Virustotal detection: Riskware.Agent! Hacktool Suspiscious_GEN

Started by Cram

First off I would like to say that I very much enjoy your Networx software, and have done for a number of years now. So thank you for a great product.

Secondly I would like to note that you do have both 'paid for' software, as well as your freeware products.

Thirdly I would like to ask about Possible malware warnings on Virustotal.com and post a link to my own Virustotal experience: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/8fc407cdee212b746991db218c10af581ef8caba25d091cf5daddf2e9957d973/analysis/1433440219
What please, should we make of all this, when as you state "rest assured we don't bundle any adware with NetWorx"?

Thank you, Cram

Please see this article, especially about NetFilter, which is not a virus.

This leaves us with 2 out 57 detections, one marked as Suspicious which doesn't seem to be anything specific and one marked Riskware.Agent, clearly a false positive.

You could help by sending the sample to a relevant AntiVirus company for prompt white-listing.
Thank you for your reply,

So bad these have to show up as it certainly made me question whether to continue using Networx. I guess false positives are something we have to live with and interpret.

Networx updated, thanks for your help.
