VirusTotal alert on QAP 10.1.1 installer
Capten > 2019-10-23 07:56
Hi,
QAP has become for me a very useful tool in my daily routine on my PC.
I notice however that the newest version of the installer (10.1.1) is currently detected by VirusTotal as containing a virus by no less than 7 engines. (Report attached. I downloaded the installer from the QAP and Softpedia sites to be sure.) The threat is quite specific and labelled Gen:Variant.Ulise. The VirusTotal reports linked to by the Home page are thus not accurate anymore.
I read about Anti-Virus false positives on the site, but this seems however to be an obvious concern!
Can you elaborate on this detection?
Cheers. -

Hi Capten,
Thanks for your QAP appreciation.
Where did you get your report? The links on QAP home page are refreshed periodically by VirusTotal or on demand. I refreshed them a moment ago and they report no issue:
EXE file (2019-10-23 14:44:32 UTC -> 0/71)
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/e74c1.../detection
ZIP file (2019-10-23 14:45:08 UTC -> 0/71)
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/f13af.../detection
False positives are always rare but are more frequent for newer files. I checked the exe files in the current packages (ZIP and .EXE setup file) and all files are well digitally signed. If you downloaded them from QAP website, you can use them safely.
I know you've seen this but for others, more info here:

Hello
I confirm that I also got a Virus alert from Cisco AMP for endpoint.
The "infected" file is ImportFPsettings-1_0-32-bit.exe

Hi Orlith,
If this file was downloaded from QAP website, there is no risk running it (but you will probably never need to run this old utility for Folders Popup users). This file is produced and digitally signed as the other .EXE file in the QAP package. It just seems that some algorithms do not like it at this time... Another false positive.

Yep, this is what I also conclude. That post was just for your information
Thanks
