The only ones who are not routinely dealing with false positives are the major software companies who do exchange some $$ with the AV authors. Self-proclaimed AV experts, have been running roughshod over indie authors for many years. Even if indie developers tell their customers the truth, that the program is fine and the AV company is wrong, the customers are still going to believe the multi-million dollar AV company and not run your software and bad mouth it for viruses.Īs indie developers, we are expected to do the work of the lazy and incompetent AV authors and report false positives and hope and pray they safe list our program, which may or may not happen and may or may not require money changing hands. Something I have raved about for years, but it is getting increasingly worse over the years. These AV authors have literally made it almost impossible for an indie developer to exist. The mafioso protection racket designed by AV authors with their false positives has become absurd. Said by Ole' Kuron several years ago on another forum: I assume those people just didn't buy? My website does link to VirusTotal though, which shows 0 false-positives (after I contact 2 vendors to remove their false flags).
