Big Box not working anymore- shows as Trojan...

Issue #846 invalid

Hey Brad! Great job on your YouTube Channel...I just subscribed.

I'm writing to report that my Big Box is no longer working, but Launch Box 5.10 still works fine. I installed IOBit Malware Fighter, and it detected BIG BOX as having: "Gen:Variant.Razy.55596" and Quarantined my BigBox Executable.

I downloaded the Beta version of Launchbox, and it took me to a newer version 6.10, which allowed my paid BigBox Premium account to work again.

So it would appear that the 5.10 version of Launchbox has a trojan lurking within it.

I am using WIN7 Home Prem 64-Bit. Everything worked fine a week ago. When I installed IoBit Malware fighter it found and quarantined several files...including this. You may want to warm other users.

    No, they're false positives. This has been reported a lot and the only thing to stop this is by whitelisting the LaunchBox folder. There are no Viruses or Malware inside of LaunchBox at all, but these programs assume we are. I like IOBit Malware Fighter as I love IOBit's products but I just personally use Advanced System Care and Malwarebytes Antimalware and I've never had problems.
