Virus Detections in SABnzbd-3.0.1-win32-bin.zip

Post by proxyx »

Hello Forum,

I recently downloaded the Windows Standalone binary (SABnzbd-3.0.1-win32-bin.zip) directly from the sabnzbd site. I then sent it up to VirusTotal which subsequently exploded:

9/60 detections:

AegisLab Trojan.ZIP.Generic.4!c

Avast Win32:MalwareX-gen [Trj]

AVG Win32:MalwareX-gen [Trj]

Jiangmin TrojanSpy.Python.g

K7AntiVirus Trojan ( 0056bdb91 )

K7GW Trojan ( 0056bdb91 )

McAfee Artemis!5642D5635C3E

NANO-Antivirus Trojan.Win32.Mlw.hrjnpm

VBA32 TrojanPSW.Python

I'm thinking (hoping) these are false positives but wanted to run it by the forum.

Thanks

The build process is fully open source, nothing in there.
These are just general detections unfortunately.. We include a certificate file, already since years. But that triggers many virus scanners.

As a side note, why use the 32bit version and not the 64bit one?

I had a script that was scraping version updates from the sabnzbd site and downloading the 32bit file. I switched it to grab the 64bit version. Thanks for your feedback!
