detected as a virus

[ahahahaah]

hello
i tryed to download the last release and avast blocks the download because of a virus detection.
how to be sure it is a false detection?

[CommonLoon102]

inspect the source code and compile yourself

[ahahahaah]

how to do this?

[CommonLoon102]

Learn C++

[ahahahaah]

learn c++ just to see if the antivirus displays a true or false notification?

virus scam

so you confirm the avast alert?

How else can you decide? There is no other way.
You can also disassemble the binary to assembly and inspect it via ghidra or IDA Pro but that is like million times more effort.

What is the behavior of the virus? Have you reverse-engineered it? What does it exactly do?

[Theo1996]

@CommonLoon102 Look m8 after several proper AV detect it specifically as a malware, and the repo has a bad history of scammers fakes, it is safe to say that is a virus and forget about it, since you are such a hackerman do all that work and check every line of binary for the greater good my fellow redditor tips fedora

antiviruses are created for this purpose (to avoid people learning programming languages each time they want to test a program) why ignore them?

It might be a virus. So what? What it is going to do? Are you logging in to your bank from Windows 7?
What if it is a virus? Don't you have backups? Do you have something to hide? And if yes, why you do it on Windows 7, which is closed-source and could be still a virus. Why don't you use Linux or FreeBSD then?

[ahahahaah]

It might be a virus. So what? What if it is a virus?

lol, then i would simply, not use it.
you really ask the question? the answer is not obvious?

No, the answer is not so obvious. People are using malwares on a daily basis, like Microsoft Windows, Google-based Android devices, iOS, apps from Meta, etc.
Running one more malware on your device wouldn't really change much.
