Windows 8 / All Antivirus hates all mmf-made exes? Any solution?

You are confusing various things in this message.

False positives are a different issue. They happen from time to time and are usually quickly solved by the AV vendors who fix the bug in their virus definitions when we report it to them.

Could you please define "quickly" here? I've had an issue with CA Antivirus for over a week now, and I haven't heard from them. I did receive a quick response from Clickteam though.

Delete your current anti virus and install a different one. To heck with your current frustration.

I've used ESET Smart Security for quite some time now and have no issues. Once upon a time it flagged the kcmouse extension (I think that's the file name for it, mouse cursor extension). I submitted it to ESET and I haven't had issues since.

Yeah, in this instance the only available option open to people here is to keep reporting false positives as that's all they are.

Have you run your exe through https://www.virustotal.com ?

Thanks, Gar.

I'm posting the results of virustotal.com of my MMF2 build here:


SHA256: 3ac2ed5b3ac7bc181491b7ed68bd6166dae6da5936b5e95fd5 23ebfe91be5602
File name: lnchrt.exe
Detection ratio: 1 / 46
Analysis date: 2013-04-24 01:42:15 UTC ( 2 minutes ago )

Total Defense was the only scanner out of 46 that thought this was a virus. Since it nabs it from MMF 2 when I build an exe, even after a fresh install on a different machine, I am confident that this is a false positive.

I also want to thank Clickteam for responding to my problem quickly. You guys are pros.

Sometimes my antivirus avast goes off for apps I make when I use certain extensions.
