LB 5.10 Issue - Kaspersky Detects as a Trojan

[Former user]

Hello,

Just tried to upgrade to LauncBox 5.10 and Kaspersky Antivirus keeps detecting a "HEUR Trojan Win32". Seeing this is a Heuristic analysis, I was wondering if there is anything known with it at this point or if it is a false positive.

Picture attached.

Hello anonymous, this is a false positive. See here: https://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=277119

That's the first result that shows up with a Google search. I'm sure there are many more. Anti-virus programs these days spit out false positives like crazy.

It's also occurring in BigBox.exe for what it's worth.
Just an FYI, never saw this issue in 5.9 or previous. I'm thinking I'll downgrade to 5.9 until it gets sorted out. :-)

Thanks!

Thanks guys for these reports. I have the 5.10 setup re-uploaded and it's no longer triggering Kaspersky. I've changed absolutely nothing in my code; Kaspersky is just stupidly triggering these false positives because it has no idea what it's doing. Sigh.

You can re-download 5.10 here and install over top of your existing installation and the Kaspersky triggers should go away: https://www.launchbox-app.com/download?g=c579577b-5705-4be6-b791-bc012195c2ca

Good news! Just tried installing the new re-uploaded installer and it appears to work fine. Thanks!
