VirusTotal/SourceForge

[MaxW]

I am a happy and grateful user of hwinfo and just registered for the forum to post this.

I noticed that VirusTotal finds "Trojan.KryptikAGen.Win32.18722" when downloading 7.72 from SourceForge ( https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file...8c944fc79315d10a4b4d96f3b8503c11d8b?nocache=1 ), but not when downloading from Local (U.S), ( https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file...b23e9bff56918a9daa8d1e4a5b70202c4de?nocache=1 )

I am sure, that it is a false positive, and may well have been discussed here already. Not really expecting any answers or explanations for this.

This is certainly a false positive triggered by 1 (Zillya) out of 71 antiviruses. And honestly, I never heard about the Zillya antivirus...

NB: The second VirusTotal link says that it scanned an HTML file (31.25 KB in size), probably the one contaning the download link. It's not the same as scanning the downloaded EXE file. That explains the difference.
