Al is right. If you don’t want to detect it ignore it. Using the ignore functions.

If I were you I would just put it in a clamav.fp file so it will ignore your installation while still identifying any other instance that showed up.

I was slightly shocked when it finished, and it said there was 1 infected file. Unfortunately it did not list exactly what that infected file was, so I ran it again this time logging to a file and grepped that file for "FOUND", and the result was: /usr/bin/xmr-stak: Multios.Coinminer.Miner-6781728-2 FOUND But... XMR-Stak is _supposed_ to be a crypto miner. That is what it does. I installed it for that purpose, compiling it from source since I am on Gentoo. So... is this a false positive then? Or is this saying something else, like, that my version of XMR-Stak has malicious code to mine on some bad actor's pool instead of the one I tell it to mine in? _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
