Webroot SecureAnywhere recognized it as a virus

During installation, update.exe and update.dll were recognized as viruses and quarantined.
Yes. Unfortunately McAfee does this too. Sometimes it recognise it as a virus and sometimes not. My only solution currently is to make the project compatible with Hibbiki's Chromium installer and if It will work, I really don't want to touch it again. (Only some fixes if it gets wrong for some reason.) If I'm done I will upload it to virustotal.com and I will report it to every antivirus service which sees it as false positive.
You can try downloading the source code for each release at the releases page, and you can build it for yourself, if that helps.
Doesn't happen for me with Kaspersky. After checking the latest build (1.5) with Virustotal, the result seems fine to me. The 3 engines still recognizing it as malicious are not trustworthy in my eyes.
Edit: This is a good result, I just didn't make a screenshot of all 72 results
I want to trust and use this project, but the author literally writes code for stealing Discord tokens. I don't know man. Something just seems off.
It is literally an open source project. You can go trough the source code to see if you can find anything spicy, but you won't.
I am not intended to hack or steal anything from anyone's computer. I made Discord token grabbers because it was a great way to learn C# REGEX functions. And it actually ended up as a useful software. You can see that I was working with regex a lot: RegexValidator, ChromiumForWindows GetFileVersion.cs, and of course the token grabbers. Regex is a great way to get the required information from long and complicated text documents.
You can also build ChromiumForWindows for yourself, if you don't want to use my precompiled releases:
- Download the repository
- Open .sln file
- Set the project to release
- Press Ctrl + Shift + B to compile
- Copy the files from the bin/releases/ folder (bin folder is located at .sln file after compiling is done)
- Paste the files at %localappdata%/Chromium/ and start the .exe
It will automatically install the latest Chromium and put an Icon on the desktop.
The false detection might be because I am using InnoSetup to create Setup.exe-s for the software.
InnoSetup can create an installer for your software, but InnoSetup's own Installer already came up as a false alarm on Virustotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ae6823b523df87e9441789e51845434e4e0e70aac0b88afe80f94f20f4b98acb/detection
Insteresting because this Installer creator is well known and used by many people, even GitHub recognises the .iss files as "Inno Setup Install Script" files.
This is the Installer extracted ChromiumLauncher.exe file: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/64ca4e7e4b819a4dd61168c079f3f91d6c43cd1974aae5f4ad09b365723ef7df/detection
As you can see 0/70 detection rate so I don't understand why does it detect it after compressing it into an installer.
The new ChromiumForWindows 2.0 provides everything to build it up from source code. Even the InnoSetup install script.
Build it yourself and you will get the same results.
Currently only 2 antivirus shows false positive. (2/69)
I can't really do much about it, so I'm closing this issue. Building it by yourself is always an option if you don't trust in my releases.
Kaspersky Lab was kind enough to analyse the software and it is now even proven by them, that this is NOT a malicious software.
Therefore this issue won't be opened again. Use a trustworthy antivirus or report the false positive to your antivirus developer.
