus or malware in our download files for windows. It is still the same file as it was build in Mai 28.

Reports from online VirusTotal scan today: Windows x64 version: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/e8276f37b6f86b158cec54f3273dff19847315471d5d9a9aaacea669baee377f Windows x86 version: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/af83cd65c418d02febbba3fa7f35b743b880f712ce1da423e20a7fb66fab83a8

We have actually 28k downloads of this file (x64) and no claims for a virus / malware infection, so my best answer is that this is a false positive in case you download the installation files from our repository https://github.com/kliment/Printrun/releases (this is the only place we publish official versions)

@DivingDuck thank you so much for looking into this. It certainly does seem like a false positive.

Closing since it wasn't a bug and it was addressed.
