So the real number of detections are lower, but I suspect people trust their antivirus products and will discard my program. I believe ALYac, cScan and BitDefender use the same definitions. Some of the antivirus companies use the same definitions, I believe ZoneAlarm and Kaspersky use the same definitions. I get 7 detections if I only compile with Ahk2Exe and not use Inno Setup. Quote "Our virus specialists have been working on this request and they confirmed this detection is correct." and Quote "The following files were found to be suspicious*, and hence were not flagged as wrong detections:" Actually not "files" just one file.Īfter compiling with Ahk2Exe I use Inno Setup to turn my exe into an installation file. These detections are probably purely based on the AHK source code which is available in every compiled AHK script. Did you get any info why it was deemed no false positive? And are you applying additional compressing/obfuscation/encryption techniques to your compiled script? Which AHK version do you use? And what is your script doing?Įdit: I just tested with a small compiled script (AHK v1.1.1.33.02 64 bit) and got 2 false positives, by Cynet and Zillya - whoever this is ) Edit: on a repeated run which included more engines it seems, a third engine - Jiangmin - came also up - I think that's a one of the usual suspects for false positives. To understand what's going on, let me ask some questions.ġ4 seems a lot, even for AHK. I mean it's a well-known issue - still your experience seems extreme. Something else that VirusTotal should be called out on. Why VirusTotal is allowing such conflicts of interests and linking to competing websites with conflicting results and uncertified credentials is not understood. He also links to his website (), from off of VirusTotal, so clearly has a business interest. It's unknown how he comes up with his results or what his credentials are. But, something to consider is how many of your users are using Jiangmin products? So despite seeing negative detections, how severely it will affect you can be relative to what country you are in and your situation.Īs for community users, it appears that joesecurity was/is doing some damage to AutoHotkey's reputation by ranking it very low and as malware. Jiangmin is not the only one, as there are several problematic companies that VirusTotal lists for their own reasons. A Google search of them will reveal complaints about their company and product going back several years. Another route is that you can send comments to VirusTotal without joining them (but you can't vote or have your comments show on the result pages), by using this link- Īrguably one of the poster children for what is going bad is the AntiVirus company, Jiangmin, that appears to not respond to users, customers, or complaints about their product. That is, sign up on VirusTotal directly ( ), and then comment about AntiVirus companies that are doing AutoHotkey dirty or are unresponsive to users. I think us AHKers will have to concentrate a bit more on VirusTotal itself.
