[opensource-dev] Viewer Manager (Launcher) and AntiVirus
Avira (and presumably all others) goes nuts on vmp_util.exe whenever it appears anywhere, worse, when i configure the viewer and it downloads and extracts the viewer manager package it immediately flags it as potentially dangerous in such a way that said file becomes completely phased, i cannot remove it, move it or otherwise interact with it and the configuration fails with "permission denied" until i restart the PC. I wonder what i can do about it, the moment i'm going to pack this thing into the Viewer package and offer a download people will chop my head off that its infected with Viruses. I know AntiVirus applications are shit but i'm worried about this happening not just to me but to basically every single user, this would be absolutely horrible. ___ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges

Submit a sample to Avira so they’ll whitelist it. https://analysis.avira.com/en/submit Bitdefender and Kaspersky don’t detect it as a virus (and Bitdefender thinks git is malicious, so there you go.) Further, code signing is your friend. Signed bins are much less likely to be flagged as malicious by crappy free antivirus suites.

Sounds similar to what I reported here: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-134328 I haven't been able to make it fail since.
