Dear all, I wrote a win32 application to download files from Dropbox account. The program is Unicode and statically liked to Libcurl library. This program is distributed with software package to users to let them have new updates of the package whenever they are posted on the cloud. So, it is kind of auto-update utility. The problem is Norton Antivirus detects my program as having a virus and deletes it. The virus name is "Heur.AdvML.B". I compile this program in 64 and 32 bits. Norton detects the virus in the 32 bit version only. Norton does not detect any virus in the x64 bit version.
My machine has Windows 10 x64. My compiler is Visual Studio 2017. I downloaded Lib Curl source and compiled it into static library for 32 and 64 bit. I tried Lib Curl version 7.67.0, 7.68.0, and 7.69.0. All produced same result. I had a life chat with Norton support agent and allowed a remote control session to help me resolve the problem. He confirmed the file is indeed infected. But could not explain why the 64 bit is not infected. Norton agent suggested to exclude the file from Norton scan. But I explained this will not help. When Norton scans the file on the users machines, it will delete it from their machines. What I need is to resolve the conflict with Norton. I tried to search for the string "Heur.AdvML.B" or parts of it in the source files of Curl but could not find anything. I wonder if anyone has faced similar issue and what is the solution.
