Numerous false report of virus in MediaMonkey

[rustymonkey]

Hi,

Numerous MediaMonkey 4.0 users are reporting that the latest build/definition of SS&D is giving a warning that: "Filename: MediaMonkeyVHelper.exe" is "Identified as: Win32.Polipos.kl."

See the reports at: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=62151

Prior to release (and again today) MediaMonkey is scanned by MS Security Essentials, eSet Online Scanner, and Panda Security Activescan. In addition, both Download.com and Softpedia scan the app using a number of engines. None of these have revealed any problems.

The version of the software being scanned is: MediaMonkey_4.0.0.1459.exe (MD5: e82ff15bf4194b7e90a819c233858fdf), available at:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/MediaMonkey_Setup.exe

Can you confirm that this is a false positive and update the virus definition files if appropriate?

Thanks.

Rusty

Hello,

I can confirm a heuristics false positive on the MediaMonkeyVHelper.exe.
This will be fixed with our next detection update.

Please note that code signing and/or version information withing MediaMonkeyVHelper.exe could have also prevented this false positive.
