CloudDrive.UI.exe contains a virus?

Avira is telling me CloudDrive.UI.exe contains TR/Dropper.MSIL.Gen2 is it telling me the truth? This is the installer file I am using StableBit.CloudDrive_1.0.0.403_x64_BETA.msi

Notice the name? Gen2 stands for "generic".

 

Most likely, it's matching the checksum of a known virus... or it's because we obfuscate our code, so that people can't just decompile it. 

 

 

In fact, you can check it with sites such as VirusTotal, which scans files with multiple antivirus engines.

I've already submitted the files as false positives to Avira, and they should hopefully update their definitions soon.

Thanks, I did suspect that might be the case but thought I better check before ignoring it. Thanks for the link to total virus, I'll use that next time :-)

Not a problem. 

 

And unfortunately, our files do tend to get flagged every once in awhile.  

 

But thank you for letting us know.

 

And yes, the VirusTotal site is a nice one for checking things like that.
