Zohar Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) HiAfter writing many scripts for my own personal use,I am considering to write a program, that for the first time, is meant not just for my computer, but for the masses.I will compile this program to EXE of course.And this makes me wonder regarding the "Are my AutoIt EXEs really infected?" topic.I am using ESET NOD32 Antivirus, and it does not recognize AutoIt EXEs as a Virus.The above mentioned topic, is from 2006.Are there any news regarding it?Do we have some status regarding What Antiviruses recognize AutoIt EXEs as a Virus(today..)?If not, can people here, who have different Antiviruses can post and tell what their Antivirus is aying regatrding AutoIt EXEs?This will really help me.Thank you very muchZohar Edited July 2, 2012 by Zohar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Search the forum, there's 100's of topics regarding this, no need to start another. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

Zohar Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Wow.The situation is not bad at all.I Covnerted an AutiIt script to an EXE,and uploaded it to VirusTotal, and out of 42 Anriviruses, only 1 thinks an AutoIt EXE is a Virus:Edit:I also tried to Compile to EXE without the UPX Compression (using /nopack),and the results are abit different:Still 1 Antivirus thinks an AutoIt EXE is a Virus,but this time it's another Antivirus - "The Hacker Antivirus": Edited June 30, 2012 by Zohar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitty Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) I've made a few programs, one of which has been downloaded more than 2,500 times, recently I decided to scan it on virus total, it was flagged 36 out of 40+ AVs which really pissed me off. Edit: especially since the files does no more than just edit a few files. Edited June 30, 2012 by ApudAngelorum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zohar Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 36 out of 40??? Completely insane What function might have caused the alarms to go off? Did you try to comment some blocks of code, in order to find via elimination, which function is the problematic one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitty Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I really wouldn't be sure, I doubt it's any specific functions in it that caused that either. When I had released the program, I submitted it to various AVs with source code so they wouldn't flag it, they said alright and I noticed the next day that 3 of those AVs stopped flagging it. 2 weeks later they and many others started flagging it so I just gave up.

Zohar Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Can you please tell me, When did all this happen? And with what version of AutoIt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abberration Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If you are serious about making your program pass antivirus checks, you can always submit your program to antivirus companies and let them check it out. Here is an article on the subject. http://www.softwareprotection.info/2011/08/antivirus-false-detection-how-to-solve/ Easy MP3 | Software Installer | Password Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
