build file reports as downloader virus

DarrinTisdale opened this issue · 1 comments

The Avast Security's file guard scanner reports that the BV:Downloader-APK [Drp] threat is found in the build file. Looking at the code for the file, the following (lines 79-81) match that virus signature:

if command -v apk >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        command apk update
        command apk add binutils cmake gcc g++ git make musl-dev perl-utils

The report can be bypassed in the virus checker, but other shell scripts that perform similar functions do not report the same virus.

If this bothers you, please report it to the maker of your antivirus/security software.
