[digiKam-users] Virus alert Beta Version

[Stefan-2]

Dear all,

I just tried to run the 7.2 beta1 and received a virus alert on digikam.exe and kbuildsycoca5.exe (MalCrypt.Indus!). I am using Comodo IS on Windows x64. Download from official server.

I have experienced the same problem with a prior beta version (I think 7.0 beta). The final releases run fine. I guess this is a false positive?

Thanks!

Stefan

It's almost certainly false positive. Where was digiKam downloaded from? Check the file for "https://www.virustotal.com/" with many available virus detection engines.

Thanks Maik,

I have downloaded from: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/kde/unstable/digikam/digiKam-7.2.0-beta1-Win32-debug.tar.xz

Virustotal shows only comodo as positive, all others negative. I was only wondering because the stable versions don't show this behavior...

So I guess I will add the files to the ignore-list.

You have downloaded the debug version. The program version without debug will not be rejected by any scanner. The debug version contains a lot of additional information, which probably generates the false positive. I wouldn't use the debug version on Windows because it's bigger and slower.
