False positive on our software

Post by bromagosa »

Hi,

I'm one of the developers of MicroBlocks, a new programming language for 32 bit microcontrollers. A couple of schools have complained that Panda Antivirus Pro reports that our installer contains a virus.

What can we do to get the software inspected and whitelisted? It can be downloaded at http://microblocks.fun/download.html

Thanks!

Bernat Romagosa.

Hi bromagosa,

We have analyzed the file and it is not detected as malware.

To prevent the file from being blocked by our protections, I suggest that you add a digital signature to the file.

If not, send us the exact file that is being detected and the name that we give to that detection.

Hi there,

thanks for your analysis. The exact message is this one:

Sorry about the quality, but that's the picture the user sent us.

The exact file is microBlocks setup.exe, which you can download from this URL: https://github.com/bromagosa/microblock ... .setup.exe

I'll look into signing the app, but I'm not sure how easy signing Windows apps from a Linux box will be... will investigate.

Thanks again!

Hi bromagosa,

The file should not be blocked again, as the tmp files are classified as goodware by our protections.
