Virus in gvgen.exe?

Dev

I get the same result for the msbuild release zip. It finished almost immediately, so I think they just hashed the file and showed me the cached result from your run.

I get the following results for other artifacts:

  • gvgen.exe from the msbuild debug zip is also detected by SecureAge APEX, but not MaxSecure.
  • The CMake 32-bit installer is detected by SecureAge APEX, MaxSecure, Bkav, VBA32
  • The CMake 64-bit installer is also detected by the same 4 engines

I am guessing that maybe this is a false positive, given I have never heard of any of these AV products. @magjac when you get back to your Windows machine, can you try running a Windows Defender update and see if Microsoft have releases new definitions that change the result?
