Trojan/malware in deta.exe

[javigaralva]

Hi, I've found a Trojan/malware (Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen) in the deta executable.
Here is the report of virustotal:

1 security vendor and no sandboxes flagged this file as malicious, out of 72 vendors. I feel like it's pretty safe to assume that it is just a false positive.
Furthermore, if you google that "Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen", you'll see a lot of examples of other software (unrelated to deta) being flagged with it as well.

Still, @abdelhai can you look into it if you get some time :)

Thanks for your replies :-)

On virustotal, pay attention to the big vendors like KAV or ESET. Some smaller vendors have the reputation to detect almost anything and ask for a "fee" to whitelist the programs. I'm not accusing MaxSecure of being that kind of shady business though.

It should just be a false positive. Seems to be a common issue for some Go distributions/binaries.
