Need help?

Virus total is giving 8/55 false positive for my exe build. But incase of msi buld, it doesn't show any infection. How can i remove those false positives without manually contacting AV companies. Is there some issue with AI signature or any best practice I can use to remove those false positives ?

Re: Need help?

Hi and welcome to our forums,

I have tested your scenario but i can not reproduce the results. It is possible that one of your files may produce the false positive detection.

I strongly recommend you to submit to the antivirus vendors your built setup packages so they will whitelist it. This is a best practice and this way you will avoid such unpleasant detections. Nowadays the antivirus heuristics is changing on a daily basis and they become more and more aggressive. The best solution to avoid such false detection is to whitelist all of your built setup packages.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
