[Alexxander]

Today i installed the latest v3.3.14.0

after a clean windows install ,during the installation of autoit  my eset nod found a virus in

C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\AutoIt3Help.exe

here is the online scan

i believe this is a false positive, but we need a prove , then we could fix this

this is the first time my AV find a virus in autoit, i had been using autoit and eset fro more than 3 years , any one had the same issue ?

I did also. McAffe quarantined it.  I just turned off the live scan and  turned off the internet then re installed. then reactivated McAffe and  excluded the file in real time scan.  I just trust Autoit to not do anything like that.

You can prove dirty. You cannot prove clean.

If it annoys you that much delete it ^-^ and use mine Virustotal 0/55 and if it means it get's to a virus or trojan scan your complete computer. Maybe something is infecting it.

But mine is not like yours 1.0.0.7 it is 1.0.0.6 ^^

It looks really like there is something defect with 1.0.0.7.

 

I hope i could help anyway
