Just installed v3.10.0.20, and AVG anti-virus flagged the file in subject as containing virus IDP.Generic.d39beba0a618.3.2.

Here's a screenshot of the message AVG displayed. [img=https://www.screencast.com/t/P4n6u9FCt]AVG threat removed[/img]

Hi Ben,

Thanks for pinging me on this. I'm trying to report this to AVG at the moment, though I'm not sure how effective this will be. Do you have an option anywhere to report the false positive?

I have submitted it to AVG. I was able to get it working by restoring the file from AVG's virus vault, then adding an exception in AVG for that specific file.

Thanks Ben. I've also issued a request to AVG and received a response claiming that it was a problem in the scanner and they will fix it in a future version.

Same issue with Avira and nCrunch.TaskRunner.DotNetCore.20.x.86.dll: https://www.screencast.com/t/USgAHK8Y
(I've reported it to Avira as "suspicious false positive").

*Edit: Response from Avira team:

The analysis you requested is now complete:
File
quarantine.zip/nCrunch.TaskRunner.DotNetCore.20.x86.dll
Result
Clean

(Rescanning the object now marks it as safe).

Hmm, similar problem with AVG has cropped up again. This time it's flagging nCrunch.BuildHost462.x86.exe but in the AppData\Local... folder (see screen shot). [img=https://www.screencast.com/t/c5T6BgVnQP]AVG threat detection[/img]. This folder location keeps changing (with each build, I guess?). I have added an exception in AVG at the "\BuildSystem" folder and that appears to have allowed NCrunch to work again.

Thanks for sharing this. Can you report the false positive to AVG?

Done. I'll post back if I hear anything from AVG.

Another virus alert from Avira for same file (upgraded). I reported it as false positive and added the file as ignored in my system so I won't be nagged in future.

(Seems only Avira is flagging it (TR/Dropper.MSIL.Gen), see https://www.virustotal.com/#/file-analysis/ZTdiYmNmMGUyNTk1ODViNjRlOWRiNjBmMDg2ZmRkY2U6MTUwMzQ2NzkzNQ== )
