Description
On the virus scanning aggregation site virustotal, the Toolkit (v1.23.1.0) is being reported by some of the detection engines:
Jiangmin: Trojan.Generic.cbpgf
MaxSecure: Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen
Many of the detection engines are not reporting an issue. This appears to be a false positive, however we are investigating this further.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the Toolkit v1.23.1.0 package on VirusTotal and the Jiangmin and MaxSecure detections. Confirm whether the reports are false positives, then document the investigation and any recommended next action.
