What the heck?
I had a friend today accuse me of sending him a virus when I sent a simple copy of my game.
I did a test of a blank MMF stand alone and it still shows up as AdWare!! Obviously this is a false positive but it ruins MMF's reputation.
VirusTotal Report
It does. Report false positives like this to the respective anti-virus companies - that's the only way to get rid of these.
Either that, or you do actually have that virus and it's infecting every MMF app you make.
A false positive is much more likely.
Yea its the junk little virus scanners too. All the legit ones don't do it.
erm...are you trying to develop a virus? :p
Yes, and the virus scanner magically knows that!
It said Adware not Virus, not the same thing but he could be trying to develop Adware, I don't know what he's doing. My advice for our Canadish friend here is to get AVG Free, Iv'e never had any real problems with it.Quote:

I scanned a blank application for this test. I'm not making adware anything. I simply made a new app and built it as stand alone. Then I submitted it online to VirusTotal. It reported it as Adware and Joke something.
You guys can try it too. Just build a blank app and upload it to VirusTotal. It detects it as a virus... why? I don't know.
Try it in MMF HWA version.
See if that makes a difference.
